You weenies. A little moving of trays is NOTHING compared to running around with stretchers covered in hundreds of pounds of seizuring dog that is drooling and dying all over you.

That said, I did spend quite a bit of last week's shifts sitting at a desk doing paperwork, but this week was INSANE and I don't think I sat down for more than 5-10 minutes each night. End result is my legs are so sore that they're threatening to mutiny.

I drive a delivery car for 3 hours a day. I do no walking at all. I love my job.

I work at a bowling alley, AMF Bowling Lanes. I love Monday nights because I get to watch drunks bowl and make an ass of themselves and I piss off a lot of people during Xtreme Bowling because they hit the damn rake. F*cken dumbasses!

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

*Six months of frustration being vented*

I got paid to browse the internet, chat on AIM, post on FFR, read books, do my homework, steal food and coffee, and watch TV. I worked a College Bookstore, so I also had to deal with idiots possing as "college students" and the whole thing gave me a distaste for mankind in general. It wasn't a bad job, but the store was managed so horribly that it was just like mucking around in sh*t for 6 hours a day listening to people complain about things I had no control over. I also had to unpack boxes of text books and put them on the shelves, which wouldnt have bothered me that much had people actually purchased them. With in a month or so, the same books that I had to unpack, I had to pack up again and send back to the text book companies.

But I prefered the manual labor of the job. At least f*cking boxes don't complain about obvious sh*t.

Customer: "Gee, you dont have anything in stock."
Me: (Oh? Really? Yeah, thanks for pointing that out since that I dont have f*cking eyes.) "Yeah, I know"
Customer #2: "Whoa, you guys really dont have anything."
Me: (Whoa, no sh*t? Here's your Ph.D genius.) "<no response>."

I heard this EVERYDAY for at good 4 months. When we did have stock in, we didnt have the candy they wanted or something.

Customer: "Oh, it smells too strongly of Pine-Sol."
Me: "Yeah, that's because I'm mopping."
Customer #2: "But the smell is so stroooooong."
Me: (SHUT THE F*CK UP. DO YOU NOT REALIZE YOU CAN LEAVE ANYTIME? YOUR FEET AREN'T CEMENTED TO THE ****ING FLOOR.) "Yeah, I know."
Customer #3: "I could smell it from the hallway."

Customer: "Do you have such and such a book?"
Me: "If it isn't on the shelf, then we dont have it."
Customer: "You dont have any books in the back or something?"
Me: "No, if it isnt on the shelf, then we dont have it in stock."
Customer: "Well, then can you tell me the price/ISBN of the book?"
Me: "It's all located on the shelf tag. The tags are arranged alphabetically by course number."
Customer: "Where is that?"
Me: "On the shelf."
Customer: "Which is....?"
Me: (Come on guy, I know you have f*cking eyes. The shelves with the f*cking books on them.) <Usually I just give up, grab a hold of their hand and walk them over to where the tag they are look for is.>

Yea right didn't someone try to get you a job a Vector selling knives? Admit it you're just lazy afro, you could get a job, you just don't want one XD.

I wouldn't have been able to do that anyway. I don't have a car or a license.

Really, though, I backed out of it because it seemed like a scam. I really didn't like the "let's take people into a room individually and tell them they're hired, even though OOOPS WE "HIRED" EVERYONE WHO WAS THERE."

Use the public trans (If you needed a job that is. One guy made 300 last week and he doesn't have a license either, he rode the bus.)

As far as a scam, I made 60 bucks yesterday.... I worked for 3 hours.

Rita, please don't use formatting like that. It's highly disruptive.

Also, work on your keyboarding/language skills.

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

I can't work for 5 more months XD. What am I going to do with these months? Waste them on every thing that I won't have a lot of time for with school and work. Video games.

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

I work at a place that does company picnics... lots of heavy lifting to say the least. And it's hot, and the shifts can be long (8 to 12 hours) but they pay pretty well (7 an hour) so eh.

Dude, $7 an hour is considered good? Where do you live? Isn't minimum wage somewhere in the area of $6.25??
