Ok, so I might be drunk, AGAIN!, but I can still type grammically correct, if I used Google spell check

So, what job do you have and do you enjoy it?

The job I have is a warehouse packer and its a joke, lol, its slave labour and crap pay. I'll probably leave and find a new job, one that pays better for less work

A none job, hehehehehehe, how much does it pay? I only get £600 or so a month, which I have to give £40 a week to my mum, which is £160 a month, so I have... ? £440 a month for myself, but If I'm drunk I will spend it on silly things and then remember I did a boo boo and regret it, plus I am killing my liver so I should stop

I'm what I think the English call a retailer dude. I advise people about hardware, software and accessories in a filial of the largest electronics supermarket in Europe. Great work, I must admit, as I like being up to date with gadgets, PC's and stuff, and like to help people. Don't think my boss is that happy with my attitude, though, as I'm more customer-focused than commercially focused. Ah well, my working mates will take care of the profits, and I'll take care of the customers.

Ah the drunk posts, well I tend to keep away from the forums at those times...tend to, not always.

My job, well I'm a professional bum, I live off of a student loan and pretend to do my work and get a degree, in reality, like nobody knows, I just sit around my flat doing bugger all on a professional level - I'm better at it than the likes of Paris Hilton, see the flaw in her professional laziness is the fact she begs Daddy for money, which takes work and effort, not to mention her acting and music career - all futile efforts. A true bum doesn't put any effort in what-so-ever.


Or for a better word to describe it, I'm just a measly student.

I work in a tie knot factory. If you have a tie at home with a knot, I probably knotted it.

About $0.50/hundred. Not much, but it pays the bills.

I'm a Monback for the City of Atlanta.

At the end of the day, when they bring the city trucks and trailers back to the yard and park them, I'm the guy who stands at the fence and yells..... "Monback". It's an American thing.

Best.

I'm an electronics assembler, while knowing squat about electronics. We were promised a pay-rise for April/May which hasn't happened. By sheer coincidence my tax has suddenly risen which isn't what I need now that I've moved out of my parents' house and I'm paying bills at my own house. I could go on for hours about how my workplace is badly managed, but I shouldn't! To sum up, the job is OK but the pay is a joke.

Lay hold on Eternal Life.

If you think Zoe should be impeached, raise your hand

I work alongside Jeku in the knot house (get it, like "nut house?" us textiles guys are clever aren't we?). He's my boss. I'm taller than him by 2", so he thinks that means I can lug around the crates of ties better than the others we work with. In reality, I knot better than he does! I do all sorts... windsors, half-windsors, pratts, four-in-hands... But he refuses to give me a try. And if I confront him about it directly, he threatens to boot me down to the stupid clip-on machine, and no one, NO ONE wants to get stuck in that layer of hell. What's more depressing than riveting a clip to a lousy golf tie? Getting demoted in a tie-knot factory, that's what.

I wrote this as a joke, but then realized it'd probably offend a few people here, but thought it was slightly funny enough to leave. So its in a code box.



But really I set up tents for all of the big events in Toronto, like the MMVA's or the Juno's.

I have two jobs;

Working the front desk of the library at my University (I'm doing that now as a matter of fact), checking books out/in answering phone and doing other tasks too lowly for an adult to do.


I also work at TeleComm, a branch of I.T, running ethernet cables through the ceiling, fixing network jacks, and other misc data-transport enabling.
