Great way to meet your cross-campus neighbors that you want to give a tour of your dorm you to.

Also, Athletic Department, find the right ones and they have sweet game day perks. Plus, AD building attic + roof

Bet I know you

I worked at University Relations. Wrote small press releases, folded a lot of paper, stuffed envelopes, ran them through the mail meter machine. I also got to deliver inter-office mail in the LSU owned Chevy Malibu all over campus. I’m pretty sure that when I left that job I had been inside every single building on campus, even the ones off campus like the Rural Life Museum. Outside of that I was the office do it all. Moved furniture, served as talent in campus produced safety and promotional videos, washed cars, basically did whatever they needed.

After that I sold display ads in the Reveille until I graduated. Sometimes I would make serious bank because it was commission based.

I actually had this job and loved it. What years were you there? I worked with Vernon and Jay and of course, Juan.

Equine department at the vet school, did lots of cool stuff.

Drove the horse trailers into Nola as part of the police-escorted horse rescue operation following Katrina.

Worked the horse and research animal farms as well. Tons of heavy machinery. Had a similar problem as another poster with a herd of goats getting out and wondering into a condo complex on river road that I had to corral back one night...

Lots of fun memories

I worked at the Studen Health Center for a little over 3 years back in the early 2000s.

My ex-wife's best friend (no pics of either) was a nurse at the LSU Student Health center at that time. She was dating a student trainer for the football team and we got tickets in the LSU family section for the UGA-LSU game in 2003. WE got some really strange looks wearing red and black in there.

I don't remember her name, but if you knew a nurse there from Georgia, that was her. She was young, like early 20s at that time; it was immediately after she graduated college.

Spent more time in the large animal clinic than I did the lab. It was a blast. I wormed my way into doing a bunch of cool shite with equine and food animal.

I delivered the Reveille from 2010-2013. It was $15/hr then.

Years and years ago in landscape services.

We had access to 6-7 John Deere’s and Kubota’s that we could ride around anywhere on campus to take care of recycling needs.

A couple years in I would wear my badge and walk into the football suites, floors in the union I didn’t know existed, also that’s when Mainieri and I became pretty close.

I worked in the IT Department. That was such a fun job.

not at LSU, but i worked for the IT department at my college and it was fantastic. bunch of sarcastic nerds, and our bosses were a bunch of barely graduated sarcastic nerds that let us get away with all the goofing around we wanted as long as work was done.

i got moved into the sysadmin group after a year and my boss was a gamer who didn't come in to work till 10-11 every day and eventually i got handed the keys to the kingdom on blackboard, email, student registration, etc. because he was such a bum.

the perks to that job were infinite, especially with all the contacts i made around the university (no parking tickets, early registration for classes, hookups at the food court, scholarship office contacts)
