Summerjob

[Prpl_Mage]

Is this a thing where ya live? Students getting work for the summer to gain some cash.

Might've already mention that school of all kind is free (and you get some cash each month) over here so that we don't have to get in debt for trying to get an education. Anyway, summer is here and that's when more or less everyone wants to work and gain some actual cash and buy something nice (actually most people seem to save money to travel to an actually warm place over the summer).

Me, I'm spending 8 hours in an archive archiving stuff that needs archiving. Not seeing a lot of sun (not that we have much anyway). The pay is pretty good and the job is monotonous and demands little to no concentration.

So what are you doing this summer or are you all corporate sellouts these days working all year long?

Corporate sellout, reporting in.

I only got summer jobs 3 times during my highschool - college career. I was much more about taking a few months off to remember why I was bothering with all the stress of the rest of the year.

My summer job turned full time, which explains (partially) why I'm never here anymore.  I spend about 10 hours a day listening to people complain that we do not have sugar-free slurpees.  It's a slurpee.  That's flavored syrup and water that is frozen slightly.  If you don't want sugar, you're looking for ice.  That's on a different machine.  That and the constant fear of getting shot.  Apu.

And now to disappear to the abyss of the internet for several months.

I'm a pharmacy intern at meijer for the summer. 40 hour weeks dealing with biopolar customers and 90 year old people taking 10 drugs that all interact with each other.
I get calls asking if it is ok to take Vicodin with diet coke, then have the same person call 30 seconds later asking if it is ok to take it with coke because she didn't want to get diet. I get calls about how to treat a 3rd degree burn that a guy got from his crack pipe. I get calls asking which bath salt I recommend. I get to teach people how to use suppositories, and how to give them to their dogs. I get to educate misinformed women that contraceptive jelly doesn't go on toast. I also get to tell them  why their vaginal secretions are discolored, and how smuckers has no spermicidal active ingredients.
The job kinda sucks, but it pays well and is very unpredictable, so I like it.

What the hell.

I now have a monster craving for some toast and jelly.

*Cries at the fact that he's a government sellout who works all year round. Do to perfect timing however, I actually get a summer vacation. Yay! Even if it's only a month...

I'm not in college, but my little brother is. Yes, summer jobs are extremely big where I'm from. He's working in a Shop N' Save if you've heard of those.

I never had an actual summer job, but I remember volunteering for stuff as a high school kid. Mostly cleaning up neighborhoods and rebuilding houses.
