I need a vacation

Pros:

Got a job at CompUSA as a techie, make $8.50 an hour for basically replacing ram and surfing the net.

Got a job doing construction, make $8.00/hour cash at the end of the day, working outside, and really good excercise.

Summer School's over. Barely passed Art with a C, passed Consumer Education with an A.

Got a car. V6 Maxima 5 speed.

Got a small R/C airplane, use it for when I'm bored to tears.

Got a nice welding outfit. 150amp MIG, entire setup cost a lot, but it's really nice.

Finally welded up the chassis for my barstool, so now I putt around town in it when I want to save $2.89/gallon of premium.

Cons:

The aforementioned Maxima is now running on only 5 cylinders, engine replacement is in the works. Getting 2004 crate engine/computer for 2k. 0 miles, drop in. Everything that's not included is already in my car. 43hp boost over stock engine.

73 hour workweeek = two cancelled dates, sore as hell, pissed at the world, but make good money.

Bench went down from 220 at beginning of summer to like 170-180.

I don't think I've been at home this week other than sleep and shower. Usually I eat outside the whole day, I just come home to shower, some tv and sleep. I get up earlier than my dad to go to work, then go to A+ technician certification courses after work.

I didn't go to Ozzfest with my friends as planned, eBayed my ticket, made like $20 off it.

Didn't go to a date with a girl...twice.

I finished off a case of Bawls in a single day so I wouldn't pass out from being so tired.

Ugh, I need a vacation.

You make 8 bucks a day working construction? 😕:Q

Are you a "day laborer" or something?

however, that really isn't that much for construction. by the time I was 16 I was making $14/hr and by the time I graduated HS, I was making $18/hr.
