Cook at a high end banquet hall / golfcourse. we do weddings and shit like that. $9/h now, I just got a raise today (the sweet part about the raise is that its a raise but with backpay for the last 5 week. fuckin awesome.) and with that raise comes the responsibility of doing the Weekly Invintory. Aramark sucks. Im not even alowed to buy a drink after my shift... fucking american policies. But the work is good and keeps me busy in what would otherwise be a mind numbingly boring summer. Hooray for saving for post grad education...

FUCK ARAMARK.
I'm a cook, been so for a year. 8$ an hour is a bit low, but it's a chill environnement and I'm getting 9$ in a month. The food is free, and home-brewed beer 50% off. So I'm staying there.

I'm a linguist. My work is kind of on and off but I've just been offered a good deal to translate an American movie script into French. The film didn't garner much interest in the U.S. but some people in France are interested in a French adaptation.
