At $40 a day ...

They're losing money on my ass. Showed up to the GJ today at 11:00, indicted 2 assholes, and I'm home now. I stopped at the liquor store on the way home to replenish my Porto supply too. Even at my old rate of pay as a mechanic ($32.50/hr), they barely got $40 worth today.

Oh, come now. I'm sure they think any time at all spent with you is worth 40 bucks of the taxpayers' money. :-)

I tell ya, I've worked a lot harder for a lot less.

We have a couple young girls (18 -21) in the GJ and they act like they're all bored and this is a big imposition on their time, constantly sighing and rolling their eyes. One of the older guys comes up and nudges me and nods in their direction. "Whaddaya think they're gonna do when they have to work for a living?" He asks me.

"Same thing, just a lot more frequently and louder," I tell him. "This is the first job I've ever had where I can leave the house after the sun comes up. I'm thinking of volunteering for this for a month every summer."

"Me too," he says. "I'm retired and it gets me away from the wife for a couple hours a day and they pay me to do it."

Heh ...
