I'm so in. I really need something to get me going, hopefully this will be it!

Riestrella - Yeeeah just a tad, I forgot to ask what my pay would be when he interviewed me for the job (stupid, I know) and whenever I asked for a rise he said I "wasn't due one". Getting paid twice as much in my new job though so all is well!

Happy new year everyone! Hope everyone's 2013 is off to a great start
