Thanks. I like taking pics just take em.of everything I do lol. Ya I a quick learning very hard worker now if I could just find a job that will start me out at like 12$ an hour id quit my job. But at the same time fucking piss tests. So with construction n shit do u only get tested if u fuck something up. Because I dont want to stop smoking unless I have to

yeah,double pay and work days are twice as easy.....Luckily I'm in w/ a guy who does prevwage w/ no drug tests.We built 4 schools this summer
Yeah, we were all underpaid so more like quadruple pay for us. Twice as easy on work is bout right tho ;) I loved those school jobs. Damn, I need to come work with you bro. :) Go from making 5-600/wk to around 2k/wk......wooohooo, party on joe this weekend ;) I think the most I topped out @ was around $48/hr

ahhh, the good ol daze, company truck, gas card. Just get the job done and go home. Being self employed now the jobs never done. There is no clocking out.....course there is no clocking in either tho ;)

best i ever did was art director. thankless job. lotta false deadlines. great co workers. the best drugs and i took long vacas in summer when clients are typically away. our agency was in a high rise across from a hotel. every year during the army navy game weekend we would all gather in the presidents office and watch the cadets carry on across the street in their rooms because they never closed the blinds. that was fun. the job was never about the money. none of my jobs ever were. i only ever did exactly what i wanted.

After working for the man for half my life I started my own business in pressure washing and wood restoration, mostly houses and decks. start my third year this spring and have 16k booked. the work lasts about 8 months out of the year so I grow and plow in the winter. I try to book all my work at $125.00 an hour but last year i averaged $100.00
