Fun Stuff > CHATTER

Let's say positive things about our jobs!

<< < (9/42) > >>

snalin:
The only work like thing I'm doing now is writing a script for doll theatre and trying to sell it. I guess that's cool enough in itself.

nobo:
the fact that i have a job when so many people are out of work is reason enough to be ecstatic.

besides that, i work on repairs for nuclear reactors. Not very many people can say that, especially not 24 year olds.

pwhodges:
I have never accepted a job which I was not going to enjoy, so I could say positive things about every job I've had; but if I did you'd get bored long before I finished.

Tyler:
I spin beats for money. I also sometimes get paid to take apart things and put them back together! I also get free bagels and money for making boring menus! Freelance laziness is pretty great.

ViolentDove:
I'm currently back to being a student for a bit, but pretty soon I will be interning with these guys. If I don't like that job, then I'll basically have to give up on the whole idea of Being A Journalist.

Also, because I've worked a large number of jobs I'm going to summarise their perks.

Fishmonger - Free* prawns, smoked salmon.
Telemarketer - I was selling carpet cleaning. No redeeming features whatsoever.
Legal clerk - Got paid a fair bit to visit courts, file stuff, and read court transcripts. Some transcripts are actually pretty entertaining.
Cinema Usher - Free movies!
Numerous cafe jobs - Drinking shitloads of coffee. Most of my co-workers were pretty awesome. Free food, also.
Stacking shelves - Fucking terrible. I once made a nest in the manchester department, though, and had a lovely nap.
Musician - Occasionally I get paid for DJing or playing trumpet at things (not so much any more, too busy with night school). Last time I got paid to go to a festival over new years. Also, free booze is a major perk of playing gigs.
Scientist - All the ethanol you can drink. Freezing stuff for fun. Doing research that actually matters. No dress code, except for wearing a lab-coat!
Communications officer - Worked from home most of the time, writing newsletter articles for a few research groups. Well paid, easy work.
Staff writer at a magazine - Just an internship, but I got to write about a whole bunch of interesting science stuff, which has lead to a bit of freelancing.
