The Slackest job I have ever had is well, the one I am at right now I work as a Summer Student in my dad’s office and well at the start there was work to be done but in the last month there is really not much more for me to do and most everyone is on vacation to give you an example here is what I did yesterday, got on here Pucked for about an hour and half, then left went to Tim Horton’s got a bagel and an Ice cap and sat listened to the Jim Rome show and played Tetris on my phone, came back around noon, pucked again then left walked down Stephen Ave, went into a book store and spent about an hour trying to decide what book I wanted than read in the store until 5 it was a blast

And as a Side not to all you students out there, I am looking for a good part time student Job for the upcoming fall semester anyone know/ have any good suggestions?

My worst job would have to be watching the computer labs at the library. Sure you have Internet access but there's only so many sites you can go to before it starts getting boring. The odd time I taught an hour course or helped someone search for something but for the most part it was just sitting there waiting for the 8 hours to pass.

The only good thing about it was the money so I ended up taking four 3 month terms for it since I couldnt find any other work here. The funders only allow four terms a person so I wont have to worry about being called again. My buddy could never understand why I thought it was so bad until he got an offer to do it. After that he completely understood.

Yeah, it would alot easier to hack had there been more hot chicks coming in or even working at the library but very rarely did I see any. There was this hot German exchange student who used to come in alot who was very nice so that term wasnt as bad as the others. For my current job I go back there sometimes to research and there's a couple hot chicks working there that I wish were around when I was working there. It would have made the time go by alot quicker.

The worst job I had was a data entry job. Absolutely boring. Think a typer monkey..

For a mere $8.00/hour with unrealistic bonuses.

Needless to say, I quit after a day and a half.

Anyways, this job is a hire-friends-only place, so there would be no getting on with my company unless you personally knew someone in here.

And internet alias such as myself don't really count as friends....

Sigh, we all can't have slack jobs, good pay, and hot girls.

Like seriously, if I found a job like that, I'd just be complacent for life. It sucks all ambition out of you and you end like like the guy in Clerks.

But man, I do wish I had a job like that

Slackest job I've ever had is the one I'm currently at: sportswriter. I'm sitting here, reading CP, watching the Red Sox, and I just wrote a 200 word story on some kid from around here that got cut by the Green Bay Packers. All for $13/hr.

Not great money, but it's definitely solid and I just goof off most nights.
