Crap. It's never too early to be sexy.

I work for a logistics and distribution facility. Or a warehouse, if you will.
They say, "the tree of liberty must be watered with the blood of tyrants and patriots." I suppose it never occurred to them that they are the tyrants, not the patriots.

Taxes.

Hopefully but not yet because I'm still in high school. And, yes, I get paid. In gold, silver, and bronze.

I design helicopter components, semi-official computer help desk (like show secretaries how to use word and how to reboot their computer if something crashes, which is evidently hard to do), and part-time web surfer when I'm twiddling my thumbs.

I fix bikes and call customers liars when they fuck their bikes up and say "I was just riding along...". I also do some computer stuff for various people I've met through the bike shop I work at.

Sounds like fun for a 2LT.

Accounting major at UGA during fall and spring. Pool and spa maintenance during summer. Pays pretty good for a summer job, OK hours, but the work is tedious and it's fucking hot. On the other hand, I have a nice tan, and no one can ever throw the guilt trip about not knowing what it's like to do manual labor at me. I finish on Friday and don't think I'll be returning to the work force for quite some time.

Well I hate to break it to you, but I pay tax, both out of my NewStart (aka Dole) payments and from my payments from my work. So, sorry, thats not a cure for Communism.
