Im unemployeed fresh out of my first year of college. I guess I should start looking for a job, but I just end up hanging out with my friends all of the time until 3 am.

When I did work, or lack therof, I would just sleep or daydream most of the time (I didn't have access to a computer) about everything. This was working at McDonalds :( .

Edit:

I usually worked in the drivethru, the first booth that takes orders and money. I built a chair out of boxes, and made myself a little throne. I would also screw with the customers with phrases like "How can I get for you?" etc. Sucked though, making a tad more than minimum wage, got me through high school though.
 
Starting this summer here's what I'll be doing:

Note the order is just me guessing.

I'll be working at the student movie theatre so there is a bunch of downtime while the movie is showing.

Talking to coworkers
Doing homework
Posting on GAF (if there is a net connection and once I get my laptop)
Selling concessions
Swiping FSU cards
Cleaning the theatre

Also Agent Dormer will be doing the same.

1. File Medical Claims
2. Listen to Music

I don't normally listen to music much, but i'll be damned if having a CD player doesn't help with the monotony of keying medical claims.

I boss people around. And that takes up my entire day, because some of the people I boss around are imbeciles. They don't last long. I love my work.

I love my job, I just like to bitch a lot about it plus I work with girls, so I think they make it easier for me to do so, they're the best at bitching ;)
