Yuck. What do you do?
This is my usual summer job (6th year in a row)--working for a city government doing misc. tasks. Right now we're crack sealing all the streets in town, which is basically pouring 300F tar into cracks and then shoveling sand over the tar so that people can drive over it without throwing tar all over their car.
Since I've been doing it for so many years I've pretty much been promoted to a supervisory position, so I have two high school kids working for me and I'm in charge of the sanding, which consists of driving a John Deere payloader (
like this) & doing a bunch of shoveling, as well as driving the various city pickups around as necessary.
Oh, and the late-night part is Pesticide application. What that means is I drive a pickup through all streets, alleys, & backways throughout the city spraying pesticide to keep the mosquito numbers down. I had to get ND State Certification to do it, and while it can be pretty boring I rather enjoy it. You can see into everyone's houses when you go through the alleys, which can be entertaining.

Aside from that job I have my training at the PD, which I have to be at a whopping 4 days next week. Summer isn't supposed to be this busy!
