Re: Off Topic 2015

Worked at JCPenney for a little over 4 years while in school. Hated working in retail, hated a few of my supervisors and co-workers, but met some cool people and it was really easy work.

Fellas... Shark week starts on Sunday night!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Shoot, shark summer already started a while ago. Been an unusual number of attacks and sightings along the east coast. A handful of attacks already off of North Carolina. Along Maryland they spotted and pulled in a great white they had tagged before. 16' 3500+ lbs and it was swimming in the Ocean City bay and up and down the shore. Just last week a hammerhead washed up and died, and apparently had just had pups. Then a few days later, they had to clear the beach because a big hammerhead was swimming real close along the shore.

Re: Off Topic 2015

What did you guys all do for jobs when you were in college? I'm looking for ideas. I can't do Target anymore. It's making me want to die. (Hyperbole, kinda)

I did a couple summer internships that paid pretty well, and one of them ended up actually keeping me on part-time during the school year. Before that, I worked for the University - we had a program where basically you could help teach math classes in local area middle schools, and I was math-ed at the time, so I did that.

A lot of my friends did the whole bank teller thing. It's decent money and gives you a bit more of a "professional" experience than Target would. Sometimes they even offer tuition reimbursement if you work more than x hours a week.

I saw that Hammerhead washed up in OC... crazy. I didn't think Hammerheads were around like that but it has been an usual summer.

When I go down, I think I may just stick to the bars... lol

Y'all saw where two kids for their arms bitten off within an hour and a half of each other on the same beach. That would scar me for life as an observer.

Yep, that's a couple of the attacks I was talking about in North Carolina. They've had at least two or three more in these past few weeks.

I'll be in Ocean City the first week of August, and my girlfriend already said she's staying out of the water lol. I'll probably get in a bit, but I'm just as content to chill on the beach with a drink in my hand.

I know whenever I'm in the ocean that sharks are around and you just don't see them, but it's crazy how visible and prominent they've been so far this year.

I think it was two years ago that I was on the beach in OC and they cleared the water because there was a big shark swimming close along the shore with it's fin out of the water. It was crazy, and crowds of people were walking down the beach following it. Something like that would almost seem like the norm this summer.

Re: Off Topic 2015

Yeah, and they're getting people in shallow, waist deep water too.

Personally, never liked going too far out in the ocean anyway. Beaches around here suck these days anyway, waves crash right on the beach. Remember growing up you could swim out forever, hit a sandbar, and then catch some good waves beyond that. Unless nostalgia is getting the best of me.

They thought those two attacks were the same shark, too. That's nuts.

Delivered pizzas. I had 4 jobs in college and that was the best one. Cash every night you work on top of your check. Could study and do homework during your shift. Can run errands while working. Not a bad way to meet chics. And you're never stuck in a building during sun dress season. Just find a character building car and a nice neighborhood.

I had a job working for the university as part of a program with local schools. I also had job as a delivery driver for a chicken wing joint for a little bit.

I worked at a local furniture store as a store attendant before transferring back to the warehouse to put furniture together full-time.

Re: Off Topic 2015

I worked 40 hours a week (from 4:30 pm to 3:00 am Monday-Thursday) at a VF Distribution Center. I started out loading trucks for 5.50/hr and eventually worked my way into a production job where I could make as much as 18 and hour, but averaged closer to 12-13. I tried to only take 8:00 am classes on Monday and Wednesday that way I really only had one tough day a week. On Tuesday and Thursday I would only take classes that started after 11:00.

I worked in the library at school. Part-time during the school year, full-time in the summer.

Looks like I may be throwing together a little last minute 4th of July cook out, so this should be interesting.

Was at Corolla Beach NC back in '04 and one morning my sister and I paddled out several hundred yards on body boards trying to reach a sandbar that turned out to be a lot farther out than we thought so we turned back without ever getting close to it. A few hours later I was on the beach with my mom and a lifeguard came by and told us a girl had been bitten by a shark not far from where we were.

I remember when I was like 10, my family went on vacation in Florida for the first time. My dad was petrified of a shark attack. My mom had lived in Florida for like 20 years and said she had never once seen a shark.

Needless to say my dad saw a fin in the water and freaked out. Told a lifeguard, and the lifeguard confirmed it was a shark lol.

No attack or anything but my mom was so pissed.

Not sure exactly when this was, but it was that year that they got hit by Hurricane Francis and two others. We arrived in Florida right after the first hurricane, had Francis hit while we were there. Drove up to Disney World and had the whole park to ourselves. And then we flew back home the day before the third hurricane. Crazy trip lol
