- Thread starter Cycofan1
- Start date
do you mind saying who you work for ... they guy i worked for was very shady and i didn't go back the following season ... i know i was getting robbed on my wages but it was quick cash for someone who needed money but didn't want a real job ...
we would throw the tassels like a lawn dart at the asians that were working in my crew. good times!
the lawn darts part is funny ... the asians part is ... really dude? 2009? really?
not the termonology the fact that they were picking on them - you know "as a group" ... you should be all over this one richey
sucks ... you have my reguards ... does he still give you the $100 bonus if you go the whole season without misses ...
At least this means cycofan1 will be gone for a couple hours each day.... OH happy day.... oh happy day... 
did it for three summers starting when i was 13 or whatever the legal detasseling age was, pretty sure it was a year or two less than for a real job, I think I mad like 3.75 an hour the first year. the last year was the floods of 93', after that I had my drivers liscense and got sick of walking through waste deep water in every low spot in every field that year.
I still laugh when I see my income on my Social Security Statement for how little I made for how much work it was.

No chance. Pollinating is when that **** is falling out all over your body burning and stinging in the summer heat. Detasseling is while no pollen is falling, used to enjoy that part.
A friend of mine almost put my eye out doing that to me when I wasn't paying attention. Ahh, memories.
