Plenty of places you can get a job like that. Just gotta be willing to relocate to where the jobs are. In comparison to a lot of work you can get in the oilsands out in Alberta, I'm being paid chump change.Originally Posted by Spose'

You do. Although since it's under the table, you'd probably be better off not doing so.
Unless you really hate your boss. Which you might start doing long-term. Under the table pay typically tends to benefit the employer far more than the employee, unless you're trying to game the system (draw unemployment/worker's comp/etc).
But you're a minor and probably have none of that stuff going on.
There's basically nothing in this for you.
Amazingly. 3 day weekends are the best. Especially when they don't get in the way of pulling a 40 hour work week.
Also, t-minus 2 weeks before Prude moves back.
Gonna get me some.
Yeah, but your baby mama gets half.Two days, here.
Stop selling yourself short or settling for terrible jobs and you might have things work out better.

Just be prepared to have loads of guns and/or knives shoved in your face.
And when you're done being robbed, expect to pay double for basic necessities since the oil companies own everything. It's like living in some sort of dystopian future.
OIL SANDS!

If you work it out, she gets a little over one day's worth of work per month.Yeah, but your baby mama gets half.
Not really all that bad. It would have been worse if I had married her.

Wisdom of the ones before, when shit was as simple as completing a honest day of work and expect actual compensation.
Well, too bad I or my future ones will never know.

I WONDER WHERE ALL THESE BAD EGGS ARE COMING FROM

Got divorced 16 years ago. Had 2 kids, one was 5, the other was 9 months. Never paid a dime in child support, and actually RECEIVED support for about 5 years
Tea. Cheap coffee. TV.
I applied to tons of jobs, never heard back from most. This is the only one that called me and I just wanted to work so I can earn some money to save up for a while. I would like to get a better job, but this is a 3 month gig, so I might as well ride it out for a while. Maybe get a few of the more reliable place in the mall to become familiar with my face and get a better one that is legitimate. I would like a better paying job though, and one that is far less boring.You do. Although since it's under the table, you'd probably be better off not doing so.

It's ridiculous to think about now, but at the time that was pretty normal.
Around here, anyway.

Cutting off my ring finger.
If anyone asks, I've joined the assassins.
At one point they had a sign declaring as much.
The bad eggs are a combination of the people from here and the people from there that have a great ability of spreading their bullshit behaviour on idiots.
Most of the shoplifters I catch are tradespeople who moved out west, blew their absurdly high paycheques on drugs, then came home with no money left to support their crippling habit or living expenses during the "down time" between shifts.
Surprise surprise, they start stealing.
Provided they don't OD and die. Some idiot tried to split like about a kilo of coke with his girlfriend a few weeks back.
They made it about halfway through before the heart attacks hit.
