The Ghost of RubangB on 17 July 2008
I was a waiter at an amazing small family-run Italian restaurant making minimum wage plus $30-$70 in tips per night (3-5 nights a week) and I was a secretary for a lawyer answering phones and alphabetizing walls of boxes of documents for $11 an hour 5 days a week for 2 hours a shift.
I quit both jobs in July 2007, traveled across Japan for most of August and blew all the money I saved up, and moved from Los Angeles to Oakland and started school up here on a full ride, but the aid on top of the free ride wasn't enough for a full year of rent. And I have me some cheeeeap rent ($485 a month in this shithole).
