Summer jobs….
Remember when this time of year meant it was ‘time to start looking for work’? Ahhh, the summer job….what did you do as a student?
I did landscaping at a golf course in Burlington for 2 of the years I was in college…..I also cleaned houses….guilty confession…I cleaned a woman’s toilet with her toothbrush….once. She was such an uppity snippy Beeotch to myself and the ladies I worked with. Be nice to the hired help;)
How about an ‘Awesome Summer Job’? I’m compiling a list for tomorrow’s tv show. The Jack Nation Countdown runs Saturday afternoon at 4pm. How about ‘beer taste tester’? ‘Ice cream quality control’? What would your ‘awesome summer job’ be?
*Traveling motorcycle tv show? ( I know a girl…nudge;)
*Bikini Inspector
*Roller Coaster tester
*Personal Shopper
*Bee Keeper (seriously, someone, somewhere wants to do this)
What would you choose to do, given carte blanche?
Use ’summerjob’ for some extra points:)
Thanks for stopping by,
Sam
……..if you missed the countdown this weekend the bonus code was rollercoaster. The bonus code for the tv version was priest. The Metal Masters tour is coming to the Ampitheatre August 13th….on the bill, Judas Priest, Motorhead, Testament and Heaven and Hell. The priest bonus code is worth points, but, also is an entry for tix to see that show….AND….soon, we’ll have tix for the Jack presents of ‘Cruefest’….Motley Crue, Papa Roach, Buckcherry, Trapt and Sixx AM are all on the bill. That will be a wicked day. The date of that show is August 28th.
I hope you had a terrific weekend. Two second Tuesdays are back this week…..wait till you hear who you can see and where….it’s the best one so far……

Bikini inspector sounds like a job I’d like, but with my luck, it would be inspecting the swimsuits itself rather than the swimsuit on a lovely female or ten. LOL
I really love baseball, and I think it would be fun just to throw batting practice to the hitters and shag some flies in the outfield. Heck, maybe coaching a bunch of cute girls playing softball/baseball would be nice too. I’d make sure they’d wear a different kind of uniform like tank tops and really short shorts so they can show off their legs.

Hey Sam,
Luv your Friday ‘bingo’! It forces me to give you my UNDIVIDED attention when listening to the radio!
Thx.

I think the best summer job would have been the quality control guy at Laura Secord chocolate factory.
punishing - but someone needs to do it.

Hey Sam
I had a great idea when they passed the topless law but my wife didn’t think much of it.
I was thinking of opening up a kiosk down on the waterfront selling custom “pasties” (no not pastries)
My slogan was going to be “You Lick em, I Stick em”
What a hoot (no pun intended)
I just thought it would be the perfect summer job, if I lived thru’ it.
Loved your revenge with a toothbrush. Classic. That would be a great subject for a later blog. I have a few of my own.
Take care Sweetheart

Hi Sam! I don’t really need a summer job because I’m very busy working as a lingerie model. Just thought I’d say hello and mention that beekeepers are the sexiest men in the world.

Roaming wet T-Shirt contest judge, I can cover a different party every night, well, better give me 1 night off to recuperate. Yes, bribes are accepted. Although I admit Sandra’s idea sounds nice, but can we make it Hugh Hefners house?

My favourite summer job was when I was 15, at a place called “Cheesetown”, that sold, you guessed it, lumber, no just kidding, cheese, every kind you could imagine. It’s because of that job, that I’m addicted to cheese today. As part of the job, we had to try all of the cheeses so that we could tell customers how it tasted. At 15 years old, I hated to try new things, but I sucked it up and tried all of the cheese, even the stinkiest, mushiest, mouldy-looking, gross-looking cheeses and found that I liked many of them. I’m trying to pass along my cheese obsession to my two kids - not having much success!!

Hey SANDRA,
I agree with you but I don’t think my hubby would like it (unless he could come.)
One dream job that I have read about that is a real job, is going to different hotels and staying in the best rooms to see how great the rooms, comfort, service, food, etc…. are in the hotels. Can you believe people actually get paid to do this? Wow, who wouldn’t like to travel all around the world doing this, ME!!!! ME!!!! Same goes with restaurants, people go to all different ones and all the bills are paid for by the company that hires you (just like the hotel one.)
One job I DID love was being a C.I.T. (Counselor in Training) at Kamp Kanawana in St. Sauveur (up north near Mont Tremblant, Quebec) as I went to Kamp there for years and loved it even though I was always homesick. Kids always thought that parents just wanted to get rid of them, but it really teaches you how to fend for yourself at a young age (and I’m sure the parents liked being alone for a month or however long you chose to go.)
Thanks Sam and have a great weekend,
April

I think the best job for me would be to watch Bambi doing her lingerie modelling. Too bad I’m not a beekeeper. LOL

I think Kim has the right idea, travelling, trying out hotel rooms and restaurants for free, what a great job! Also Travelling Motorcycle TV Show would be pretty cool, I’ll be your assistant Sam!
I had a cool summer job, I bartended on a charter boat in Toronto. The boat held 50 people, companies would rent it and we would tour around the Toronto harbour, Toronto island, feed them dinner and drinks and if you hit any rough water, it was fun to see who was getting sick and who didn’t! Good times….

Thanks for the week-end codes Sam. Your points are a lot easier to get than Jeff C’s.
My favorite summer job was with the York Board of Education, I had to water school football fields. You set the sprinkler and forget it for a couple of hours. I had a better tan that summer than most lifeguards.

Hey Sam,
3 years ago I was living Montreal during the summer and due to my lack of French speaking I was pretty limited for work. Luckily I came across a posting for a video game testing position. I applied and got the job. long story short, it was a great summer of drinking beer, eating poutine and smoked meat and playing video games.

Years ago a friend of mine (really) had a summer job of “sexing” chicks in a factory. WAIT-before all you guys get hot and bothered, this refers to literally birds, you know, those things with beaks and wings! I once asked her, how do you do that? She just smiled. Years later, having lost touch, I heard my friend had become a clinical psychologist. Way to go Leslie
