I joined MFC 3 days before the pay period ended and made $300-something in that time. Which for me, was about two weeks work at my previous food service job. It was pretty radical.
I don't work on MFC anymore, though. So bleh.
But yup, it sounds like you're trying to get yourself psyched about how great this job is.
Sometimes it's great. Most of the time it sucks.
If we didn't get paid large amounts, most of the girls here would probably find another line of work.
