Do you have a job?

[slayer]

So this is a simple discussion thread, if you have a job talking about it. Talk about what you do, how your co-workers act. Even talking about how your boss is a dick is fair game.

Guess I'll start with myself, I'm currently working during the summer at an animation studio, I'm in charge of the marketing and promotion.

[Fornicaras]

I just barely turned 16, so I've been filling out applications like crazy.
Right now I'm hoping I work at subway, but My deam job is to work at this skateshop a few blocks away from where I live :)

[slayer]

Nice well good luck with your applications. I'm really hoping that one day I can open up a local comic shop or something. I really want to be like the cool shop owner type.

[bleachygo]

loll i work at an IGA as a rapper, and my boss IS a dick we hates me for no god dam reason.
But thats just for now:P

[slayer]

I'm glad my boss looks at me like a son or something. I really think that most bosses are dicks because they like to put pressure on the new guys and stuff.

[Sympathy]

I just went to my first interview yesterday and got the job.
I'm going to be a cashier at H-E-B...it's nothing amazing ($8/hr) but it's my first job so I'm not gonna complain.
I met my boss during the interview and he seemed like a nice guy.

[slayer]

Dude the chicks that work at my H.E.B are so hot, plus like 50% of them are redheads so better for me. Well first jobs tend to be a little tedious but then you'll start to step up your game and get better jobs.

[UrsaMajour]

I work for Nielsen, the people who bring you the TV ratings.

[HanakoAbarai]

I have just finished my uni access course, so before I can join the magnificent institution, I have to find myself a job for summer. I definitely don't feel like it, after a great year of just studying I have to go back to some crappy job. The best job I had so far was in a call centre, also did things like KPing, strawberries, bakery, etc. I just need to survive for two damned months...

[Birdyjames]

Im 15 so no! :amused: I dont know what i want to do thought i have some ideas.

[absoluteskill]

so weird you say that because i made that comment to my friend the other day at HEB...and hot redheads ftw

i have a job doing land surveying. its pretty good, i usually make a little under a grand every 2 weeks, but im like the lowest paid person at the company cuz im still an intern. but once i graduate in august ill get a big raise. its a cool job its pretty much a job for people who change their mind, like if i want to be in the office i work in the office and if i want to work out in the field i do so its just whatever you want to do.

[He's a Mentalist]

I'm a student. That is my job.

[Fornicaras]

I got an interview tuesday at Bill Millers (Bar-B-Q Franchise, may just be local, not too sure).

Starting pay is 8.50 an hour for a busboy, so I'm pretty stoked.

[Belial]

Civilian wise my usual job was carpentry. Since I took my money under the table (20/hr if you're curious, no taxes obv) I have no documented experience and with the housing market crash I'm pretty much relegated to piss poor regular shit jobs.

Army natl guard I'm a combat engineer, deal with mine warfare, mobility and counter-mobility operations, standard infantry warfare such as clearing houses, and demolitions.

A deployment to a combat zone would net me about 4 grand a month tax free right now.

[FullMetalIdiot]

I work as a Looney Tunes Character at Six Flags. It's an epic job, seriously. Drama sometimes, but I just read a book when it's going on. Guests are either hilarious or sort of scary and just, yaaaaaaaay~

8.50 an hour ain't bad for a 16 year old having fun every night either. 8D

Have you killed anyone? The thought of killing someone is beyond me.

And, I'm a college student, sadly.

[darkerealm]

lol I babysit occasionally.
It has its perks but sometimes I just want to tear my hair out when the kid starts to cry. =.=

[lovecherry]

I worked at a call centre, drove me so insane. People can be bitches.

And then I had a temporary job as a retail cosmetics consultant.

Now I'm trying to choose between getting some decent qualifications in make up and beauty so I can work somewhere nicer as a retail cosmetics consultant. Or stick with my original qualifications in business and customer contact and do some admin type thing.

But I'm a full time student at uni and for the most part, I really don't want to be working right now. And if I did, I want to work somewhere I enjoy.

[Mithrandir]

I work at a newspaper and radio station as part of my studies. (So it isn't payed)

Though I also work part-time at a national newspaper, which is good money. (Seeing as I don't do much... :amused:)

[NAM1011]

I work in the AR dept. of a transportation company. I am a collector. Work sucks donkey cock.

[Belial]

Naw haven't had to kill anybody yet, although there has been a few times it'd be in my right to. I'm pretty good at discerning stupidity from hostile intent it seems.

[Sympathy]

Well, it's not about killing people but, I just finished 16 hours worth of job training in 3 days. @_@

I think I start Tuesday and I'm a little nervous.

[FullMetalIdiot]

Porky usually, but I think I know who was Tweety that day. ;]

[frack]

I work at a Kroger grocery store, in the frozen foods section. It pays well for a grocery store and it's a full-time thing. It's only for the summer, as I leave for school in Mid-August. All the managers are cool and the work is pretty easy. And one of our managers lets us drink Shotguns. Hell yes.

[herogerik]

i'm a dental lab tech assistant. the difference between a dental assistant and what i am is that i'm not actually in the dentist's office. i work at a dental lab where we make the stuff that dentists use in their work like dentures, custom mouth guards, molds, retainers, etc. it's pretty good pay to cuz we rn't salaried or paid by the hour, its by how many "jobs" we do which can earn us any where from $15-$450 a job depending on what work we have to do on it. also we get about 10-12 "jobs" per day so its pretty rewarding. lol, my boss though is romanian so i can't understand one word of his english, but he buys me stuff for whenever i finish my "jobs" ahead of scheldule, so i just smile and nod :)

[Kiyuu]

wall-mart sux, even though the workers there act like a family they are all fake.
they talk sht behind others back.

[Flowing Ice]

I'm a cashier at a Convenience store. it sucks..but, making money is nice, when it comes down to it. Nothing much to say about such a place, so i should probably stop....

Except i wanna say that..Cashiers should get more respect..get blamed for everything that goes wrong for a customer.

[herogerik]

Except i wanna say that..Cashiers should get more respect..get blamed for everything that goes wrong for a customer.

lol, i know what u mean. i used to work at a Publix and man! they say, "just blame the cashier". it really drives u crazy.

[Lemon]

I used to work at a daycare :oh: even though i never liked the place, i did like the kids though...
miss them :worried:

[Inazagi]

Yet your age states your 17. Mistake, somewhere..?

[zephyr1021]

ugh I make food and pick up after rich snobs in a restraunt, although some of the snobs tip very well they can get annoying and my boss knows just how to be the perfect dick actually making my job harder sometimes.

[AizenvsUrahara]

[vitopimpin]

MCAV ya this used to be a firends account but he lost interst after he had it for a bit so i sed ill take cuz i was to lazy to make one and no sence in keeping a non active acount

My boss is a total cheap scape though i haven't had a raise in like a year and a half but what i dont get in money i get in free food!!! I like the people i work with except for my trainees they are boarder line retarded and i get yelled at on the daily for there mistakes but other than them i love my job

[Mushiro]

I just finished school for Registered Nursing in December. I start my job working at one of our hospitals here in Buffalo in the beginning of February. I'll be working on the Post Operative Bariatric/Post op Cervical Spinal Surgery floor as a Graduate Nurse until I take my boards. Kind of nervous about it all really.

[Akiia]

A retail salesman whilst i'm at university at Jbhifi selling whatever I feel like..Nice commission rate there though usually make an extra hundred to two hundred a week..Over the holidays that usually spikes to around six hundred.

LOL! I like your lifestyle!! Currently I am still a student but I will teach tuition class during night time.. A stupid teacher that introduce his student to watch anime.. =.=" .. Will your teacher do as what I did to my students ? Hahaha..

[(SIC)NESS]

i am an industrial electrician or what ever you call it and i'm a student to

it's fun only when you get shocked you feel kinda bad

[MissTaken]

I have no job. Being a student is aggravating enough.

[achingflower]

I'm a full-time student and work full-time for a customer service call center for AT&T. It's easy money, just bought a car (yay!). Only thing that suck about it is troubleshooting iPhones and Blackberry's. And getting cussed out but that part is fun lol.

[Aftershock]

Full time working as SysAdmin in a middle big Company for Tea, Coffee, Sweats, Food and NonFood things.

[drunkskunk]

Bill Millers and HEB! lot of Texans postin here...LVN workin on my RN, good money cant complain. Even though u have to do shit you wouldn't dream of. Wound care...all i have to say about that.

[Whiteout]

With the economy the way it is jobs are nil in my area. However I did get lucky and work under the table for this elderly lady suffering with chemo. I get 25$ each time. However, she never lets me "help" or "clean" by myself. Last time I got paid. I wiped off 2 ceiling fans, moved a chair from down stairs to upstairs, and ran the vaccume in 1 room that she asked. That was it. I'm not complaining, but I feel bad that she won't let me do more for her to earn the money.

[Luna]

Currently, no. I don't work during the school year. I would work at my dad's company on breaks like I've done before, unless I'm taking a 2-3 week class. But they went on a hiring freeze, so no temps. I'm heading to my second speed interview/networking event over my spring break in March. Hoping to find a summer internship. Otherwise, I might end up umpiring again. At least it pays well.

[Maszrum]

I am spending most of my time on my university so it would be extremely difficult for me to work. My parents have nothing against and are allowing me on that. And on living with them. But I am always trying to work during summer vacations.

[redfable]

nope i dont

[Sawyer]

I'm currently working at a photography studio as, well, a photographer. :tongue: My boss is nuts, but he's really cool, laidback, and funny. The studio is relatively new, but he's well known so it's not that bad, we just haven't had too many customers lately. I really like it... you get to meet all kinds of people and interacting with them is always an interesting and different experience.

[Fornicaras]

I just got hired today at Sonic. woot, go me.

[Marrow Rivengristel]

Yeah I have a job and yeah working sucks my advice to all you kids too young to work is DON"T DO IT!

[Sympathy]

Well I've been working at H-E-B since June. I only work 4 and 1/2 hours a week now due to school. It's basically a waste of time. I'm going to quit as soon as I get accepted to a college. So by April 1st.

[Korbenik]

Currently working at whitespot (Mon-Wed) and a company called purolator (Thur-Sun) full week of work cause im not in college yet, maybe ill go in the fall lol.

HEB. Bagger.... It is a bit depressing, you always feel like they don't really need you. =(

[Luna]

HEB. Bagger.... It is a bit depressing, you always feel like they don't really need you. =(

I think a lot of people are getting that impression these days... this thread is bordering on pointless right now.

[Sympathy]

They've made me bag at H-E-B for awhile (and I'm a cashier). I hate bagging. The work is tedious and time passes so slowly it's irritating. Good thing I only work once a week.

[airyie]

^thats true. I'm lucky only to work weekends or throughout holidays, but still... Sometimes I think the only way to pass the time is to constantly be doing something to try and force yourself to forget their is a clock.

When you forget the clock exists time begins to pass faster.

[Spidy56]

Ooo, which Whitespot? I was a sous-chef for them out here in the Okanagan for awhile. Quit though cause it was the shittiest job i've ever had, and my bosses didn't know their arse from a hole in the ground. Currently working at a hotel, doing graveyard shifts though I am a chef by trade.

I work as a manager at a local JoAnn Fabrics.... the people aren't too bad, except the district manager is a total bitch, and only keeps her job by bullshitting her way through each and every day. I also work part-time helping manage a pizza place.
The fabric store job is nice ----> discounts on fabric for Bleach cosplay.

[kiwigrl89]

[Gerra]

I'm working as a shipping coordinator in a Japanese company..my colleagues are very helpful and friendly, but this job is rather stressful..

Tell me if that works out for you.

[m2mmus]

I work as a personal trainer at a gym close to me full time. It's fun but time consuming. I'm hoping by this time next year I'll have enough clients so I can just work freelance. The thought of very little work for lots of money is good for motivation!

[Whyte Bler 000]

I'm a regional manager. I work for a company that provides security and concierge services to residential and corporate clients. I'm in charge of about 95 +/- people with 27 sites.

Sadly, you don't always get the best personnel for this field. But at the same time you can get individuals who are in college, who do an excellent job and want the positive recommendation for future careers. You also get retired persons, who have an excellent work ethic. Its the people in the middle who typically cause the most problems.

Some sites have supervisors or managers running them, but the majority of sites are directly under my and my boss' control. We also meet with clients to get their feedback on how to improve services.

It's not the best paying job, most contract security companies do not pay that well. But the experience in managing multiple sites and a large number of personnel is second to none. If I don't get a police job in the near future I will probably take my experience and move back to in-house security at a hotel as a director and make more money.

I received my bachelor of arts in Criminal Justice. Depending on where my career takes me will determine what I do for my Masters.

[hlx524]

I run my own business - it gets hectic every once in a while but it's well worth it.
