Despite my first few days of working for Canadian Property Stars being rather lousy, my last three have averaged me making $60 a day.

I had been considering quitting and finding other work, such as the new Tim's that going in about four blocks from my house or the fabric store my mom frequents, but now I'm not so sure.
I'm still somewhat uncomfortable being a salesperson, but I have to admit that I'm making far more money this way than I ever have delivering newspapers.

I even managed to find somebody who might consider hiring me to join a couple pieces of software together.

You can make more than $60 a day working at Tim Hortons .

May 1, 2012 – $10.25 per hour. is minimum wage as of that date.

8x10.25 = $82 roughly.

Not sure if you're looking for FT/PT but you'll probably make more money at tims if you can pull 8 hour shifts.

plus the benefits that come with it (discounts on product - possible health/med if you move up)

That's something to be happy about :D


**Edit**

There's no 'salesperson' aspect to working at Timmy Hos.  people want coffee and donuts/sandwiches they sell themselves on it, all you do is punch buttons and apply tongs to donuts.
"God does not play dice with the universe; He plays an ineffable game of his own devising, which might be compared, from the perspective of any of the other players, to being involved in an obscure and complex version of poker in a pitch dark room, with blank cards, for infinite stakes, with a dealer who won't tell you the rules, and who smiles all the time."   - Terry Pratchett

That I have a job now, which gives me money to be able to have experiences like the one I had today. Stayed up all night cleaning my suite for moving out, then was biking one of the last boxes to storage. On the way there, I was stopped by a somewhat distraught-seeming man who opened the conversation with "Normally you wouldn't see a Chinese person asking, but I really need help". He explained that his car was out of gas, and he had no money at the time.

I figured what the heck, I could afford to help him out. If he never paid it back, it's no big deal. While we were walking to an atm, he talked at length at how surprised he was that he had stopped a Chinese person before me, who would not help him. He said, while trying to cover up the racial bias, that he'd feel more compelled to help a fellow Asian person if they asked for it. I said that I didn't think it should matter what race someone was, because that person needs help regardless of what race they are.

So even if I never see that money again, I hope at least I taught someone a valuable lesson about being human on this planet :) a good start to the next section of my life, haha.

Aeturnus

Yesterday I've done nothing but reorganize my room, and I'm pleased with the end result. I have a hell of a lot more room now than I did yesterday. The part that makes me sad is I've decided to get rid of my bass guitars. I haven't been playing, and as of now they're just cluttering up my room.

A great big box of sushi as a thank-you from the manager, and discovering that my boss is something of a gamer and technophile. This is shiny.

I'm sick sick, have not had any sleep, and am biking to work in three hours. But it does not matter because friends and magic are awesome.
