When it rains, it pours.

And when the sun is shining, well, you better put on some godd@mn sunglasses, boy!

Within twelve hours of each other I was cast in STAGEBRUSH Theatre's production of The Crucible, AND hired at Gold's Gym.

The EVEN better news is I may be starting as an assitant manager at the gym. Apparently, the guy really liked me.

The way the job works is like this: New gym members at Gold's get offered one free session with a personal trainer. Those members who want their free session are referred to either the manager or assistant manager who then assesses them as a client and tries to sell them on signing a training contract. Then they go out on the floor with their trainer for the day (who also tries to close the deal, if the manager could not).

As the assistant I will make a base pay of $600 per month, plus an 8% comission for each contract I can close. The guy was honest with me that you won't sign a whole crapload of contracts, but the contracts are for one year minimum, so just one or two commissions per month would be a huge sum of money. George, my boss, said he averages about five to ten new contracts per month.

The scheduling for that job may be difficult, but if it doesn't work out, then I am still a trainer for them. They hand me the warm leads for contracts, or signed clients if they close it. They also recommend that I be on the floor during peak morning hours to try to recruit clients on my own. Plus, for every client i recruit on my own, I get the commission!

Either way, and more importantly than all that: I HAVE A FULL GYM, FIVE MINUTES FROM HOME, FOR FREE!! HOORAY!!
