Just hooked up a fucking paper route for the weekends. How prolish is THAT shit?
Easy money though. Nobody looking over my shoulder while I "work". Listen to whatever I want on the radio. The route is actually in my area of town which is a plus.
Yeah, it will suck to get up early on weekend mornings but it's not like I can't go back to bed when my route is done.
I think the biggest plus is the fact that a lot of the good shit that happens in Mtown happens about the time I will be picking up my papers and starting my route. I'll probably have to start a thread on some of the goings-on. I start in a few weeks, so give me some time to gather some stories.

Paper routes build character, I had one. Now, to bestow the wisdom of my father on the night before my first day on the job (as he said, there is no way in hell I'm getting out of bed at 5 in the morning): "Johnny Gosch knew too much, you might see some shit out there tomorrow morning, but just ignore it and keep working." en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Johnny_Gosch |

Thanks, BTR but I really don't need the character building as much as the extra cash.
As for seeing shit I ain't supposed to see and/or being abducted, I think I can take care of myself.
And I will be sure to post good stories when I have some!

Not sure what you are implying.... unless you are implying that you want a foot in your rectum. |

dude, be cool to Gumby, fucking dude is a martyr. He lives in Marshalltown. He used to work in a fucking video store. He's busting his ass in a rapidly decaying wasteland that has massive inflows of cheap, illegal labor and he ain't pulling up fort and getting the fuck out. I respect the hell out of him, kinda reminds me of Clint Eastwood's character in Gran Torino.

If you must know, I wanted a part-time job for extra cash. Simple as that. And I wanted something where I could pretty much determine when I had to work, when I was done, not more than 5 hours a week. I also didn't want a part-time "customer service" oriented job like the video store since I do customer service bullshit all day. So.... there ya go, Chuck. BTW, no need to be threatened. I was just busting balls back atcha. I can't let a noob off easy making snide remarks my way.  |

Just clumsy wording on my part, trying to be witty and failing. :-( Seriously, have a great New Year's Eve (if that's your intent) and stay safe. |

No prob, Chuck. My original reply is probably one that should have had an emoticon to show I was just fuckin around.  <-----  BTW, it would be nice to have more choice of emoticons here. |
