The summer job thread

[bassteban]

So at 44, I have a summer job. I'm watching a friends' 6-yr-old son 3 days a week. This in addition to my own 3, 6 & 9-yr-olds. And just because I'm a masochist, we had my nephew's girl(2nd cousin?)over today. Talk about a flippin' 5-ring circus...

Edit: Oh, yeah- so post your summer job or related stories, real or imagined, here.

About this time last year I worked a week of 13 hour days. That kinda sucked. I was a sous chef, btw.

i have to work in a library...(please dont flame me).....its a huge step down from a garage where i use to work.

I work at the concession stand at my pool club. I sit in a small burning booth for three hour shifts and have to deal with kids and lifeguards annoy me trying to get free food and drinks (the lifeguards are the worst.)

And what's wrong with working in a library? I used to work in a library part-time.

That's where the smart chicks hang. You know, the ones who will someday have a job.

Its boring as ****.

well, ill also have a REAL job as soon as im out of college. But theres one problem with your theory, Trepassey has about 750 people, no hot chicks that live there EVER go to the library.

I work in a lumberyard five days a week and intern part time at the YMCA in the marketing department three days a week. I work way too much.

Still looking for a job. I'm at the top of the list at two restaurants to fill slots for anyone who quits/gets fired, but I can't really count on that happening, so I'll have to keep looking.

im delivering papers for an attorney's office.


I've thought about saying "Congratulations! You are being sued!", but it would only be funny to me

lmao

I graduate in two weeks.

Im starting a little business and I'm going to find a studio to Intern at, maybe look into post production.

 

[Visirale]

I'm intern-ing at my church... lots of secretary work, but on a plus side, I'm getting paid for my playing time there now, haha. Not bad for $10 an hour, 25 or so hours a week.

 

[LongHairFreak]

I've been out of work for four f*g years! Partially because of this, my wife and I decided day-care this summer is just too costly. So it's me and my 7yo daughter Mon-Fri, plus her best friend (another 7yo girl) Mon&Tues. No pay; just doing what a father/husband/friend should...I guess.

(sigh) Man, do I wish I had a life.

I started working for dundalk florist this summer as a greenhouse worker. Actually not that bad usually, just here lately its been bloody hot out there.

 

[peterbright]

One summer I worked for Orkin putting tents on houses that were getting termite treatment. No fun.

 

[Techmonkey]

meh, my saturday job is an all year round thing, I get some extra shifts in the summer though. sales assistant at boots (its like the UK version of Target, but with more food and makeup).

but I am doing voluntary work for the ol' CV this summer - one week in a nursing home, and two weeks at the 'cure for the common cold' research centre... upping my total lab work to 4 weeks (the other 2 being in the molecular bio lab at the university, doing stem cell research - which sounds more complicated than it actually was [just consisted of shoving pipes down placentas and pumping them full of saline, and harvesting the blood] ) , and one week of nursing.

 

[bassteban]

I have $37 in my pocket. I love my summer job.
