Woo! First paycheck ever!  
I got my paycheck for my first week of internship. $378.83 after taxes, baby! *grumble* Stupid taxes took away more than $110. Still, $378.83 for sitting around and pipetting crap! ^_^

[EDIT] My boss loves me! I do good work for her. I think she just offered to give me a day off 'cause I'm a week ahead of schedule. AND I might have TWO papers by the end of this internship instead of one. I'm liking my job more and more now.

Fermilab gave me around $5. It was a fixed $1500 for the summer, despite the amount of hours that I worked overtime. Somewhere around 60 or so total hours overtime?

At your pay, twice for overtime, I would have gotten $1470. I feel so very cheated now.

Hey, I did two summers of rat-killing for no pay. It's about time I got to do something for money.

when did you kill rats?
[identity profile] anoudegozaruna.livejournal.com on June 3rd, 2005 07:27 pm (UTC)
Summer after junior and senior year at Chicago Medical School. We were during studies concerning proteins in the brain after cocaine use. As you know, a headless rat is a dead rat.
