Some good news for a change...
I tentatively have a job for the summer.
It's with an odd company that does lawn aeration, window and pressure washing, and asphalt resealing during the summer months.
(can't exactly call them a "lawn care" company because they don't mow lawns)
They work on a day-by-day basis, and at the end of each day you can specify which day(s) you'd like to work next, so if you want or need to skip a day or two (or more), you'll still have a job when you come back.
They're also relatively new in BC, which would explain how I haven't heard of them before.
According to the information I got last night, workers can make anywhere from $100 to $500 a day for lawn aeration work, and more for window and pressure washing work.
There are also a large number of bonuses to encourage treating it more like a sport instead of a job.
(they've been doing this kind of thing for over ten years, so they know it actually works)
My first day will be on March 9th, then I'll probably need a day or two to recover before I can do another one.
(they have actually warned us that it's not for everybody, and if you're not used to it, it'll be hard work)
