“I was late to work one day in the past three years and you dock my pay two hundred dollars per year!” I yelled at my boss for an unfair drop in salary. “I quit man,” I said walking out of his office. “Effective immediately.” I got back to my crappy apartment and realized that I was going to have to have my phone cut off so I decided to switch to a burner phone save a little bit of green per month. So I got into my car to travel to the Family Dollar down the street because I knew they sold burner phones. I got there and remembered hearing Steve Vai playing over the speakers. “I would like to purchase and add minutes to this burner phone, I quit my job and-“ “yeah yeah yeah I don’t need your whole life story I work minimum wage to listen to …show more content…
“Uhh fine,” I groaned getting up to grab the remote. I was about to turn it back on when my new burner phone started going off, puzzled I looked at and answered. It was just my friend calling to test out my new number to make sure it works. I told him how I quit my job, and how my former boss is A COMPLETE MORON. anyway we talked for a bit and I turned Netflix back on and started watching and found out one of my favorite shows is going to be taken off of Netflix. In fact it is my all time favorite. and I quit my job so I can’t afford to buy the DVD of it. That’s annoying. I couldn’t get to sleep that night so I just kept watching Netflix. I was a little bit nervous about switching to a burner phone. Mainly because I’ve heard stories of people getting mixed up into organized crime because their new phone number belonged to a former gang member or something. You hear this kind of stuff happening but you never think that’s going to happen to you. It still freaks me out though. makes you wonder who had this phone number before …show more content…
I walked from one side of the city to the other looking for “HELP WANTED” signs. I found a couple of them that wouldn’t be completely demeaning. I went in and applied and even then there was a fifty percent chance that they would call me back, and after the interview there was a one percent chance that they would hire me. I had gone everywhere and barely any places are hiring. I checked the job section in the newspaper, Yes they still have those, and I found some jobs that I’m going to apply for next. I went home and filled out a bunch of applications most of them were online. I sent them all in and am waiting for a call back. I got a couple call backs within the next couple days and went in for an interview and eventually got a job at this small diner near my apartment Dave’s Diner. Really sketchy place. As soon as I started my job I realized we don't get that much business. It’s kind of a dive. rented retail space right next to a dry cleaners with a full bar and unstable tables and different plates. I tried the food though and it is absolutely

Its 2007 and I already took and passed my GED with flying colors, I needed to find a job and I really didn’t know much so I asked a friend of mine who worked for this guy named Frank. Frank had a business where he would install granite counter tops and tile floors, he was looking for someone to help remove and install the counter tops and tile. I was nervous I had never done anything like this before I was only used to either cutting grass or construction jobs with my dad that only pertained to nailing wood and sheets of plywood up.

The intention is to acquire a dialtone, that enables the hacker to move freely through the telephone network. It's generally getting more sinister. We are now seeing a criminal element now involved in terms of the crimes they commit, the drugs, money laundering etc. These people are very careful they want to hide their call patterns so they hire these people to get codes for them so they can dial from several different calling locations so they cannot be detected. The worlds telephone network is a vast maze, there are many places to hide but once a hacker is located the phone company and police can track their every move.
Growing up all my friends had perfect jobs for teenagers. As a teenager, I spent a lot of time applying for jobs and searching for places to work because money didn’t come easy and I wanted to be in control of my own money. But I could never score a job. I applied to at least 100 jobs at least twice and I still couldn’t get an opportunity.

Failure isn’t always something you have control of or have the ability to predict. Failure seems to happen at the worst of times; however we need to accept it, because you cannot always win. My greatest failure would be tearing my anterior cruciate ligament (ACL), my junior year in a lacrosse game, through no fault of my own in which my body physically failed me, but it truly changed my aspect of life in multiple ways.
A few hours later he heard a loud buzzing he realized it was coming from his phone he quickly picked it up in the hope of getting money
“I’ll change the tank!” I eagerly said. While I was changing the oxygen tank, I noticed some loose wires. Figuring that it was nothing, I ignored the wires. Just two seconds later I would wish that hadn’t ignored those loose wires. “BOOM!”

There is a point in everyone’s life when they step back and realize “I can’t do this anymore, it’s ruining my life”. Many of my friends have started smoking cigarettes while drinking at a very young age, and continue to use this drug currently and don’t realize the affect it has on their future. While I have been smart enough to avoid smoking, I haven’t been as wise at making decisions when it comes to drinking. The amount of partying I’ve done in college has taken over my life, and has had a huge impact on my grades. Changing my drinking habits and continuing to avoid cigarettes will enable me to be the best I can be for the rest of my college experience.
The house phone started to ring. “We have a house phone?” I questioned myself rubbing my eyes giving off a weary sigh. When did I fall asleep? I headed downstairs and it stopped. Again it rang and I guessed it was on the bottom shelf hence lack of usage. Pulling off the dusty cloth I grasped the telephone and answered.
I remember when I first found out I was pregnant I did not tell anyone, I had just turned 18 no job and no stable place to stay. Since my parents had split up and practically left my siblings and I to take care of ourselves.I knew telling my them was not going to make a difference since they did not care about anyone but their selves. My father was busy working out of town, and my mother was too busy with her new boyfriend. I knew I had to call my boyfriend Robert, he was not very excited about the news since we were both in the same situation,he told me he would find a job and a place for us to stay, I felt so relieved just to have his support. One month passed and I never heard anything from him , I knew I was left on my own. My mother had decided to let me stay with her after i convinced her I would not be a bother and will be out before my baby was born.
