Well, to start at the beginning, today I was at the local car wash, washing my car and I clay bar'd and waxed my friend's '99 Corolla. The owner of the car wash comes over to me, asks me how I'm doing, all that. Then he tells me that he's been noticing me there almost every week even through the winter and is really impressed with how hard and how detailed I clean my car, and watched from start to finish how I made my buddy's Corolla shine. (This Corolla has NEVER been waxed even once in it's life.)

He then asks me if I'm working, I tell him yea, 4 days a week as a construction labourer. Then he tells me, "If you ever need any extra cash just show up here and work for me in my detailing shop."

I ask him what hours he works, he says "7:30am to 8:30pm, 7 days a week. Just come in any day, any time for work."

I ask him how much he pays, he asks me what I expect. I told him $10 an hour, he says that will work perfect and he'll pay more once I get a bit more experienced.

So long story short, I've got a new part time job to fill the voids of my construction job slowing down. The best part is, I don't even consider this real work! I love washing and waxing and everything to cars. I'm really excited to get started this week on my day off. My days off change week by week and I never know when I'll have a day off till I get a call the night before. So I guess I'll be working 2 full days a week, and go in after work sometimes too. Will be great! This means I'll get to pay off my Visa faster and more importantly, more mods! Plus he said if I ever wanted, I can clean my car in his detailing shop which is just a couple extra bays on the end of his car wash.

So yea Ron, this is the place you saw me and Alex at. I'm going to be a detailer in training as of this week! I'm really excited about it so I thought I'd post it here.

congrats...i did exactly what you are about to do. i worked for a construction company 5 days a week and then saturdays worked at a detail shop. did this for about 1 yr loved it, making extra cash and always being able to clean my car. got to be a little much working over 50 hours a week + detailing hours. but since you are only working 4 days a week i think you are going to love it even more. Some days i miss not being able to clean my car and finding all sorts of goodies under the seats, can't tell you what i found, i'll let you find out for yourself..
Good luck with the new job

Congrats man! Like someone mentioned, doing something that you truly enjoy as a job is the best thing.

If only I could get paid $65,000 for playing my PS3 or surfing the forums.
