I try to stay pretty busy, so your question isn't easily answered for me. When filling out paperwork, under "Occupation", I usually put Student...but I like to think of myself as much more lol. I take full-time units at University, I work 45 hours a week at my uncle's gas station, and I also work (volunteer) 15 hours a week at the local Veteran's Service Office. At school, I study History, Political Science, and a few languages. Being Assistant Manager at my Uncle's gas station, I basically just work the register/stock shelves/keep inventory/etc., as well as being the store's Designated UT Operator (I monitor and perform maintenance on the gasoline/diesel pumps and hardware and the computer's that control them.) At the VSO, since I am technically a volunteer, I usually just hang out and try to do my homework or read or study a language. Sometimes if they have special projects for me, I like to help out. Besides that I just answer the occasional phone call, take the occasional message or chat it up with one of the old veteran guys that frequent my office lol. On top of all that, I like to call myself a Gardener and a Farmer and a Trimmer, as I trim for other people year-round and I almost always have at least a few Ganja plants around the house, whether it be indoor during winter, light-dep during spring, or outdoor/harvest in summer/fall. I can't wait to graduate so I can drop all of this crazy shit and just get one job (hopefully a good one with benefits hehe). Until then, peace out RIU hope y'all have a great day.

Dude what did you think when you saw Pineapple Express? :lol:

Were you like, 'shit thats what the camera crew was doing all that time'
When I saw Pineapple Express I said "why the hell haven't I ever heard anything about this job before?!". Then I went out and got my license :lol:

I work at local pizza joint cooking and delivering. Making minimum wage, but I've actually got a lot of chances to move up in the business, and I really enjoy it. Plus it gets me by for living on my own

I'm making my own business. It's an idea that just came to me and I can't share it with you guys and gals until I get it going! It will make a good amount of money!
 
still trading stocks and making enough to keep my head above water but it looks like its turning around a bit and I base that one the number of my speculation stocks that have risen lately which means someone is will to take a risk with someones capital and I want to be apart of that...doing that and still doing the chef thing, blah.
