Yep, you should see me when I've had a few drinks. Logic defies me, and I always feel as though any relation between current events and history is a meticulously planned and terribly witty attempt by whomever was in control of that bit of policy/decision making. It makes for a lot of random ass references and totally useless comments. My friends get a good laugh anyways I guess...at me, of course.

I start 12 hours work days tomorrow, my summer is already shot.

My first job was at a golf course cutting lawns. Great pay (usually $2-3 above minimum), and they're always looking for people. If you golf you get the added bonus of free rounds whenever you want.

Besides that I would suggest city jobs with park maintenance and the like, again for the amazing pay and benefits. Last choice for me would be warehouses (you can tell I like outdoors work) doing inventory or just doing shipping/receiving.

Apply within the next couple of days, the university kids are already out looking for work and you need to be on the wagon even if you don't get out until June.

All the City of Ottawa jobs require a shit ton of job experience. I was kinda hoping for lawn mowing or weed whacking but it wasn't listed.

Do you think the Ontario Parks would have hired all the required staff for the summer already?

Ted, I'll be sure and send a message as soon as I'm coming. I've got a few friends from the UK who are dying to take me over there and show me around one of these summers, sadly I've got to do a little bit more working before I can blow the 5k it'll take while not taking loans for school.

One day, I'll send you a message randomly and I expect you to be on a bus to whatever bar/club/lounge I'm at lol.

EDIT- ebug, It doesn't hurt to try. I'm willing to bet they haven't, only because camping season is barely started and the high volume doesn't come until around June. Up in Ottawa I've heard the best jobs are at the embassies for students doing yard work and other small maintenance tasks. The government is always looking to hire students to help them out, one of the great things about it.

Two from London, one from Glasgow and another from Nottingham. We're thinking we'll be in London for the trip, only because I'm akin to the city.

The beds are free in London if I stay with friends, so it won't be terrible. I'm likely going to be doing quite a bit of traveling while over there. Go see my cousin in Cambridge and travel over to Ireland to say I've done so at least. Nothings in stone yet, but I know it needs to happen soon at the least.

I swear to everything, when I leave this Earth, it’s gonna be on both feet, never knees in the dirt

Told the judge didn't budge it was him or me, and I ain't trying to be hard but I'm guilty as charged, Put my mercy on this court and my faith in God, And pray hard none of my nephews wanna be stars...Lucky Me

Some said HOV, how you get so fly,I said from not being afraid to fall out the sky

I heard motherfuckers saying they made Hov, Made Hov say, "Ok so, make another Hov”

So if this is your first time hearing this, You are about to experience someone so cold, A journey seldom seen, The American dream
From the bottom to the top of the globe, They call me HOV

Give the drummer some, I already gave the summer some, It's the winter's turn, Hovie Hov is the coldest, I'm just getting better with time

I'm making short term goals, wonder whether foes, just put away the leathers and put ice on the gold, chilly with enough bail money to free a big Willy, high stakes, I got more at stake than Philly

Got the US Open, advantage jigga, serve like sampras, play fake a rappers like a campus Le Tigre, son you're too eager
you ain't having it? good, me either
