Woo hoo!!! I am so excited!!

He has been applying EVERYWHERE for 6 months. A brand new Popeyes Chicken is opening next week and he has his orientation today at the Hilton. He went for his interview on Sat and they hired him on the spot. He and his best friend both got hired.

I think I am more excited than he is! LOL

Congratulations! does this mean you have to run him around to work and back? What is Popeye's chicken? is it like KFC? or BBQ rotisserie chicken? You might have to double up the acne treatment/facial cleansing if he is working in a greasy environment.(that's experience speaking...I worked at KFC in highschool)

Congratulations Nicholas. It's great that not only did he get the job, but he's working with his best friend. Is he also going to school while working?

It's like KFC just a different chain.

He drives to and from his job. He has training all this week from 5-9 and then he has school (11th grade) from 7-2:15. He is so tired when he comes home. Poor thing has had alot of homework this week so we will see how it goes.

So far, so good (but no time to see the girlfriend!).

So far, so good (but no time to see the girlfriend!).

But he'll have some pocket money- the great trade off!

Job didn't last long. He lasted thru his first week of training and 1 day of work and HATED it. So he quit. Oh well, hopefully he can find something else soon!

Hopefully he can find something else soon. Life is too short to dread going to work at that age, already. My kids both swore they would never do fast food jobs. Em worked at the movie theatre and loved it, even though it did require making pretzels every now and then. Wishing him luck.

A few of my friends say I should've made him get another job before he quit but if he hated it that much, why make him stay? I'm going to tell him about the movies. I bet he would like that!

That is tough to know what is right, but if you feel that it was the best for him-then I would say you did the right thing. I am sure that the people at the Popeyes are glad that he quit sooner than later.
