Yeah but it sucks if you hate to dig in anything but snow, or bike jumps etc.

Do what I do: sit on your ass and don't get paid. I wanted a job, but nobody was hiring... so I sleep until 1 every day. Since school got out, I haven't been downstairs before noon, except for an orthodontist appointment.

Just got my lifeguarding certification. I may get a job at one of the new local pools (once they open). Even then it would only be for the month of August.

Answering phones at a beachside Hilton.  Pretty sweet gig, right?

WRONG.  All those Texans who clog the slopes in the Winter come here for the Summer, and guess who they yell at when they don't get enough towels?
