I just took my pee test for a high profile car dealership in my city, and I essentially have the job (I haven't smoked in weeks and I know for a fact I'm clean)
Let me start off by saying 2011 has been probably the worst year of my 23 year life. Both my grandmothers died this past year, and I traveled to attend both their funerals. It's been incredibly stressful and hard not to toke during these times, because I know I have to get a job and make some money.
My father's business that he owned and made a wonderful living at for 30 years, is on the brink of bankruptcy, and of no fault of his own.. its just a result of the economy and housing market. Essentially, my family is broke, so in my time of need, I have not been able to turn to them for help... other than shelter (my old bedroom).
Ive been working retail the past 3 years... I finally got sick of the long hours, zero benefits, and terrible pay. I busted my ass for years, played by the rules and had nothing to show for it. I finally quit in March of this year, determined to better my situation.
Since then, I've literally applied to 60+ businesses for employment, 90% of them didnt even call me back, despite my efforts to call them back.
I was literally giving my friends short rides to work for bong tokes to stay sane. I was digging in the couch and searching parking lots for change to Coinstar so I could buy a few packs of ramen... I had to share the food to feed my poor dog.
And now? I'll be making 3-4x as much money, working the same amount of hours. Doing something I truely enjoy. That's living the dream isnt it?
I have unlimited earning potential... I'm used to $7.65 an hour, and I can potentially make over 10k a month... I cant even fathom that. 
For the first time in years, I am truely happy, and have something legitimately exciting to look forward to. I have a career to look forward to.
I guess, the point of all this is... really, never give up on what you REALLY wanna do. I wanted to give up so many fucking times. I cant even tell you. I lost all hope, seriously. I assumed I was resigned to a torturous life of retail... but just when things seem the worst... something will come out of nowhere and lift you up.
I dunno guys, Im probably a little delirious, I'm just so happy.
PS, cant WAIT to toke... as soon I get my first paycheck, I'm getting the fattest sack I can buy. Haven't properly blazed for a couple months!!

As far as I'm concerned, this is a once in a lifetime chance, to do what I've always wanted to do, it's a dream job... I drive an S2000 and I'm selling Hondas!! Obviously, it's gonna take alot of work to get in this industry and be successful... I've been studying alot of sales strategies non stop the past week. I really wanna make this work... make it a career. If that means only smokin a few times a month to stay focused, so be it. I'll do whatever it takes. I'm that motivated.
