Why did you not want a job????????? Job sound alright to me iv done
MUCH worse heck you should be happy to finally get a little $$$ of your
own instead of haveing to rely on some one else (I HATE RELYING ON
OTHERS). I been working since i was 13 in various jobs. Now im a apprentice truck mechanic and lovin it. I make $14/hr to start (get a $1.25 raise every year till i get my license). HECK today i was doing burnouts in a schoolbus (Actually am suposed too  ).------------- AGD 68 Automag Azodin KPII Sheridan PGP2K Tippmann Crossover XVR Tippmann ProCarbine Tippmann SL68-II Tippmann TiPX |

Well your supposed too take the bus for a test drive befor and after
serviceing. During this drive you are told to put it though its
paces. The theroy behinde it is that if somthings gona go you
want it to go under the mechanics control rather than the bus drivers
with kids. SOOOOOO yes i am alowd to do burnouts in school buses.
GMs cant spin the tires but smoke the best but the fords just roast the
tires if ya really want them too although i useually just chrip them
and go. Today i had to check for a coolant leak so i found
repaired and tested. I hjad to test it by bringing it to the
HOTTEST operating temp what better weay to achive this than a brake
stand burn out???? Dont hold it too long though your youl fry the
trans.

The hours specified at the above rate will only pull in around $300 a
MONTH. why do you want so little hours. I was in colege
pulling 30-40hrs a week withough grades suffering too much (Something
had too pay for school). I dont suggest pushing your hrs past 30 as it
can be tireing but 14hrs is kinda supper low .
I only had trouble when i took a job at the last three weeks of
colege. it was working a 12hr night shift during the week
it left me going straight from school too work the from work straight
too school. DO NOT DO THIS IT SUCKS BUG TIME.------------- AGD 68 Automag Azodin KPII Sheridan PGP2K Tippmann Crossover XVR Tippmann ProCarbine Tippmann SL68-II Tippmann TiPX |
