My best friends parents are Florists, and they are always focusing all their time on their job. Well, they have this huge house, that they haven't taking care of in years. Well, two days ago my friends parents call me up asking if I'll do some yard work for them. I go over there, and their yard looks like it was hit by a tornado. I have been working for the past two days, cleaning up their yard. Well, her father comes up to me a complements me on how good my work has been. Then, he asks me if I want to work at his house during the summer fixing their yard. Then he tells me he'd pay be 8 bucks an hour. Well, I said sure, and he payed me 96 bucks for two days of work! I couldn;t believe it. Maybe I won't have to get a "real" job now :)

I remember when I had like an outdoors summer job, it was fun and a great work out. Unfortunately I'm pretty susceptible (sp) to hayfever so mowing the lawn which I did most the time was a nightmare but the money was good, under the table tax free and I got a bitchin' tan every summer.

I'm gonna save it up, then "maybe" buy a new car (I'll sell my old one) or build a new computer :)

speaking of summer jobs...
last year i worked as translator at $40 bucks an hour. easiest high paying job i had. however...i got fired shortly after i started working.

my friends say that the only way i could have made so much money was if i man-whored myself. reminds me of that duece bigalo movie where the guy says..."Ive been getting $10 recently"

this summer Im doing web development at $1500 a package. i could probly manwhore a day and make more money than that.
