My B-side

Hi...I'm in the landscaping business??

Yeah, life...well it sucks. This summer was to be a summer of cash. I hated working during the schoolyear, so I promised myself that I'd save up this summer and stay out of the job madness this fall. I had a sure-bet job set up via my Dad at Country Mark. I would roll out of bed at 6, be at the office at 7:45, and then file my life away til 4. Unfortunately, the office was all full so they bumped me to the next job. I got word today with details and all. Apparently, I will be weed eating for the next 4 months. SCORE. It's pretty demeaning if you ask me. And CRAZY, I've never even touched a weed-eater. I just pray I get bumped up to the riding lawnmower position. Anyway, I call my dad who is STILL hanging out in Cali. And I'm all like: WHAT THE H!? Do they not realize I'm female? He simply reminds me that my hourly wage will be the same hefty amount as it was with the office job. So, I really can't turn it down. No job at the mall or even waitressing could compare. I'm going to have to grin and bear it. My partners in crime, Kyle Rutledge and Joe Lee...that's not awkward or anything. There is a brightside, I'll be black by the end of the summer.
