This is in Quebec, so it was fucking insane since it was during summer, the law here is that all leases for people renting homes have to be up by the first of July, so everyone is always desperately trying to move before that day. I was working 7 days/ week, about 15 hours a day, in 20 degrees celcius for two weeks, at which point I had to quit to go to summer school.
Why would they make a law like that ?

As for being a mover, I used to sometimes deliver things to customers houses under the table when I worked at Circuit City. One time I took a fridge to a lady's house and here husband came home. They started fighting over the thing. He kept saying he didnt authorize her to by a fridge. All I cared about was getting paid in cash. NO REFUNDS! :wink:

I was 16 for my first job working at a small-town confectionary store. I think the pay was about $5 bucks CDN per hour.

If trees could scream, would we be so cavalier about cutting them down? We might if they screamed all the time for no good reason.

I have no idea why they would do that, probably because they've proven time and time again that they're fucking self centered morons.

Hey, one good thing about that is that it's addiciting, and can also be a hobby.

As for me, I am about to start my second job: a telemarketer. And you guys think that I'm not evil. Ha!
