Well, as a few of you might know, I've been doing promotions for a few FM radio stations. Since the hurricane, there have been no promotions, so that means no job. Long story short, I got an old stocker job back in the meantime. In this meantime, a couple of my bosses call me and let me know of an opening in one of the AM stations (870 AM WWL http://www.wwl.com) for someone to update the news on the website. And as of today, I got that job!!!

I think I'll be able to say this will be the easiest job I'll ever hold. For 6 days a week, I will be at home from 4pm to midnight posting news on the internet! One of my bosses asked me how much I was making at my temporary job and I replied "8 and hour". I liked his answer, "we can do better than that". I wonder how much better, but I'm not trying to hope too high :)

I find that this might be amusing for me as well. I used to post lots of news stories on here, kinda ironic...

P.S. if you can't tell, I'm happy lol :excited:

Good deal man. Sounds like something you're interested in and you definitely dont mind doing.

You were only getting 8 bux an hour before? Man, i dont wanna move out of East Hampton anymore. If i went home right now i could probably get payed 20 bux an hour working at my bike shop.

Anyways, congrats!!!!!!

Yea, before the hurricane, nobody paid that well. Now, since everyone is short handed, pay has gone up. A few fast food places are offering like 9 and 10 an hour plus 600 dollar bonus. The minimum wage here is $5.15.

I believe the Federal Minimum Wage is $5.15. I dont think its just for Louisiana, its for the whole country.

I thought they raised it, around here it's $6.50. I heard they were gonna raise it to like $7.25.

According to that, Federal Minimum Wage is $5.15, but some states have their own laws. So in your state, the minimum wage may be higher than the Federal minimum.
