North and South Carolina thread

I'll be working at the Caribbean Cruise resort but haven't found a place to stay yet going up in a few weeks to look at apartments.

 

yea your at the north end of the MB strip... thats about 20min from my drinking/working areas haha so not to bad. there are some pretty nice places up there. it should be a fun experience!

what are you going to be doing there work wise?

 

Na i never saw you. The reason i ask is because my football coach at hillcrest was coach Gerrick. I believe he won a state championship at barnwell. He couldnt cut it as a head coach in the bigger classes.

 

Bell boy I reckon maybe a life guard if they decide to pay me to watch the pool as I'm certified to be a life guard.

Oh ok Barnwell is a 5A school what division was hillcrest.

 

that's really cool will. i might hollar at you at some point this summer. will probably go down to myrtle one week or weekend im sure.

 

i had a couple of friends play bellhop for a few summers and made BANK!

 

We cook for the hotel for a thing called Coastal Uncorked and get 3 days all expenses paid stay and the man whom is part owners and GM is a long friend if the family. Long story short I know a few bell boys and they usually end up with about $300 in tips at the end of the day so it should be pretty good.

 

yea youll have surprising days where you can double that....

 

I would hope so. I've seen my father give a bell boy a $50 so it seems to be pretty good money. Where should I look to rent a place out? My friend is going to be working for some baseball field somewhere around there so a place for 2 would be great and on the strip isn't required I don't like all the traffic anyway. It's going to be a huge change of pace for me because now I live in a town of 4000 to a town of 30,000 according to this.

Alright that would be cool.

It'll be my first job being on someone's pay roll so honestly I'm just excited to be making some money, even if it's only minimum wage. Do bellhops fall in the wage bracket that a waiter does where they can be paid less than minimum wage? I plan on finishing my radio, ~$1500, and upgrading my suspension, ~$1000?, and be done with the truck because it's just a road truck with a little lawn work/hauling thrown in so pretty much most of what I'll be making will be put away to help pay for student loans down the road after I finish my truck.

 

ok you may LOL. but idk why. but i thought you wear in your upper 20’s. i should have graduated in ’11 but i did the fast path as they called it and got out in ’10. i hated school more than anything els in life!!

 

21. I've worn hearing aids all my life and the teachers didn't feel that I was ready to start kindergarten so they held me back the again in 1st grade so I got a late start. They suggested that I go to special education classes but my parents didn't want that and I ended up graduating 24th in my class just to show those fuckers how much they know.

 

yea it most certainly will be a huge change for ya man! but you may like it. im personally not a huge fan of the strip. i try to steer clear as much as possible. the place i love to hang out around is just south called Murrells Inlet. much slower and just in general more chill.

how much are yall looking to spend on rent? thats the key. the house i live in rihgt now with my gf is 1000/mo but its a 3bd/2ba. so it was a steal. im moving to a 1bedroom that ill pay 500/mo for alone

the house i currently live in is down a road called Palmetto Pointe. its not to far from the baseball stadium but is about 15 min from your soon to be place of business. which really isnt that bad. but craigslist will ultimately lead you to your new home haha. but if you need me to go look at a place or something for ya id be happy to help out. i know a blind move can blow the big one.

 

Yea I'm not to fond of the strip either but there are some great bars there and I've been to Murrells we put our boat in up there a good bit. Is say around $500 would be good if possible.

 

oh. yeah i was in 1st for 2 years. should had graduated at 19 in ’11 but with the fast path thing. i got out a year early.

 

Holy shit...it was dark but now I can see.

 

Here is a shot I grabbed while at Hurricane Creek.

 

Umm wut?

It's looking to be about 600 a moth for a one bedroom apartment less than 500 square feet, I'm going to ask around and see what the bellhops say when I go up there in May. The plan right now is to find a place go to the 3 free days with the fam then move in and start working the following Wednesday.

 

Just disregard that comment. Someone else on here will understand what it means.

 

OK. Guess I'm just out the loop.
