I work a lot, the only way I know it's summer is that my winter coat seems strangely inappropriate and my school-aged kid is underfoot all day.

How's your summer?

when I was in college, summertime = partytime. it was the only time of the year that I got to see my friends from high school, and we all worked low-key, low-responsibility 9-5 jobs/internships (plus, none of us had rent and utilities to pay).

now that I work, though, summer is about the same as spring, winter, and fall, just warmer and stickier.

if you're not affected by school being out (yourself or kids), it's just another regular season. Hell I don't even realize school is out or on holiday unless I see kids running around the block everywhere.

It's been alright. I'm actually looking forward to moving back up to school cause I'll be in a house instead of the dorms this year.

Pretty much nothing going on...working during the week (where I do nothing) and during weekends, I hang out with friends/gf. Overall its been pretty good though, had some fun weekends and I get to surf ATOT during work :)

no fun at all. I'm working 40 hours a week, running almost every day after work, and my gf is working nights and weekends so I barely get to see her. Haven't been to a single party or anything of the sort. All my friends are up north working in the Adirondacks. This summer sucks ass. The only good part is I'm making decent money.

Interesting here that the largest number of answers is "too busy work, whatever" and yet we all seem to have time to post here on ATOT :) .

I'm posting this reply from work, of course.

This summer definately has sucked A$$. Graduated with a degree in EE in May (I even co-oped and graduated with summa cum laude) and have spent all summer thus far looking for a job. Currently no girlfriend, no job, and living with parent until I can afford to move out. Thus, this summer = no fun.

40 hour weeks. Don't work weekends tho. GF puts in 40-50 hour weeks but also has weekends off. Pretty good:)

Summer has been awesome to me. Starting college at the end of September and am pretty excited about that. And on top of that I basically haven't been sober in a couple months :beer:

Pretty damn good. I've spent a couple nights a week in-training, which I'll be completely done with in a week, as well as a couple other nights doing an easy part-time job. I have a lot of free time to relax, get plenty of sleep, etc. so I really can't complain.

Work doesn't stop for me. I've got a car and other crap to pay for. At least I get 2 weeks worth of paid vacation.
