no more work

Today marked my last day of full time employment for the company Shasta.com. This is way cool for the fact that I don't have to wake up early until school starts, but sucks because that is my last paycheck for the summer. Oh well.
Notice, however, I did say full time employment. Everyone I talked to (All three of my bosses) want me to do part time work when I go to Chico. I am stoked about that, not only as a fun job that I can actually get in to, but also for the part time paychecks :)
But anyway, I was freaked out today, because one of my bosses (George, the general manager) wanted to have an "exit meeting" or whatever before I left so he could figure out all that I did this summer and how I documented everything and all. I was nervous, because he is not a programmer by any means and couldn't realy appreciate everything I had done. Well, I went in and talked to him, and it turned out to be a huge motivational speech about life, the universe and everything. He told me all about how to be a successful businessman and salesman and everything; we wound up talking for the better part of a half hour. He gave my my final paycheck (all four days worth) and direct deposit reciept (all 2 weeks worth :) and shook my hand. And that was it. Out the door I went. I gathered my things and said my goodbyes, and here I sit, unemployed, waiting 6 more days for college to start.
I just wanted to say that working for Shasta.com was a really good experience. I learned alot about not only computers, but the business world and all that good stuff. Anyway, that was the better part of my day, so now I am going to go out and party the night away because... I DON'T HAVE TO WAKE UP AT 7 TOMORROW!!!
