Introduction

Hey!



Where to start... Well, for one my name is Courtney. That's the most basic thing in my life. I'm a fast food worker. Did I mention I'm 24 years old? Yup, working a teenager type job at my age. Lovely right? Some choices I've made in my teenage years led me to this job. I know, I know, it's my own fault I'm working some crappy job I could go back to school and get a career - a real job. Honestly, I'm fairly content with my life even my job. I'm a supervisor so I guess it's not too bad even though I don't really get treated like one. That's ok. I'm getting paid a little more than minimum wage and I'm working an average of 5 hours per day you'd think there's not much that happens while I'm at work but my job is right across the road from a motel full of prostitutes and drug addicts and I'm the only Caucasian (which isn't important but funny stories do come with the fact so it's best I tell you all these things now) This blog will be full of all sorts of emotional posts that will hopefully mostly make you laugh and there will be giveaways at some point - I'm planning on giving away at least a $20 gift card maybe once a month or a few times a year. I also want it to be on a more personal level so I plan on finding a way to making the requesting to win process not so privacy invading and combining it into a video where I draw a name or something and posting it as well as contacting the person via email to let them know they've won and get their address so I can mail them the gift card. I want the gift cards to be for fast food places and maybe I'll throw in a Walmart gift card once in awhile because there's almost always a McDonald's or something in Walmart so it still kind of goes with the theme of the blog it's just an idea for right now. To be completely honest I'm starting this blog with the hopes of making some extra money in the comfort of my own home. My rented home, sorry. Yeah, I'm renting my first apartment with my boyfriend, Nick, we just moved out a few months ago. It's going really good and money is alright not quite as easy as I thought it'd be but we're comfortable enough to live but not having the money to be planning a trip anywhere for at least a year lol. Overall, it's been awesome though I'm so happy. Anyway, the sooner I can start making money from this the sooner I can start doing giveaways and the more I make the higher priced the gift cards can be. I'm very very very giving which isn't always the greatest thing ever but it fills a void within myself that I love. If I'm making like, $40 a month the gift cards will be $20 that way I have $20 for myself but if I'm making say, $500 a month I'll definitely do a giveaway of at least $100 to somewhere or I'll give away 5 $20 ones so more people can enjoy the free stuff. I LOVE to get free stuff. I'm one of those people who are always on those free samples websites filling in request forms and getting overly excited when I get mail with a free pad sample. Lame, I know, but it's the little things in life that are the most important. I really want to do something for operation christmas child this year - if you haven't heard of it it's basically just filling a shoe box or a shoe box sized container with school supplies, toys, etc. for needy children in other countries. I think it's such a great cause I really want to get in to it but I obviously don't make enough money working in fast food to afford even $20 to buy stuff to send to complete strangers even though I would love to. Oh, and helping our northern neighbours. People far up north in Canada are paying a ridiculous amount of money for food. I would absolutely love to be able to send a box of food up to a family a few times a year. Hopefully this blog can generate enough money for me to do all the little things that I financially cant do right now. I'm aiming high but not getting my hopes up. We'll see what happens anyway.

I'd love to hear from my readers maybe tell me some funny stories you've had at your job or anything at all. Having a personal connection with my readers is my #1 priority I want to know people are reading not just passing through, you know? I'll start my first real post and get the blog looking a little nicer and let you know if and when those giveaways will be taking place soon!

I'm rambling so I'm going to stop here. Have a good night :)


- Courtney
