2ND ENTRY - Blonde Bosses

In the few short hours of which my livejournal started, it has occured to me that this system is actually a very useful tool. Besides ranting, I think that my live journal can be used as a base for discussions about world events, and to perpetuate my thoughts on them. Being a fan of debatable conspiracy theories, I believe all of you, and I, will

I've done some pretty evil jobs. I worked on a far last summer doing manual labour 8 hours a day in the hot sun. Then i got fired cause there wasn't enough work.
So i took a humiliating and degrading job picking blueberrys, ended up getting in a car accident, and made $100... about 1/60th of the damage to the car...

The summer before Park View Graduation, I was also on the blueberry platoon. I remember that people continously stole each others buckets, and that I came out with a measly 8 dollars (I did the job only the one day). Thess 8 dollars were actually MAILED to me, as I didn't bother to go get it, seeing as I was paying for the gas for my parents car at the time. I should also note that the owner had called my house almost 12 times trying to get a hold of me, so I could go pick up my 8 dollars.

bloody hell. I've never had a blueberry job, but I was thinking about it at one point, and tried to work out how much I'd have to pick to earn minimum wage. It came out to something like 200 kilos a day..

My memory could be defying me, but wasn't the wage 14 cents per kilogram?

i don't know, it's been blocked from my memory. But it was something horribly below minium wage, based on how many berrys one coudl pick. I've picked upwards of 80 kilos a day, too.
