Hauling hay. Might clear 15-20 bucks in a 10 hour day.

Food runner at Commanders Palace right when they opened back up after Katrina. It sucked, chef Tory was a douche and only worked one shift before I turned in my apron.

Thought that’s what you did, saw a post the other day about you examining some rank vag. Must have been in med school.

Did that once, and when they hay was stacked(and I was the guy at the top of the stick,) I decided to go back to my nice cushy construction job.

I'll play. Had a construction job when I was in college. We put together the forms for the concrete to come in later. Most of the sites were totally treeless and shadeless so I used to crawl under my truck to eat lunch laying on my back/side because my truck had no AC and it was hot as hell. We were doing a long project for a sewer plant expansion in Pasadena, TX. All day every day out the side of the process place a really dark green powder would slowly fill rail cars. Evidently it was treated and dried shite or something... Wind would blow and that stuff was everywhere, sticking to your skin, etc... Didn't smell but still it was disgusting. I've never in my life been hit by ants that stung as hard as those did at that place. Must have been something to do with that powder. Was a M I S E R A B L E and hot as hell just in Houston, TX in July and August. Decided to study a little harder after that.

Laid asphalt one summer in college. Hot, dangerous, and long hours.

I think we worked at the same place just years apart min wage was $5.15 or .25 when I worked there.
Dan Chase? I worked there 1994-1995'ish. It might have been 5.15 by then. I know it was 4.25 or 4.35 when I started working.
I'm a Central boy so I grew up out there.

Yep, it's hot, hay is heavy and scratchy, truck never stops. When you get it all unloaded, you have to unload it upstairs (at times) in the loft. Even worse when it's wet.
It's not so bad being the stacker on the truck, the poor guy tossing it up gets the worst part of it.

My first job was to pull staples out of voter registration cards after Katrina to have them scanned into a computer system.
I pulled staples every day for 8 hours a day for a full summer.

When I was 15 I had an under the table job digging trenches for a sprinkler and drainage company. Back breaking work in the heat of the summer. shite sucked, but I made good money without paying taxes
Worst job was for a 4x4 shop in BR. Owner was a complete a-hole. I lasted a week and half before telling him off and walking out. Mf'er even had a non-compete for working at other 4x4 shops. Such a douche

When I was 13 I worked at Dan Chase Taxidermy supply making molds. That polyurethane was hot and if you put too much in the mold it would stream out. Summer job. The summer of 1982.

We had several explosions during my 2 years or so.
When I was there you had to start off rasping (sp) for a few months before Jeff would trust you to make the molds

Grew up on a dairy farm. Cows had to be milked whether it was 100 degrees or 10 degrees. Also, had to milk every holiday. Summer hayfield time was the worst. We'd get up at 5 and milk. Finish around 8 and go hook up equipment. Head off to the hayfield from around 9:30-3:30. Milk sgain from 4-6, and sometimes head back to the hayfield from 6-9. Long hot days. I couldn't wait for football two-a-days in August to get away from that shite. Being in the heat on that hot arse tractor all day had me used to the heat though.

I only worked there that one summer before high school. I did a lot of yard work around there and Mr. Dan would have take his Town Car to get gas for the mower. I guess they decided to start training on mold making which is good. Sprayed a good bit of polyurethane and that stuff burned. Lol

Changed tires at a truck shop the summer of the Firestone recall. Most of the trucks were dualies.
Worked outdoors loading trucks with bags of mulch and rock at Lowe’s in the summer. I never counted but could have sworn that I loaded 500 bags several weekends.

It was a lot better during the winter because it didn't expand near as fast. You had to be quick with the C clamps when it was 97 degrees outside. I ruined so many pairs of jeans and boots at that job
