im a custodian for Boston University, i sleep in the closet and check out hot chicks all day long
since iv been a working class hero, iv always been in the auto mechanics industry, but since i found this union job with all the best benefits i could ever want i had to take it. they give me a very generous amount of money too, not mention the money i make on OT. and LOTS of vacation days, and a slew of paid holidays too.
soon ill be in the maintenance department, just waiting for the position to open. although i think id rather be a grounds worker.
its tough not going to collage, at-least with this job when my son grows up he only would have to pay 10% tuition.
