They felt I would be a good supervisor because my test showed I was not overly friendly I think. I wouldn't be prone to doing more socializing than work, and I wouldn't have any qualms telling somebody they were doing a shite job.

you'll get it, don't worry. Owner seems to have his head screwed on right.

El Boss definitely does. I was the first person he asked to be manager, but he had to get a GM before he got other managers, then his whole scheme started. But he's a brilliant businessman.

Like I said sometimes people don't look at us the way we think they look at us.

For instance I consider myself pretty open and friendly, but many people think I am intimidating. I cannot, for the life of me, figure how the fuck am I intimidating, but there you have it.

Do you know the least expensive areas around the city?

Usually the areas with less expensive properties have cheap apartments if there's any.

Apartment rent, as well as buying/renting houses, usually depend on property values. It's not the same to rent an apartment in Highland Park than in Oak Cliff here in Dallas for instance.

I would love to search like that, but... all the apartment/rental websites only list the nice ones. The cheap ones don't get put on the lists.

Well, first off, do you know the areas of your city? Or if the city is divided at all into "zones". Down here you got a bunch of them.
