well i was working at a skate shop which was either 10-6 or 12-8 or someshit, it was whatever.....but now i got a 2 week gig selling fireworks in one of those stands in virginia and it goes like this

wake up at 645 am
get tehre by 830.....stock shelves with the Sunbursts, MadDogs, Chimes of freedom, etc. fountains (all the cool shits illegal in va).....and haul out a 75 pound sign or so that is too heavy for me to carry so i have to use my skateboard and put under the sign and roll it
explain to every customer that what they want is illegal in va
close around 8 or 9ish at night

basically its 12 hour days but i am getting good money under the table, plus tetris on gameboy and a good book help the time go.......i had to move back in with my parents outside of DC to do this but it all works because i get to go on a cross country trip the 9th of july to SF......the horrible hours are worth it because i can spend the next 2 months traveling around off what i have earned....i dont know what after that though...

Doctor Decapitated In Elevator Accident

HOUSTON -- Officials of a downtown hospital are investigating the death of a surgical resident who was decapitated in an elevator mishap.

Christus St. Joseph Hospital may release additional information about Hitoshi Nikaidoh's death after a closed briefing Monday, said hospital spokeswoman India Chumney Hancock.

Nikaidoh, 35, of Dallas, was stepping into a second-floor elevator about 9:30 a.m. Saturday when the doors suddenly closed, pinning his shoulders. His head was severed when the elevator car moved upward. A female hospital employee witnessed the accident and spent about 20 minutes trapped inside the malfunctioning elevator until firefighters were able to rescue her.

The traumatized employee who witnessed the death was taken to the hospital's emergency room for treatment of shock, but was released later that day, said Hancock.

Every since this happened in Houston, I jump in and out of elevators and never try and stop the doors form closing. Fucking gnarly, just like on that final destination flick.

my mom is a nurse in New Orleans, and the same thing happened at her hospital.  They were bringing up a guy for x rays when the elevator malfunctioned.  The bed was half in, half out of the elevator.  The elevator doors were still open when it started going up...the guy was caught against the roof half out/half in the elevator.  It pretty much cut him in half.  My mom said the guy had terminal cancer so I guess he was going to die soon anyway, but still...

I don't have a link to the story, but I think the hospital was called Kenner Regional if you want to search for it. 

I've heard a lot of bad things about Kenner Regional. My friend's aunt or something was having a heart attack and she lives in Kenner near the hospital. Instead of going to Kenner regional she chose to drive all the way to Oschner.

Well, I generally come in at least fifteen minutes late, ah, I use the side door - that way Lumbergh can't see me, heh heh - and, uh, after that I just sorta space out for about an hour.
..........

Yeah, I just stare at my desk; but it looks like I'm working. I do that for probably another hour after lunch, too. I'd say in a given week I probably only do about fifteen minutes of real, actual, work.

ok seriously, i am a director of investment accounting for a financial services company. 



i did at one point have an "investment" in a prominent skateboard company.  now, i only do "pro-bono" consulting work for said company....

I am multi jobbing it at the moment, so Im looking at 9-5 then 6-10 with weekend shifts and the occassional scheme.

Job 1- Revisions Operator

This is a job I have at a pretty big Advertising and Marketing agency. Its a paid internship right now, with the chance of a fulltime job afterwards. Lately it has been a lot of corrections for print ads. This place is pretty serious.. they have the Saab account, McDonalds, Bell Canada, Shoppers Drugmart, etc. When there is not anything going on with revisions I am usually piecing and designing presentations, checking out slap, occassional get to work on some free lance.

Job 2- Burrito Chef

This is just until I get a fulltime job that pays well, but for right now its ok. I usually get home at 5 30, get baked and am good for 6 when I go in. I usually take cash because I am to stoned and not in the mood for doing much after already working a full day. We usually have some drinks later in the night as we work, then I take off to home, which is conveniently a 1 minute walk away.

Scheme-

Lately, I have had a super cheap hook up for mushrooms so in two days and 3 chops I can bank around 425 bucks, but this also involves a good two days of work, I have to get to the guy who is from my home town, get back down town, then get back relatively quickly to get the guy his money. Super cool dealer, but like most, not the type of guy you want to have outstanding debts with.

This last year has been weak for me, so with all this going on right now I am finally seeing some money. Its real nice.

And skateboarding where ever I can fit it in, which isn't as often as I would like, but I am sure that will change when I can stick to one thing again.

[remEMBer]

I work for a Non-Profit Housing developer in Sacramento area(Davis) doing A/P work and general office work

Get up at 6:00am
Get ready and leave by 6:30
sit in traffic for at least 45 min, somtimes an hour
Im at work by 7:30 and check my voicemail
start work, surf the web about 50% of the day
Go run errands for work
Lunch
Surf the web more
Talk to random co-workers about expense reimburmsents
Talk to vendors trying to follow up on payments
Send out mail
suf web

then leave around 4ish and go meet up with my friends to go skate/film until it gets dark or some days I'll go swim if its too hot but the last three days I've been skating.

go home kick it with my girl, edit,caputre footage ,surfthe web, smoke some weed chil andl go to sleep at 12-1 and do it again the next day

The good thing is having weekends off and almost every holiday off including Cesar Chavez day(Mar31st) and my work closes the office down in December from 23rd until the 2nd which is always a plus to have that time off to bullshit around and spend the holidays with family and skate.

I work at the largest residential treatment center for youth in SE massachusetts. It's a place where kids go to live if they've been removed from their homes for many reasons, DSS, DYS, or if their parent's just can't handle them. Most of my kids are in and out of psychiatric hospitals and/or lockup, the parents are non existant or should be (many are locked up themselves, fiends, and just shouldn't have had kids), and the kids are placed in this group home/campus environment. It's pretty crazy sometimes, i've got kids aged 4-20 who need all sorts of help. For the most part i just hang with them, play ball, get them on a skateboard, talk, listen to music, help with stuff they ask for help with; basically serve as an authoritative figure mixed with role modeling and whatever else, a person who cares....  We do have to use physical restraints sometimes when the kids get set off, for me anyways, it's the last resort- although some fuckheads like beating on kids... I want these kids to find their souls and if that's not the case, at least help feed a mindset that will stay free of prison. Other perks are all the good looking women that work there, getting to skate a little flat at work, chilling., and it's pretty amazing that going into this place totally cuts out shitty moods from my mindset.
The day consists of:

wake up sometime between 9am-1pm.
Shower, shit, maybe eat, pushups, in no particular order
Head to the "work" spot
transition the kids from school to the cottage
get some food lined up and get rooms cleaned
head outside or play video games
get dinner squared away
get kids doing chores
go outside some more or to the gym
get the kids to clean themselves, take their meds, and head to bed
complete minimal paper work for the shift
Get out at 11:30pm
smoke a bowl, skate, play guitar, maybe go to the bar
go to bed around 2-3am
start again.

I really love my job right now, residentail counseling isn't what i'm down to do as a career persay, but it's been a great experience so far and gives me something to look forward too. the toughest part is keeping relationships with my kids minimal, when a good one moves on i'm always happy for him/her to have hopefully completed their goal, but it's like they're little bros..... anyways.. be easy
