I start my new job on monday and I got a $18.40 an hour raise. Yes that is a raise not an hourly rate

I have been in good graces with this shop for a few decades and have entertained going to work for the old fella but his shop was small, dank and outdated. He built a new place a couple of years ago so that fits my needs. I hate dirt and grease so an old building and I do not get along.
That and his daughter that actually runs the place is freeking hot!!

I would love to change but my resume says mo-frigging-canic, and with the job market being the way it is it doesn't look like I will have any options for change any time soon.
I do however have an application in to be Sharon Stone's personal play toy. I am waiting for her to get back to me
