there was a substantial oil spill on the other side of the island I grew up on in alaska, so freshman year of nyu summer break I'm back there as a environmental technician for the D.E.C. lol. talk about comedy. I basically did nothing all day except maybe check the inventory at the command center and got paid excellent pay the whole time(plus hazard pay whenever I flew
). Around two or three times during the week I'd ride with the scientists in the sick new helicopters across the island to the site and just chill the fuck out in my survival suit, and I would smoke a fat blunt before every trip man, I'd usually just zone out fuckin with the tidepools n bald eagles and then usually pass out with the chopper pilot who was my homie. he was getting something like $500 an hour and he just slept all day cept for the little bit of flying. flying across untouched wilderness high as a kite in a chopper riding shotgun is one of the coolest experiences man, i took some wild pictures. and the whole time i'm getting paid by the government haha. that's the best part, the government paying me extremely well to be high as shit and ride in helicopters. fuck i woulda paid THEM to do that. haha. sometimes you get lucky.
