oh now that's a horrible shift.

sowwee.

N1h1l1ty

It's bearable when I keep in mind that it allows me to have 2 full days off a week and a day where I only work 7 to 1

Plus I get a 2 hour break (its really 2 shifts back to back) so I can go get an alignment, which looking at how bad my toe is out in the front, I really need, springs or no springs

Happy Friday, ladies & gents

Yummy, will you be in line to get an Apple Watch today?

He already has one

That's a shitty shift. Used to want to kill myself when I had to do 8 to 8 on Thursday and Friday then 8 to 5 on Saturday. Was pretty much the longest 3 days in a row.

Well being a fairly young student in a pretty low paying job, I cant complain seeing as I at least have steady shift work and being unionized, at least have some security. It aint a forever job anyway, but maybe a good stepping stone seeing as its a government job, so just gotta grin and bear it for a couple of years

Plus I get to pretty much spend the first half of today jamming tunes and the second half being the boss

N1h1l1ty

I do 8:30 to 5:30 on Saturdays and its by far my least favorite day. It drags on and on and on.

polobunny

Yup. Oh low wage jobs, how I do miss thee. Not.

Franchise1124

My schedule depends on what point I'm in during the monthly reporting cycle. Upside is I choose my own hours and can work from home just about whenever I want

rockstar143

iTrader: (6)

we all start somewhere!

polobunny

That's always rad. Only "problem" with working from home is you have to get yourself in the mood to work. If you procrastinate... well... it doesn't end well.

True. At least I never needed to milk bulls or collect elephant poop to make a living. Can't talk for n1h1h1l1l1l1l1ty

Franchise1124

Exactly! I started off as a stock boy at Radio Shack

if I was bleeding monthly, i would want to choose my own hours too.

I'm responding to you from the line up. I will gladly give away my TAG, Omega and etc. once I get this amazing iWatch.

I started at a movie theater...I had 6 jobs in 2 years...then been with the power company for 17 years now.

TacoBello

shiiiiet. I work 8:30-4:30 M-F, with a 1 hour lunch in there. God, those 7 hour days are brutal

But hey! It's not all that glorious! I'm in at 7:55 this morning. I could have slept for another 30min!!!


I'd actually prefer to work 7-3:00/3:30 like some of you do. Gives you more time when you get home. Not much of an option here though.

N1h1l1ty

Considering the sometimes astonishing stupidity of some of our clients, sometimes I feel like I'm dealing with animals, not humans. Job certainly has more than enough figurative shit shoveling for anyone lol.

But like J said, everyone has to start out somewhere - I'm still chasing what exactly I want to do career wise, and I'm blessed with having a supportive family and friends behind me on that one.

TacoBello

speaking of first jobs... i started with delivering flyers when I was 12, I think. A whole whopping $35 every two weeks! some weeks were REALLY busy, like, deliver 300 Ikea catalogues. Then I'd be makin' money that week... $45, boyz! It got to the point where I would ditch half the flyers in the dumpster. fuck that shit. Ah, the work mentality of a 12 year old

But first real job was Burger King, just after they opened the franchise here in Canada. I'd always smell like onions when I got home

TacoBello

Nilly, are you playing with elephant poop again?

Franchise1124

Just wait til you'll be able to post in this thread from the watch. Also, please give the TAG and Omega to me. I'll give you one robot plus WD-40 for your troubles.

N1h1l1ty

No but I did have to deal with a gangrenous leaking hobo once...

TacoBello

wait- what the hell do you even do for work, lol?

N1h1l1ty

Started as a telemarketer at 15. Managed to build up quite a vocabulary of cuss words from that

N1h1l1ty

I work as a customer service rep and facility in charge at a community center

TacoBello

Oh? such as what? I need to add to my vocabulary...

polobunny

oh my god

Just had a talk with one of our clients new assistant and from the starts she sounds... let's say bleached blonde.
I tell her she has to go through our intranet and I spell out 2 words and I say "both singular".
She pauses and I hear her being "uhhhhhh" then she goes "Singular, does that means without an e?".

Nearly fucking lost it. wtf is wrong with people

TacoBello

Does she have any other parts that are bleached?

polobunny

No idea but that shit def got to her brain.

N1h1l1ty

Trust me, still better than explaining to people that speak not a word of english that, no your kid can't join this program because of xyz. I mean I should be more empathetic being an immigrant myself but damn is it frustrating sometimes

TacoBello

you're from ukraine, ain't ya, Nilly?

N1h1l1ty

Yessir, born in Lviv

Franchise1124

How about explaining to people how to print a file in Excel 2010 because the menu looks different than in Excel 2003?

polobunny

I work with real estate brokers though, it would be hard to find people that feel less entitled to everything with larger egos than some of them.
Sell a house, think they're ballers. I see the youngins acting like they're gods only to end up in our $ recovery department a few months after because they can't pay their bills anymore.

That said, there's also very nice ones that make up for it. They're usually the most successful ones too. Respect goes a long way.

N1h1l1ty

Yup, have to do this with one of my supervisors. Not particularly fun

pb, ain't that the truth. I mean if there's one thing this jon has taught me is being polite and patient no matter how rude the client is. I mean, I've had people flip shit and stalk away fuming because they couldn't get a rise from me after being extremely rude. I just kind of chuckle at that

N1h1l1ty

Also lets face it, office suite 2003 was the best
