June 22, 200520 yr QUOTE(kyyle23 @ Jun 22, 2005 -> 03:30 PM) I worked for a vending company and held similar hours. I hated it, even though i got home at 12. Then i would go to sleep, and wake up and be groggy for about 4 more hours, go back to sleep, wake up at 1(or 1:30 if I was dragging) and go through the whole routine. It was killer on my body clock, I will never do it again. I can beat you all at worst jobs. I once spent a summer while in college working on a maggot farm. Yes you read it right, MAGGOTS, we bread maggots by the container load.

I quit White Hen and now I'm a tech guy at Vision Friendly.com. It's pretty cool. I have my own desk and stuff and I work and visit the internet sometimes.

June 23, 200520 yr I got two jobs (well hopefully) One writing for my local paper (first column runs on July 1st, btw) Second one, I got a job interview tomorrow for a summer job as a newspaper circulation assistant here but manager said he'd be really happy to have me come in. It's less than 40 hrs. a week and I get an opportunity to sleep in most days (3:30-7 pm M-F and 6:30-11 am Sa-Sun) Its basically just driving papers out to people who run out and delivering the errant paper to a person who didn't get one because the paperboy is a functional moron.

June 23, 200520 yr QUOTE(ScottPodRulez22 @ Jun 22, 2005 -> 07:28 PM) How exactly do you take the car when your 15? Texas allows "hardship" licenses at 15 and almost anything will qualify as a hardship. But you cannot drink and drive until you are 21

Thinking about where to apply at. i got my first job between soph-jr. year. It sucks, just apply everywhere, you have to get lucky someplace, that's the jist of it. I might have finally found a summer job this summer, working in some weird, small warehouse by my house, we'll see.

There's a Menards by my house, I think I'll apply there. A few months ago, Best Buy was taking applications for people in stock... should've applied there.

A few months ago, Best Buy was taking applications for people in stock... should've applied there. customers do suck. I hated my time at dominick's, but it got me some college money. btw, menard's you'd have to talk to customers just as much probably. advice: try and find a small place to work at. not a giant chain. how's basketball going? we're gonna have fun at the game tommorow, hope you enjoy your time playing basketball
