The summer job thread

In 2 weeks you will know incorrect versions of Eruption, Stairway to Heaven & Smoke on the water note-for-note, as well as typewriter-slap bass bad enough to make you want to put your own fingers ina meat grinder. Buy lots of stuff to make up for it. :)

I Vill :D:D

I wonder if any Tbers from around this area would buy from me It would be nice meeting some you guys and i dont think i should ask every bass player that comes in if they are a TBer or i might:hiding:
 
Ah yes summer vacation, The teachers office staff and students piss off for 3 months of fun.
I get to wire a new building , purchase a ton of ****, build 4 servers, and fix all the **** they broke before they left. Move about 1000 computer around, add security cameras, fix the clocks, add a new voip system, build a new website, and try to find away to teach these people how to make their own.blah blahb blah

Gonna add up to about 18 hours days during crunch time.
I want to smack them when they say "Have a good vacation"
IT dept and Vacation or Day Off do not mix, and are never stated in the same sentence


just in, no raises, no vacation or sick days this year

no one forced you to go into that field.
 
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. :cool:

Aaand it's that time of year again. :hyper:
Whatcha doing this summer? I quoted meself as I'm doing the same thing again this year. Here comes chump change! :D
 
This is my first summer where I am higher on the "cool" scale, since hiking the Appalachian trail. I am working on a flash game to be licensed within about a month, and plan probably three releases throughout the summer.
