I'm a computer support person at my college. It's better than other jobs I could have gotten, but it still isn't that fun. The pros: flexible working schedule, so I can go to classes and work in between them; periods of free time when I can just browse the Web; and the work is sometimes easy. The cons: some of the people I help can be bitchy, some of the grunt work is annoying, and dealing with the same problems often.

My last job was pretty cool. I was a parking control officer. I drove around the city of Ottawa looking for cars in offence of parking bylaws, took HUGE lunches and brakes, argued with people all the time. It was a really cool job for a student.

I work in a law firm. The pay isn't that great but I'm getting some hookups to get into law school. The work is boring mostly but every once in a while I work on an interesting case.

Where did you find it?

That's why it's such a great job. Everybody hates us. As long as you don't take it personally though, it's really cool.
How do you get $200 for parking too long in a spot? In Ottawa you can only be ticketed twice in one day for the same infraction. For 2 hour overtime it's either $50 or $70 total. If you left it there for three days your car would have been towed away.
