child labor vs. cute
Zingoleb:
Not to mention, the heat isn't nearly as bad when you're cooking pre-dawn.
David_Dovey:
Man early mornings pretty much suck no matter what. You could be getting up to go to your job as quality control a tester in the blowjob factory and the 5am start would still be a motherfucker.
Zingoleb:
I dunno, that sort of start wouldn't be so bad. Timewise, I mean. If I'm waking up at night I am more likely to be awake.
Hey, it's 5 am and my roommate is going to work!
jhocking:
At what point does it become exploitative? Not that it makes much practical difference, I'm just wondering for the sake of argument. I agree with the sentiments that some kid helping their parents putter around the front of their shop is just fine. But what is the dividing line after which the work becomes problematic? Is it to do with hours maybe? I would suggest maybe it's when the work is done with/for the parents, but I dunno. Also, est's comparison to chores reminds me that the child labor rules have special exceptions for kids working on a farm. I don't remember what exactly the exceptions are, but labor certainly doesn't get much harder than farm work.

Been really busy. Maybe I'll post pictures of my kick-ass new apartment. Besides that, I'll probably post in a few days to ask if anyone wants to help beta-test another thing that's been keeping me really busy.

For some reason I suddenly imagined a t-shirt where the front says "My job sucks." and the back says "I work in the blowjob factory." That shirt is terrible, it's a good thing I'm not a t-shirt designer.

For further evidence, I refer you to paragraph 11 of the following article:
http://www.guardian.co.uk/science/2009/may/19/ida-fossil-missing-link
--- Quote ---Hurum chose Ida's nickname because the diminutive creature is at the equivalent stage of development as his six-year-old daughter. Hurum said Ida is very excited about her namesake. "She says, 'there are two Idas now, there's me I'm living and then there's the dead one.'"
