I deal with drunken arseholes slurring things like 'WHEN DO I GET TO SING'

I'm a Mobile DJ, so I also do Karaoke - do these stupid fucks not understand that, if I'm working a karaoke night in a busy pub, you're not the only one who put in a karaoke slip?

Also dealing with drunken slags going 'OH MY GOD, CAN I SAY SOMETHING O NTHE MICROPHONE!?'

No you fucking slut, that thing cost more than your outfit, and if you try and pick it up, I will remove it from your hands, then make sure I don't get you up to sing.


Seriously, if any of you guys go out to karaoke nights and get drunk - don't fucking hassle the DJ.

I'm currently unemployed because I took an extended vacation to California, but I have a temporary job lined up as soon as I get and I intend to look for something more permanent.

I worked at Hooters as a waitress from August 2007 until June 2010. Not fun. I may go back for weekends though eventually, since it's quick and easy money, even if it is frustrating.

I also worked as an Enumerator for the Census Bureau during the Census from April 2010 until June 2010. There were times when a nice person made my day by offering me a bottled water. Other times it made me angry because people would threaten me or slam the door right in my face before I could get a word in. Overall I liked it and will most definitely do it again ten years from now.

I'm volunteering for the Maryland elections, which I've done since high school and love. This time I qualify for a higher up position, which means more pay. Hooray!

I also hope I can get another job at the Census Bureau while still going to school. I feel it's a good job and it's away from the restaurant business I've been involved with for nearly six years now.

Kay I'm done rambling. Have Uboa blowing a vuvuzela to make up for it.

>>3295188

I approve of your Uboa.

i'm a college student. an art college student.
i'm pretty much fucked.
have a bunny. i can kinda sew.

>>3295307
That is so cute.

I'm just finishing up my Cenus job now. End of the month. I'm a little freaked out because none of the other jobs have called me back for an interview yet.

Marine biologist, work for DEFRA in England. Look at fish and shit.

Yeah...

My job is looking for a job.

I'm an everything-engineer...mechanical by degree, software by hobby (plus it's fucking easy), "electrical" by occasional necessity (really basic amplifiers and power supplies, typically support electronics for something more interesting).

Art student on summer break.

used to work at Borders during the summer and winter, hated it.

Now I survive off selling shit at Artist Alleys. Meh, pays the rent.

I currently work at a medical record storage facility. For $10 an hour, 10 hours a day (9am - 7pm), 2 days a week (Saturday and Sunday), I get to sit alone in a back room, going through large boxes, taking out 20% of the medical record files, and quality image checking all of them.

Basically that means I stare at a computer screen, open up the matching file, and go through each page matching the page to the one on the screen, watching out for duplicate images, blank images, crumples/folds, missed images, etc. Once 20% of a box is done, I slap a sticker on it, carry it out into the connecting room, stack it up, and repeat the process.

There's nothing but me, my music, and security cameras.

Of course I used to work 40 hours a week-- 9am to 3pm Mon - Fri and 9am to 7pm on Sat-- when I had a contract through the company at a hospital... I had this contract for 5 years, but then the hospital went broke and cut all of the "unnecessary" jobs and contracts, me included. The company I was working for then fucked me over saying that I couldn't make up my lost hours at the storage facility, giving me 10 hours on Sunday for a grand total of 20 hours a week.

With bi-weekly paychecks, 20 hours a week, and $10 an hour, I get around $375 every two weeks. Because that TOTALLY helps me pay my college tuition, car insurance, gas, living expenses, etc.

*RANTRANTRANTRANTBITCHU*

I work at a tech support call center, but what I do involves no phones whatsoever, so shit is pretty cash. I deal with trademark infringement complaints on web advertising for "a software giant" on their search engine (Hint: it's not Google, Yahoo or uh... Netscape)
It's actually more fun than it sounds as we have about 20 windows open on 2 monitors at any given time- proprietary tools, search engine, resources, email. Allowed to use iPods at work. Pay is shit but there is a lot of opportunity for advancement while I work toward getting back into my real career, which is CAD drafting and 3D viz for architecture.

I'm a host coordinator at a restaurant located on Disney property, but owned by a third-party. So basically, I get free park admission while not having to slave away on minimum wage. It's a recession-proof job, pays way more than it should, and lets me chit-chat with all sorts of interesting travelers, as well as fuck up the dinner plans of assholes.

I'm getting a nursing degree, but this is a job I'd stay at one day a week for the rest of my life just for the pure lulz.

>>3295408
>recession-proof job

LOL keep thinking that

>>3295431
As much as I was going to say the same thing...

"Disney theme park attendance up in 2009
Crowd numbers jump 8% at Disneyland in Anaheim, while overall U.S. theme park attendance falls about 1%, the Themed Entertainment Assn. estimates."

http://articles.latimes.com/2010/apr/27/business/la-fi-0426-disney-attendance-20100427

>>3295431

Anything that ties into entertainment is pretty much recession proof.

I mean, my job is - you'd think in an economic slump I'd have less work, but it's the opposite - you get hires more because people want to forget how shit their life is :D

>>3295358

link to your work?

I'm a receptionist/admin. I work (relatively) hard but no one appreciates me or understands what all goes into my job.

>>3295455
>>3295451

Indeed. Across all properties, a 4.8% increase in attendance.

Likewise, 2009 was a record-smashing year for movies.

I own and operate several small sell sites. It's pretty good money and you can't beat the hours.

I work in the fine arts library of my university. I get paid the absolute minimum legal wage, but it's quiet and I get access to awesome music.

Research Assistant. The wage was salary based and the doctor in charge of the project loved having me work long days. Up to and beyond 12 hours. Sometimes without a break of any sort and certainly without a luxury like lunch. Every time something went wrong, he pinned it on me, whether I was within a 50 mile radius of the incident or not. He would get pissed if I didn't want to be around during the weekend to receive text messages from him at 8 on a Saturday morning telling me to operate on dead mice by myself. He rarely followed animal treatment protocol anyway. He had me yell at the guys in IT for being stupid and openly stated that he could get just about whoever he wanted in the entire gaddamn hospital fired simply because they pissed him off.

Just gave my two weeks notice. The doctor canceled the position entirely meaning I wasn't fired, but I can't work. We had it out for more than an hour and a half. He said I was inept and stupid, I was raised wrong (in a single parent household), that I was a concern (not a threat, which is such a strong word!) to the safety of the project and lied to him about my total lack of interest in CANCER RESEARCH, that I was working the position exclusively for money at less than $27k a year and the only reason he gave me a couple compliments was because it was obvious I had no self esteem. He then said that I should stop fucking embarrassing myself for trying to work an extra two weeks and that I would be denied two weeks of unemployment benefits.

The last thing he said to me was that he wish things had ended better between the two of us. I said the same and left.

I'm poor.

Professionally.

Full time Medical student. I don't have time for a job.

>>3295637
You can get trolled in real life as well.

No matter how high in life you are, trolls exist, no matter what. I guarantee it

to many lies in the medical industry

i wish i had a job ;_; but as in between person its really hard lol i just graduated h.s and im on my way to college but it seems like every job wants someone with a degree

I work for Sephora. Pic related, it's 1/3rd of our clientèle.

Currently looking for a new job.

I work in a call centre, and to avoid a long winded discussion of my job, I usually just say 'call girl'.

English teacher.

I work for a college bookstore. It's not so bad until people bitch at me about how much their books cost like it's my fault.

Respiratory Therapist (RRT) and Med Student.

Gamestop, looking for a new job.

Joann Fabrics...need second job. However i refuse to leave the JFab because the people are amazing.

I'm an engineer at a train manufacturer

we design, build and repair all the trains that service our capital city

Medical Dispatch Call Center Coordinator/IT Person.

All female after hours call center. I think the last male employee we had in our end was like, 3 years ago. There's ONE guy working in the AM office, but eh.
I basically tell Nurses what to do/where to go, deal with the clients over the phone, and then 2/4 shifts I'm IT to the nurses/personal support workers when their phones/Black berries stop working/do something wrong. Gotta love being paid 18$ an hour to tell people where to go and use a computer.

Working just under 24 hours a week, usually 2-4 times a week.
IT part pays 14$ an hour, but it's worth it. I have money for stuff I want and never have to worry about being too poor for burando/fabric/conventions.

I also enjoy being able to sleep till noon to go to work for 430 on weekdays. <3

Retail monkey for Wal-Mart. I honestly love my job, despite the fucking retarded questions and customers.

>>3295746
so how did you get this job? is there any degree's you need for this job?

I'm actually looking for a job right now. I'm looking at an opportunity to work with a local computer store as an intern, learn how to fuck with computers until they work again and all that. Already know how to do that shit so I'm set, paid internship too. Which is good considering I'm still freeloading off my parents.

Soon to be manager to my dads eBay store, I have my own store, all dealing with stamps, coins and paper money. And student.

I'm a whore! and no one respects me in my community!
its so upsetting sometimes, but.. it makes good money for my cosplays :3

I work at a Starbucks. Shitty job, I know, but it's something, at least.
I can't stand the 13 year old brats that come in and order their Venti Double Chocolaty chip frappuccinos, then pay with mommy and daddy's credit card.
I'm also tired of idiots. It's espresso, not expresso. It's caramel ma-ki-ah-to.
I'm astounded by someone every day. I was asked who Bob Dylan was the other day, then yelled at the day before for asking some foreign chick if she wanted room for cream in her coffee.

>>3295768
Honestly? I got this job through my mom. She works there and got a job through a friend of hers who worked there that also worked at her other job. And that chicks mom works there still so that's she got in.
You have to know someone or have a damn good personality to work here.
No degree required. I got out of highschool last year in July and got a job there in September.

>>3295809 I was asked who Bob Dylan was the other day

>>3295431
Recession-proof as it can be. Numbers are way up this year, and Disney ensures us a steady stream of guests. Meanwhile, my friends with degrees in various fields are scrambling for work and enjoying less financial freedom. Feels good, man.

>>3295809
> I was asked who Bob Dylan was the other day

derp

I sell tea to innocent people who don't want it

>>3295816
i dont get it. who is he?

>>3295827
>i r funne

currently paralegal in a small firm that works for a big bank.. so basically do grunt on 1000s of cases and only go to the associates/partners when we need shit signed or an actual legal issue comes up.

i do so much shit for the firm for less than i should be paid-- i really only get paid my work when i work overtime hours. and the current state of the firm due to huge changes in staff, is that I get obligatory overtime. every week is like a marathon because i coordinate over 3 trials a week, usually all in different counties of this huge ridiculous state.. the stress and experience combined has motivated me to take the lsats and get my ass on lawschool track like nothing else can.

but at least i'll start and end law school with insane experience in civil litigation.

I work in retail, in a pseudo-surfer-meets-skater chain. You know, the ones that sell Hurley and DC and whatnot where people still think these brands are hot shit.

I actually really like working retail, customers are usually nice (nicer than fast food, atleast).

>>3295827
Same question here. Heard the name thrown around a bit but who the fuck is he, what the fuck did he do?

>>3295843
Zumies or PacSun, I assume.

>>3295847

>>3295847
>>3295827
holy shit newfag summer

>>3295853
Canadafag, so Arlies/Boathouse actually. But they're pretty much the same thing.

>>3295858
Good god. Just...children.

Guys, I'm too fucking embarrassed for you to give any help myself. He has a wikipedia article, and his name is quite easy to spell.

>>3295827
>>3295847

Interning at a startup company for the summer. It's paid.

>>3295856
>>3295858
>>3295878

People call me a troll? Even though you are being trolled.

>>3295889
No, I think you honestly believe you're funny.

>>3295816
>>3295824
God, I know. And, of course, I can't do anything but smile and try to not scream "Are you fucking retarded?" Luckily the person behind them in line goes "Are you kidding me?"
It's become a sort of running joke, along with which Queen sang "Killer Queen" and whether David Bowie used to be a porn star.
We mock pretty much everything we can at my store. Frappuccino drinkers are the easiest. There's almost always something wrong with them.

Traveling carnival. Work in the popcorn/cotton candy/caramel apple/candy apple stand and the office.

It sucks. A lot. And I have really shitty internet like 2 times a week if I'm lucky. And I miss my online friends. I'll be home in less than a week though. :D

>>3295905
David Bowie used to be a drag queen. :3
And he's also the King of Cosplay. Fuck RDJ and Boner Robin.

Unemployment...and I shouldn't be either. Thanks to the fucking economy, and bullshit things like "My Computer Career", what used to net me $35 an hour for 3 or 6 month contracts I now have to fight to get over $15. Why? Because when people found out how much techs with experience, certifications, and training had, they went "I WANT THAT!" and now the market is filled with nothing but trained monkeys that work for half of what trained techs would take.

Considering a career change but after doing this for 8 years, plus secret clearance, plus MCSE/CCNA/A+, plus 4 years of USMC experience with the computer tech side of things, it's a little late to be going back to square one.

Just had an interview today for tier two, was offered $10...that's nothing short of insulting, but the interviewer said "I could hire any other guy with less qualifications to do the same job for cheaper". So, fuck the IT field right now.

>>3295896
huh?

I'm a contract animator at an educational software company. Decent pay, nice company, and I get to draw all day. Most of the material is pretty dry and sciency. There's very little character animation which is kind of a bummer because that's the fun stuff. I love that shit.

It's been a decent gig so far but the publisher we're working with has no concept of time management and is a fickle bitch (no surprise), so we've had to bust our asses to put out a retarded amount of content in a retarded amount of time. Oh, and then they decided that we didn't have the budget for 3/4 of the art team. That was fantastic.

>>3295909
My friend used to work for a carnival. Shit totally sucked. Side note: she also got knocked up by a carnival worker. I lol'd epicly. Cute kid though.

>>3295858
>implying i wasnt being a half assed troll

I work at a ritzy country club as a banquet server. What I basically do is move furniture (set-up event/tables, chairs, linen, silverware), I move more furniture than you can imagine, work the event (serve food/drink) and then clear/clean up the room and reset for next event. I also get to wear either black and whites (white shirt, black tie, black slacks) or a cotton polo with black slacks (khaki shorts if I'm working an event down at the pool)

Our big business is in weddings/receptions and golf outings.
Its a pretty decent job, the manager is nice, but there is so much drama and rumors going on in the kitchen that it makes you want to punch babies, and my one 'captain' is an old wrinkly bitch that makes me want to push her down the stairs.

I get paid $8/hr plus a monthly tip check which is usually around 3-600$ depending on the event we had and how many hours I work per month (no health insurance either). I usually work anywhere from 4 to 12 hours a day, and when scheduled there is no set time off.

All you receive is what time you come in, you could be there all night. We usually say don't make plans or at least 2 hours after the event ends IF it has a set time originally.


The only reason why I have this job is because I used to work as a residential computer technician (40/hr weeks $10/hr, cheap health insurance) for a small company that due to economic reasons last winter I was laid off. Couple months of shitty unemployment I landed the country club and have been there for a year.

>>3295927
This is not /k/.

They don't know about your F N

I'm a software engineer at a company most people haven't heard of. It's a weird combination of forms and documents and design specs combined with free-wheeling tech work and the occasional nerf gun fight in the office. It's slightly safer than IT because companies have tried and failed many times to farm out work to places like India; turns out you can train IT in people who are smart but don't really have the talent/desire, but programming just seems to need slightly more spark. So my job's not going to Hyderabad for a bit longer at least.

I am a librarian and I make websites.

>>3295916
LOL (not really, more like "bawww")

That was my exact job last summer. It only lasted a few months, because my boss was a moron who couldn't keep up with my hours and decided I wasn't worth it. The contract was supposed to be renewed but when I pressed him about it he dodged the question until like the last week when he was "we need your computer back". I REALLY wanted that job, and went out of my way and above and beyond.

It was absolutely the most soul crushing moment in my life and I still blame him for everything wrong in my life. It took months for me to want to draw again and I'm still no where near as productive as I used to be.


Now working part time at a Grocery Store. I hate my life.
