I have a job for the first time in years [View all]

Working as a customer service agent for Bank of America, through one of their contracted local companies. So if you have a BoA account and you ever have to call customer service, please be nice. It could be me on the other line!

I am working from my wheelchair. It's hard to haul myself around and my arms and chest are sore, but on the plus side, I am developing some serious arm muscles, lol.

Anyway, I thought maybe you guys would want to celebrate with me. I am making this work! I get my first paycheck on the 30th. Not in time for Christmas, but maybe in time for some post-Christmas sales! <3

Love you all.

Brandy
