That's cool. My family would be so cheap that they wouldn't pay me well at all. (grumble- romanians- grumble)

so.. what's vernon god little?

Vernon God Little is an amazing book, my favourite, written by DBC Pierre.

 

 

It's a hilarious satirical commentary on American culture and excess and such.

 

 

 

 

Vernon has a friend, a mexican gay kid named Jesus. The gay jokes go too far, Jesus shoots 16 kids then himself, and the small texan town of Martirio, which i don't know if it's real or not.

 

Well the town brands Vernon the scapegoat and i can't go into depth without giving anything away, but the plot is as ingenious as it is twisted. Please read this. check your library yo.

 

He runs to mexico ;)

In texas, 6packs actually have 8 beers. it's called a "texas six-pack."

 

That's what lone star beer cans taught me.

I just had a chat with my boss....

 

Yay promotion!!!!

 

Now I will have more fairly mundane tasks to do which means I might not be able to be on here as much. *single tear drip*

I have to go to work in half an hour, oh boy I love the sawmill. I'll be working from 5 PM to probably 3AM the next morning.

 

Joy.

Appropriate place to post my first erm, post. I'm an Immigration Officer in the United Kingdom, not in any way as interesting as it may sound ;)

I don't know shit about produce, because really I don't care that much about my job. Although, who knew starfruit existed? And for the record, broccoli juice has perhaps the most foul odour in the world.

I work at a casino. I'm always thinking of Truffle Pigs at work cuz I eat alot of shit from the angry fuckin idiot gamblers. Here's an example how stupid addicted gamblers are : we have these machines called "blazing sevens" they have a small progressive jackpot that goes up something like a cent every 2 spins. These progressive jackpots roughly get to $250 - $500 before they jackpot. I have people tell me all the time that they put "X" amount of money in to "their" machine. "X" generally works out to about 2X the jackpot they could win. I also work days and nights and I see the same people all day every day and all night until closing.

i went to a casino once. i sat in the bar and took pictures of gamblers with my cell phone until security approached me. i told them i was a private investigator and they told me to leave. i hate casinos, although they've done wonders for the cities that they've recently popped up in.

I definitely got the best summer job in history

 

I'm valeting at this 5 star hotel/restaurant in Vancouver.

 

Basically this is how my night goes:

 

2 hours of running back and forth (well, driving forth, running back. you get the idea). followed by two/three hours of watching movies on my laptop with the occasional car needing to be parked or picked up, which is finally followed by another hour or so of retrieving cars at a furious rate. I love this. Especially seeing as i get tips, and the cars are fucking amazing.

 

Job requirements:

 

1. driver's license

2. the ability to drive stick

3. not drinking on the job, even though we get free drinks the entire night.

Im a residential surveyor helper (aka "rodman") for Vista Geomatics. I stake out house foundations so they can be excavated. Good pay, good hours, outdoors all the time. It's sweet.

I'm a regression test engineer for the summer. I'm not telling you what I do for two reasons: 1) I'm under a pretty strict NDA, and 2) what I do isn't nearly as interesting as the title makes it sound.

Me too. Except I have acquired the title of "COOLEST RODMAN...EVER" I heart summer.

 

 

Yasa, do we work for the same company?!
