I got a job.

Ten dollars an hour working at the Puget Sound Regional Archives filing old marriage certificates, property evaluations, pictures, etc.

Pros - Pays well, flexible hours, I don't need to commute at all (The archive is right next to Bellevue Community College), I can listen to my iPod all day.

Cons - Potentially boring, they don't let students work more than 19 hours a week.

Was this a good choice?

In terms of pay and hours/week, your job is almost exactly like mine. Interesting.

I get 8 as a security guard. I get to read and do homework and I work (usually) in the same building I live.

I valet park on the weekends part-time at a real nice restaurant to help pay for grad school. It's easy and it's good pay as I usually come away with an hourly of $23/hr. Good Times. The only bad thing is I have no reasonable weekend hang out time since I usually work from 5 in the p to 12 in the a.

Are you kidding? You can easily be that guy who everyone is waiting for to show up at the bar/party. Definitely a plus.

Definitely. Archives are fascinating places to work. Good experience and it keeps you off the forklift.

Awesome choice dude. I was humping 75 pound boxes of paper in a freezing cold or super nukin' hot warehouse going to college back in the day. I always dreamed of a cake job like yours for school. Keep it, it's a good one.

I believe I had one of the forgotten realms RPG's on my old computer--actually my wife's old computer. We came home loaded from a bar to find a stick of RAM had arrived from UPS and I ripped open the computer, jammed it in there and was like "look how much faster this plays now!" The computer used to choke on the voices, but now when the dude said "and fucking steel," it played like a champ. She's a trooper.

Was it Baldur's Gate by any chance?

I can do RAM in my sleep. Drives are another story.

yup. My wife still makes fun of me for the "fucking steel" thing.
