    Today was my first day of my first job.

    Long story short: My legs are sore. =(

    Basically, I work in the dining hall (at NCSU, where I will return for college in about a month) and do lots of jobs. They'll be rotating me around, but today I was a "linebacker", meaning I had to replace empty food trays with full ones and take the empty/dirty ones to the washing area. This involved a lot more standing and running than I'm used to. Hence the sore legs. =\

    I go back tomorrow for the same shift. At least I'll know what I'm doing more than today, but I hate working already. -___-
    So I've gone completely slack-ass and haven't done any work on creating games. =(

    In less-depressing news, I got a job for an online business (which sells non-electronic games, of all things!) which has taught me a lot about marketing online and all that jazz.

    So now I'm on Twitter @NoahWright.
    And I write the blog for their website.

    Plus I do cool programming in-house that you'll never see. =O

      Man, that type of job would just tear me up, as, seeing as my ankles aren't "properly developed", they would hurt more from standing and running around, and that, sirs, is why I have to wear ankle braces whenever I run around outside and stuff. Meh.

        you slut

        how dare you find a job

        Seriously, the only places I'm qualified to work at are the types of places where you can only get a job if you know someone... and I don't know anyone at all... not a single person.

            Nice, welcome to the working world. How long is your shift?

            Anyways, that doesn't seem too hard. I work at FedEx (Ground) as a package handler. Thats a long version for a tossologist aka someone who is wise in the are of tossing boxes. Basically I move boxes for 4 hours a day. My shift does about 20,000 packages and we have about 8-10 people each day. So I average about a 1,000 boxes an hour. It gets pretty tedious after a while. /ranting about my job

              You get commission on that or is it an hourly wage?

                Re: Today was my first day of my first job.

                I worked 3:30-7:30. Once school starts and we're on a normal schedule I'll work till 8:30, prolly, but for now it's just ~4 hours a day. I'm gonna hate once school starts. I have a class that starts at 8:05, and 2 of my classes are on the other campus, so I'll have to either walk 15-20 minutes to the campus or take a shuttle, and I'm not so good at public transportation and bus routes, so I'll prolly mess it up for the first week or two, but going there and back 2 times a day will suck regardless of whether I manage to do it right or not.

                Plus working the dinner rush 5 days a week. I'm gonna be sooooooo tired all the time. -_____-

                  4 hours a day of labor isn't much. I did 5 a day on a mission trip before (sorting food, moving boxes, ect.), except I wasn't payed. My only payment were the pastries that they were going to throw out because they were getting old, but suprisingly the pastries were pretty fresh.

                  Manual labor sucks, though, I feel your pain. The paycheck makes things kind-of worth it.

                      Hourly wage . If they paid by commission, I'd probably be making twice what I am now because I work pretty hard and almost nonstop. But its FedEx, they ain't gonna change **** for a while. I did just get a raise though, well, my plant did, but it helped (+$.5 ftw)

                        And you wonder why I was so pissed at working at Costco for double what you work, doing twice the amount of work you do.

                        Sheesh. It's not easy doing manual labor people. That's why nobody wants those jobs.

                              Noah, my friend's worked at his old dorm's cafeteria for about three years now and even got his friend a job there. It's apparently not terrible work, and he's made his way up the ranks there, so he doesn't do much manual labor anymore.
