re: Did anyone else have a "Campus Job" while at LSU? Do they still have them?

I worked for about a year as a houseboy at the ADPi house with a couple of friends. It was sweet sweet. We didn't get breakfast but would show up at lunchtime, eat our fill of their prime food, then shoot the shite with the girls as they came through the chow line. When they were all through we ran the plates/silverware through the dishwasher, scrubbed the pots and pans, swept out the kitchen, and took the trash out. Come back and do the same at dinnertime. Once in a while they had us grill burgers outside. One or twice a semester we had to wear white shirts and ties and pour tea at their sit-down chapter dinner. Lost the gig late spring when the housemother told my friend that she needed us there early for special dinner one night to grill steaks for the girls. He fell asleep and didn't tell anybody, she was pissed and fired us all.

Later worked for a spring and summer for the USDA through the ag engineering dept. It was good. Outside work, they taught me how to drive a tractor and bush hog. Had a truck and gov't credit card to drive around and collect data from the experimental farms, do general maintenance. Had cool grad student supervisors. There was a really hot chick that worked in the office. Once I leveled a tin shed with a front end loader and we spent a day rebuilding it. On rainy days just hung around the shop and found busy work but mostly goofing off. It did get hot as shite in the sugar cane fields and there were snakes but overall it was a great gig. I left the job because the fraternity demanded 100% presence at all fall rush functions with no excuses. I wouldn't make that choice today.
