Well I went to work with my dad today, And worked my arse off. I got to admitt it payed off me getting a whopping 50$ for 1 day of work. Hes even going to let me work with him tell I get enough for my computer. Looks like I will be able to play ah2 more sooner than I thought.:D
-
Joey, you ever seen a grown man naked?
-
jetb123, you'll remember this later in life and realise it has made you a better person. Your dad sounds like a pretty smart guy to me! Good luck with your goal.
-
Good for you Jet.
Nice to see you younger guys working hard for what you want.
It will reap you many benefits over your life.

Yea, I got a job that pay me 5.15 an hour washing dishes with very annoying people thinking there funny, just to play this game I must really love this game.

Your Dad is a good man. A lot of folks would just give their kids the money for the computer so they didn't have to bother teaching the kid something (believe it or not, teaching kids is not always a picnic). You're getting much more than a computer.

Do you like Gladiator movies?

I watch Gladiator movies while hanging around in a gymnasium, and while I'm in a Turkish prison!

Way to go Jet.
Always nice to see someone willing to work for their goals!
Hang in there!

Great to hear Jay. My dad was the same way and i didn't realize how much it helped knowing I had to work for things rather than just get them. Trust me, later on you'll be a lot more thankful for what he did for ya! :aok

Good for you! Buying something with money you WORKED for makes it so much sweeter.. It goes hand-in-hand with appreciation for the things you "posess" and is something you won't soon forget. You will ALWAYS remember (believe it or not it WILL be a good memory) it.
APPRECIATE... sounds like your dad has his stuff together.
:aok

-
Airplane.. And what picture did you look at? :)

jetb123--
I think I saw you say somewhere that you're 16. That would make you born around 1988.
Here's a bit of trivia which you may find interesting, since you seem to like AH:
The first online multiplayer combat flightsim--Airwarrior--came out in 1987. So these games have been around as long as you have :) Several of the makers of AH were playing AW even before you had started grade school!
Sorry for digging up the old thread (and hijacking it at that) but I didn't see the need to start a new one.

50$/day at 16? Wow the times DID change heh?
Congrats Jay/Jet!
-
Yeah, I tried work for 6 years. That was before I figured out I could just go to college for 4 years, and then grad school for 5 years. Not sure what to do after this year though.
hehe. It really is good to see somebody working for money. As long as its not me.

Show that pic.. I will give you a 2nd opinion.. ;)

50 dollars a day? Thats a crime. Please email me, I have the lawsuit paperwork ready for your pops and his complete disregard for child labor laws. In addition he's paying you under the table so we can barter with that and avoid the trial while threatening a tax evasion scandal. Ok 50 dollar's a day is still over mininum wage, but Im sure we can at least settle out of court for a new computer! Of course I will have to confiscate..err take my share of the loot...err I will have to be paid for my services so Ill just take that motherboard and processor.
-
Oh what a wonderfully american way to look at it jax
Why work when you can sue!
hehe

:P

You guys are nuts.

I just drive around with him all day. And enjoy the pit stops
-
I remember i worked restaurant for about 12,5 euro a day. I was 15-16 than.
My parents never spoiled me with cars driving licences and other material things.
Its good
50 dollar is a lot
-
Does he like it when Scrapps humps his leg...that is the real question
-
I'm gonna make a prediction here (with apologies to Karnak). You stick with it an earn the upgrades you need for AHII and you'll be amazed how much more satisfying it is to get whatever it is you've earned. Much better than just having it handed to you(not saying you have had anything handed to you).
My 16 year old nephew (the one that is digging foundations and pouring footings for houses this summer) has had an eye opening experience in choosing careers (lol, it's only been 3 wks.). He's hanging with it though.
