Your Job

In the light of the fact that there is an unemployment thread I though we could make a thread for those fortunate to have a job. So....basically what is your job about ?
I'm currently in my summer vacations but on my second job so far. My first job was as a teacher assistant for the 4 year old kids that are going to start at my school (my school is K-12). It was basically an introduction so they get used to school. I worked for about 5.5 hours for 2 weeks (mon-fri) and got paid 60$.
I started my second job just on monday at a movie theater. I basically fully clean up two theaters and then start receiving tickets at the entrance for about 2.5 hours. The bad thing is there's no chair so I have to stand up for all that time. My last hour is dedicated to leading people out the theater after the movie has ended. If my calculations aren't erroneous I make about 1.05$ per hour and work 6 hours per day monday through saturday. I'll only work for a month though, after that it's back 2 skool. |

Bob Slydell: You see, what we\'re trying to do is get a feeling for how people spend their time at work so if you would, would you walk us through a typical day, for you?
Peter Gibbons: Yeah.
Bob Slydell: Great.
Peter Gibbons: Well, I generally come in at least fifteen minutes late, ah, I use the side door - that way Lumbergh can\'t see me, heh - after that I sorta space out for an hour.
Bob Porter: Da-uh? Space out?
Peter Gibbons: Yeah, I just stare at my desk, but it looks like I\'m working. I do that for probably another hour after lunch too, I\'d say in a given week I probably only do about fifteen minutes of real, actual, work. |

customers come up to me all day and i ring them up for all their computer needs. sometimes they try and chat with me and i ignore them. sometimes me and my friends play jokes like pretending to be blind or deaf. other times we will say unncessary things like "how are u doing" and proceed to type their response onto the keyboard. i don't look at ID when i do credit cards and we whole heartedly promote fraud.
During downtime we try and do Titty Twisters, perform the 2-inch punch and swat down each others name tags.
When the boss is around I screw/unscrew the bolt that holds the shopping bags. Other times i will pretend to be on the phone acting like i'm doing a price match to another store.
When customers come up to me and ask me technical questions i say "hey hey hey, im just a cashier." when they if we have a bathroom, i say "yes" and wait to see if they want to know where it is. If a customer has a complaint, i give the phone number of the regional manager, rather than just the store manager.
8/hour. 8 hours a day. 5 days a week. the monotony |

I'm a grocery clerk and backup "Person-in-Charge" at Fred Meyer, which is a chain of Northwest stores that are the higher-class, clean and respectfully-managed versions of Wal-Mart.
I earn $9.22/hour, stock shelves, cashier when needed, and am getting PIC trained so I'd be the closing food manager at night for a couple of nights a week. I'm going to be making $10.72 in a couple of months, plus 50 cents extra an hour each hour I'm the only manager in the department.
Do not work retail. Thankfully I'm just doing this during school. :p
Not that anybody really cares, though. |

| I work for FOX, or more specifically FOX Networks Engineering & Operations. I work heldpesk for all the graphic operators of all the different FSN channels (FSN, FSN Prime Ticket, FSN North, FSN Southwest etc..) as well as any of the sports shows on FOX. Basically if their program crashes, or if they're having problems with any of the plugins designed for the graphics software, they call me. It's pretty sweet :D |

I work at a Blockbuster Video.
I like my job because it's exceedingly simple and the management of Blockbuster does not adopt a 'the customer is always right' philosophy - I guess business changes a lot when in the rental industry. :p So that means, even though the words 'customer service' are in my job title, I mainly just cooperate with people so I can strongarm them into buying more stuff from me or, to a greater extent, paying for movies they never return or end up returning super late.
I get paid a pretty paltry $8 USD per hour, but the hours are pretty flexible and the workload is really, really light. Also, I really love movies and can be a great help to people who come to me asking for assistance, recommendations, etc... so, in essence, I like what I do. If I didn't like it, I would definitely find another job - which is something I urge everyone who is discontent with their occupation to do! Cliche as it is, life really is too short to spend your years behind a desk doing stuff you're not interested in. =/ |
