Week one of giving up my life for a camaro - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

iyam_lorne · 01-24-2010, 02:36 AM

last week I posted about how i am giving up my free time durring the week for 3 months for my camaro. How I have a day job mon-fri from 8am till 3:30pm and now i got a second job mon-thurs thats from 4pm till 2am. Crazy hours that hardly even give me time to sleep but will give me an awesome downpayment toward my camaro thats coming may 1st. Well, I just finished week one of that hectic schedule and I gotta say its really not as bad as I thought. Toward the final day at nearly 2:00 am I was kind of trippin out and in agony but Im always moving so it kind of makes me forget how much sleep i lack. When I got home friday evening after my day job I went to sleep and slept till like 10:30am saturday morning, lol. man was I tired. Oh and my new job also pays opposite weeks from my other job so that will be cool to see my camaro account build every single friday as opposed to just every second week. One thing I can say for sure though, soon as I get my camaro I am outta there and just back to my day job because I will be having too much fun rippin around in that bad boy to be working 2 full time jobs. So cant wait for may 1st. I just hope that they day I go pick up my camaro is one of the sunniest days. Id hate the thought of having to go pick up my brand new camaro on a rainy day. Thatd stink. Well, just givin you all an update whoever read my last thread and so far so good. Thanks for all your support too. You guys are all awesome. So glad to have camaro buddies like y'all.

Awesome, keep at it.

Thats a great story, there is certainly something to be said about a person that works very hard on their own to obtain something they really want for themselves instead of bitching about it till someone buys it for them or they win the lottery. Thank you for restoring faith in humanity

Wow dude, that's a lot of hours!! Good Luck getting your car!!!

PAUL SS · 01-24-2010, 10:11 AM

Good for you, just watch for the cumulative effect as the weeks progress. You can do this, but you have to take of yourself and not burn the candle at both ends any more than you already are for the next few months. Good luck and stay sharp.

Atta kid! Stick with it. Just keep your eyes on the prize at the end.

BluGoose2 · 01-24-2010, 01:14 PM

Hang in there man, it will be worth it. Drink lots of OJ and eat green stuff for energy.

Took my SS/RS for a ride yesterday. Didn't want to stop driving.

mjlash22 · 01-24-2010, 01:29 PM

That's one hell of a schedule and you plan on keeping both jobs until the car comes!? Best of luck to you but it is going towards a great cause!

jordan 572 · 01-24-2010, 01:36 PM
