That IS a real job when you're new. Unless you're mega-famous or something. They add a day or two a year until they add up, if you're lucky. And Jackie is right. Working for the man pays off! I know...I worked at the IRS as a file clerk part-time and got a half day vacation and a half day sick every month, and I was only working half days.

working for the man may pay off. working for the olive garden, however, does not. not yet anyways. sigh.
