math 425, you can consider that a full time occupation.
I spend most of my time taking online courses to get some extra HS credits. Whenever I'm not doing that I'm working with my uncle painting houses interior and exterior. Don't know what it is about the Arizona Summer, but right around that time everyone wants the outside of the house to be painted. So that means I get to work outside for atleast 10 hours in 110+ degree heat. And let me tell you, where I live, 105 degrees sounds pleasant right about now. And don't try to give me that "It's a dry heat" BS. You tell me that when you're the one cleaning the truck in the hottest part of the day, and right about now it hovers around 112-115 degrees for most of the day.
Oh well, if anything it puts hair on your chest... And money in your pocket. $150 is normal pay, but if the day is longer than 10 hours it starts to go up... So yeah, I'm not exactly there for fun.

I get paid $10/hr in Wells Fargo as an intern in the marketing department.
In there, work = slacking off.
Easy work, but sometimes the constipation of work ends and suddenly I get loaded with large distributions. I hate wearing the tux though.......
Working hours stinks right through though. 1300-1700, you can't do anything great in the morning, or in the afternoon.............
Location is great, right off from Market Street, so you are there the second you get off absolutely any inbound bus. But the bus I take stinks........ There's no bus about 75 minutes at noon.
It's weird how we are never in the low/mid 30s. If we are not in a heatwave, the max temp is around 20C, but if we get a heatwave (indicated by sunny shores) it is always at least 37C.....

18 degrees overnight? Isn't that good? Especially during a heatwave?

My summer job is the same as my school year job with the exception that I only have 2 months to unscrew what you school kids do in 10 :nono: :roll: (One reason I'm not online here much)
So remember to be nice to your District Network Manager when school starts back up.
Oh - heat index was 100 yesterday... And this was in Newport...

We had one of our supposed "smarter" students running PHPproxy on his own domain about 6 months ago :rofl: - I think he's still grounded. Wireless is tough though not impenetrable but you wouldn't get to anything of value anyway (no wireless access to important VLANs). If you run a proxy I have a 50 / 50 chance of finding you :nono:
. It is still tough though to run a user to tech support ration of 750 - 1 and a node to tech support ratio of 500-1

our school has too little security on the internet, anyone from our school can get onto banned sites like myspace and all that easily, like the other schools around us already knew how students did it so they blocked the proxy site but i don't think our school cars or their just too underfunnded
the wireless thing is awesome, THEY FORGOT TO SET A PASSWORD ON THEIR WIRELESS, so anybody with any wireless internet could connect to it

"the engineer"
none of you have any right to complain about work!!! my REGULAR work day is 9 hrs long, then since my boss loves to get everyone to work (my department is understaffed), we all work overtime. which is why i'm not on the forum often. i get paid $20 an hour, $30 for overtime pay, but damn Canadian government takes 27% of it away, and still increasing income taxes.
a heat wave in calgary is like 29 degrees, don't know what it is in F. our normal temperature is like 20-25, very comfortable. and it's dry here.
Golly, you should move to canada, especially Calgary, we need engineers here like crazy. and the pay is probably higher than finland, except we have high taxes.
