[QUOTE="Estherfromjerusalem, post: 188066, member: 77"] difficult child (22 next month) has landed a job that looks like it might be good for him. It is as a motorcycle salesman in a very reputable motorcycle showroom. He was shortlisted, underwent graphology and several interviews, and he got the job. He started today. He won't be actually selling for a few months, but learning. The first three months he gets a set salary (which is not bad) during which time he will be sent on a couple of salesman courses, and then the set salary will go down as he starts to do sales (for which he will get a commission). He worked for four months previously in a motorcycle mechanic workshop. He loves motorbikes, and has had a couple of them. Although now he has an old car, because his girlfriend absolutely refused to ride on his motorbike! So now he has to start getting used to going to bed at a normal time, so that he can get up in time in the morning. And as a true difficult child, his biological clock is not happy about this. He is used to being out until 3 or so in the morning, and then coming home and being on the computer for another hour or two, and only then going to sleep, and sleeping until about 3 in the afternoon. Well, tough! Welcome to the real world, pal! Sorry -- I said this would be short, and it is already too long. I am keeping my fingers crossed that this time maybe it will work and he will hold down the job. He really needs the money. Love, Esther [/QUOTE]
