Fun Stuff > CHATTER
Let's say positive things about our jobs!
glyphic:
I get Sundays and Mondays off
I have internet access and a lot of down time
I am management, so I get to decide who gets hired.
I made a customer cry the other day. That felt so good.
My job is burning my soul out of my body.
Llewellian:
Yesterday, i was talking to a friend of mine about "Positive things about your job". And he clearly won on that party... ^^. He works for The Department of Weapon Systems & Ballistics in Munich and has to test armoured cars to their security classification. In his words: "People send in their newest fancy cars costing half a million and more and i get paid for blowing them up and empty several rounds of ammo on it....getting money for destroying expensive things makes me happy..."
Ladybug:
Having a mind-numblingly boring job at least makes me appreciate minor things. Like doctors finishing off their recordings with "Hey, hoooo!" completely randomly, or funny phrasings of weird shit patients have done. And there are long breaks, because middle-aged women like to take breaks and talk for ages.
Zingoleb:
Ladybug, that reminds me of this one report I heard where this medical transcriber was told that a kid had "Phollenfrometry", and the transcriber didn't know how to spell it and couldn't find it in any of his books, so he went to the doctor to find out what it was.
Turns out the kid had fallen from a tree.
Supposedly true.
Ladybug:
Heh, it actually wouldn't surprise me at all if that was true. It's really weird how sometimes I'm expecting them to say some difficult, medical word, and just expecting that will leave me completely unable to hear what they're actually saying, and I'll have to ask for help, and then I feel dumb when it turns out to be something really obvious and I can totally hear it afterwards.
