I have the best job in the world.

Seriously, I have the best God damned job in the world. As the "Student Assistant Manager" of the Greater Dallas Youth Orchestra's Summer Music Festival, I get paid to do jack shit. Let's see; today, I basically just had lunch, talked to some kids who don't have any friends, then I practiced my insturment (which I would do at home), read Of Mice and Men (which is woefully depressing), and then took a nap (with my managers consent and encouragement). I can't believe I am getting paid to sleep!

Life is good.

I too have a pretty sweet job. I life guard my neighborhood pool - I get paid minimum wage to sit around and watch little kids swim while blasting out some fine breaks or house. Usually my music is enough to drive people away too, so I can end up taking a nap . All you have to do is clean up once and a while and fuck with the pump if the pressure gets too high. The only real downer is that it gets incredibly boring sometimes, but hey, I ain't complaining.

Boring? As a lifeguard? Lifeguards, here anyway, are notorious for fucking things up. A friend of mine lifeguards at this private pool close by, and they put shit and condoms in stuff in the pool so that they have to lock it down for 3-4 hours for cleaning. Or they harass other lifeguards from other pools. Lazy bastards.

Assuming you're working 40 hours a week, you make about $75,000 a year as an intern.

What.

The.

Fuck.

Ooh condoms in the pool to shut it down, that's a good one. Could save me from having to teach a few classes

yeah but how much do you get paid.


I used to work as a survey guy for a construction company. my boss type guy would do all the math and figuring out on site, so I slept. Then I setup the machine (that thing ona tripod :wtf and tell him where to pound in stakes.




and I got paid $15.28/hr, anything over 8 hours is time and a half, over 10 hour day, double time, sat = time and half, sunday = double....

too bad that company went under....but I did buy my turntables with that money.
