Rather freighting that I’d have to work 138hrs/mo at minimum wage, *JUST* to afford rent. This doesn’t take into account other requirements such as utilities, car payments and gas (or public transportation fees) and food. Think about it… $7.25 * 138 = $1,000.50. If you only work your 40 hrs/wk for an average of 4 weeks a month, you only get 160hrs in a month, the differences only adds $160 to your monthly paycheck.

So how exactly are people supposed to live like this?

This is about how I feel about this Java project. An extra two days to work on it after not having power for a week is just not enough! Where is my Flux Capacitor? I need to go back in time two weeks and go where Sandy didn’t hit.

WHAT IS YOUR EARLIEST HUMAN MEMORY?

Living at my grandmothers, I had this red trike. I remember taking it apart in the living room of her house and getting grease all over the floor. Boy was she (and my Mom) mad! Luckily they were able to clean it all up, and it didn’t leave a stain. After that, I remember spending a lot of time in a very dark room in the back corner of the house, I think it was the bedroom I shared with my mother. I remember listening to the sound of a lot of running water from the other side of the wall, which was the main bathroom for the house.
