My Summer Life

Well I’ve migrated down to Fort Myers, Florida for the summer and I am working for Pike Electric as a groundsman. It’s not so bad making $11.50 an hour plus per diem pay of $50 a day in cash and tax free, not to mention overtime on the weekends. Tomorrow is my first actual day of work, but I got a little preview of what it will be like today by riding around with my dad on the job and helping out a little. Yeah I am going to get sunburned quite badly I think.

Some of the negatives however in addition to the harsh sun include living in a shitty motel away from home with no money till I make my first paycheck. Also I am roomong with my father and I am expected to find something to do when my dad is screwing some slut. :eek:

Anyway I hope everything ends up ok and all though my dad wants me to take a semester off of school to save up money, I plan on quitting as soon as school starts back.

ok whoops I accidentally started 2 of the same thread so some mod please delete the other one.

Dude! $50 a day per diem and $11.50 per hour plus overtime? Get your own cheap motel room and your own, uh, entertainment as soon as you get paid.

I’d probably, no, certainly, have laid out of school for a semester if there had been a deal like this.

What’s a little sun? Jobs can’t be all pleasure. If they were you’d have to pay them to work there.
