That's why I'm still single, I drive a modded WRX and a Turbo Civic hatch, I'm working on the house now, just because I want a garage
I'm still underpaid for what I do, but it's florida salaries suck big dick, because of all the low paying touristy jobs. I'm making about $15.00/hr as a Survey and Engineering Draftman. Working on a promotion that would put me at close to $18/hr, then I can get a garage, I mean a house ;)

Computer Technical Support/Network Admin:
for a small company, dont have to work to hard cause there aint much to do, so I make $10/hr and work as many or as little hours as I want and my work pays for my college classes which can be $400-$1000 a semester, so gotta figure that in too.

I am doing nothing while I am at college. When I am home in the summer I work for an electrical contractor. I make about $18/hr untaxed. We usually take fridays off to go golfing or go to movies as a crew. Getting baked on the job is pretty comon, and the owner of the company is my best friends older bro. So things are pretty sweet in the summer. I wonder where all my money goes.

Its just ---- that gets broke when trying to get it out of the warehouse....we try to repack some stuff(all those bottles on the shelf) but mostly we just throw it out.

In Ontario(canada) you can only buy booze at "the liquor store" or "the beer store" not just at any convience store

weird eh!? :-\

i dont think he can since your like 13, your mom and dad might get kinda mad at him 8)

anyhow...
in GA you can buy beer and some liquor at the grocery stores and convience stores. liquor is only sold in privately owned liquor stores, though in Alabama and i think a few other states they have what is called a ABC store, Alcohol beverage control i think is what that stands for, anyhow they think that this like controls drunks or something i dunno i think its just another way of the govt trying to get paid since they pretty much have the market cornerd on liquor over their they up the prices big time
