    OT but I was at some party in Ballard in about 2005. I think it was just more just 5 or 6 of us at 3 am or something. I was never a pothead but I did smoke at the time. I took a hit off some really weird fucking contraption the druggies up there invented. I was on a really bad trip for about 18 hours. They may have laced it with something.I think it took about 30 until it totally wore off. I swore off weed about 9 months later and tried to grow up. Sort of.

    It was a one day job. Moving doors into a new condo complex in Seattle. It was one floor, 4th, if I remember correctly. You would be shocked on how many doors are on one floor. Took us all day, plus the fire doors were a bitch, and this was when I was in shape and young full of piss and vinegar. Sucked. Finally, to add insult to injury, there was no water on the site. The water was still "test water" and milky, not drinkable. Double sucked.

    I think I spent half the money I made that day on food after I was done.

    During an internship me and three other interns had to move individual carpet squares to the second floor in a new 90'000 square foot building one day and it was a monster. I can imagine the doors were miserable.

    Yeah, but I thank Allah for every shitty job I ever had. Builds character and all that.

    Do kids these days have shitty starter jobs? I thought I read somewhere that’s on the decline.

    Burger King closing shift, The rust colored corduroy pants were auce. Swamp ass nut huggers. Especially after hosing down the fry racks and disassembling the salad bar. Free meal every shift! I guess graduating from BKU was my first degree.

    7-11 graveyard shift. All the pop you could drink. Unlimited nachos too.

    Spent one summer measuring every street and road in Eugene OR. Also rated the road surface using a system developed at UW. CSB.

    Farmhand for my Uncle at the family farm in Kansas for a couple of summers. Let’s see... fixing fence, putting up electric fences, replacing fence posts in limestone, shoveling cow shit out of the barn, driving old pick ups, grain trucks and tractors with no air conditioning and few radio stations, cutting grass, plowing fields, herding cattle various places, bible study every morning, digging out weeds cows won’t eat like musk thistle... and zero girls to look at.

    I also did the car counting thing for the dept of transportation of WA through TRAC while at UW. Sitting around counting how many people where in vehicles to measure average occupancy and use of HOV lanes was pretty boring. Having to sit outside in the rain and cold at certain sites sucked. I was doing that when 9/11 went down.
