<p>[QUOTE="JCB1983, post: 1366562, member: 23885"]Just an update; I'm still working. Since I cover all of eBay and not just coins, he let me bring 27 Hummel figurines home, some pre war. So I was able to do all of the work from my photo setup in the laundry room. This is much better for me because the pawnshop can be very distracting to work; tons of volume, and phones galore. I am beginning to understand the nature of the business. I guess he hired me when they were backed up on coins. Now that our coin supply is running low, I've been doing other items such as cameras, War Mems, pretty much anything small. </p><p> </p><p> I really do not mind the boss, as much as I dislike the repeat drug using customers. It is very sad when someone comes into the shop, and you know they are only looking for a fix. I had an 18 year old kid that was loaded on pills bring his TI-83 Calculator in (I'm sure his parents spent good money on it). Now that is just too much reality sometimes. So we'll have to see. The main thing here was that something had to give. Last semester I was so proud to make it on the Dean's List. Now I'm waste deep in a few classes that really have me scratching my head. I plan on dropping 1 class, and re-adjusting my work schedule. Hopefully he will let me work more from home. Once he realizes that he can trust me, than I hope we can just document everything that comes in the shop, and I can take it all home. </p><p> </p><p> I swear one of my buddies who stayed in the Army would slap me right now. I was in the Infantry, and remember many a ruck march of being on the verge of passing out. Just praying for my discharge date. Funny how good I have it now that I reflect. Anyway, TY for letting me rant. Appreciate it as always.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
