Scandanavian War Machine:
i'm stoned, listening to Akron/Family, and drinking Mountain Dew while typing on an internet forum.

my job is fucking sweet.

Barmymoo:
Yeah I'm pretty glad to have a job, and in particular to have my job because (sorry Gemm!) working in a supermarket is awesome. It requires no skill beyond small talk and making change, the hours are flexible and fit comfortably around college, I get paid almost twice what I got paid in my last job (enough of an increase that even the loss of my own office and phone doesn't dull the gloss) and when I leave for university I will be able to transfer over or just come back whenever I feel like it and they will continue to pay me at full rate.

My shifts fall so that I get five days off in a row, but I still work enough hours a week that I can save up and also buy awesome things. I get a discount on anything we sell which my parents take in lieu of paying rent. My colleagues are generally friendly and being forced to talk to people for twelve hours a week means that I am much more confident and also have finally learnt to banter coolly without being rude to anyone. My uniform is comfortable (althoug soon it will be purple) and when I get really bored I get to go round the shop unshopping all the things people abandoned. Perhaps I have low expectations but even after nine months working there I can't fault my job.

calenlass:
Oh oh another positive thing about my job is that even though I make $2.13 an hour and by Georgia state law when I don't make up to $6.50 in tips my boss is supposed to comp me the rest in my paycheck and he usually doesn't,

sometimes he does!


(I work 39 hours a week. Why do I keep ending up at places that will make me work 39.5 hours a week but if I stay too late or forget to clock out they throw hissy fits because I have stayed for 40 hours and oohhh god that is fulltime can't be having that)

TheFuriousWombat:
I have a work study job at school. I work in the little on campus cafe in the student center. I get free food. Today I made myself a ham, provolone and pesto sandwich for lunch and it was delicious.

Verergoca:
Well, i just started on this, but.

a). 36 hour workweek, but i work 40 hrs to save up some hours for Oz-2010
b). Its a job enables me to be financially independent
c). Im working on a rather interesting subject that will become very important the coming years.
d). I will get along with the boats to get to know the area we work on better
e). I might also be able to tag along for a chopperride. (which is a big maybe, but eh)
