Default Real jobs suck (no content)

Or at least mine does.

I unload trucks for Lowe's hardware at 4am. It's a summer job. I got my paycheck for 2 weeks of work (60 hours) and after taxes it was $330.

Then I reloaded at Party and made 140 plus the 100 bonus for about 3 days of work (7 hours or so). $240.

$330/60hrs
$240/7hrs (sitting on my ass setting my own schedule)

That makes me sad. The ease of low limit poker combined with reloads has really screwed up my view of the value of a dollar.

And yes, I know that eventually $240 isn't gonna mean much either, but as a 19 year old working in the summer it's a pretty nice set-up. I hate my real job, but apparently I need actual "work experience."

And don't worry, no, I'm not gonna "drop out of school to play poker."
