I do, with the exception of one employee who likes to give me a hard time (she's an old crank) but otherwise, Lawton's Drug Store is an awesome place to work. I get good pay and good hours for a part timer.

I work full time at Computacenter. It's great so long as I have enough work to do. I don't like sitting around doing nothing. But no, the people are great and I'm great at what I do, they're offering me promotions etc. so I can't complain at all. Pay is pretty good, too, although it could be better - but that's what that promotion opportunity is there for.

I enjoy getting paid by the government to go to school, yes. It's much better than going crazy trying to get good grades and earn money on the side.

Cons:

I don't get paid
7 hour shift
Horrible staff members
Low productivity
Occasional detention

Yes.. It's school :cry:

^_^ But on the other hand, I get to be with friends and learn (yay... how fun *extreme sarcasm*)

I work in an animal shelter. A no-kill shelter. There's a lot of love in the air. People get stressed about stupid people/customers/owners, but generally it's a pretty awesome place to work. I'll miss it when I leave :/

I like where I work and being casual I get to do a variety of jobs so it's never boring because I'm never too long in one spot, except for Payroll where it's usually a block for around 6 weeks. I do everything from being a Kitchen Helper to Accounts Payables, Receivables and Payroll and most of the people I work with are all pretty good.

I go to school. I hate my school. We learn nothing usefull, the people are morons, the teachers are dicks. I suppose the only pro is making fun of the fucktards, but ...

I had a job, but I quit it because I hated my boss. [He attacked a girl who I worked with]. So now I just get paid for doing things for my parents, which they prefer anyway as I'm still at school :tongue:

Well, I work as a translator part time, translating from three seperate languages. It's OKAY. Alot of my clients have a tendency to try and hit on me and it makes me uncomfortable.

Otherwise, I'm in Animator training.

I actually do. It's the people who make the place better.

I prefer to stock things rather than be a cashier though, so I'm usually excited when they tell me to stock things.

I'll enjoy it when the entire place is fried to oblivion by my super elemental powers!

As soon as I learn Nuke, I'll cast it and watch that horrid place go up in so many countless flames that they'll be uncountable.


That will be... as soon as I learn Nuke...

Right now, my job makes me very unhappy. Even my paycheck is unsatisfying. In fact, I don't think I'll go any more.

I work two jobs at a recording studio and a software company during the summer. I love both jobs a lot and do not want to quit either of them...and they pay well too. :D

Well, if I can substitute school in for this, than yes, it's okay. I like most of my classes, and since I can only see my friends at school, it makes it more enjoyable. Plus, almsot all my teachers are great. I can't really get a real job until some room opens up at the Subway on the Base I live on, since I don't have a car and it's the only good paying, steady job available.

My jobs okay. Except the one time my wire broke, and I forgot my silencer. Yeah, my employer was pretty angry, I had to change my name and move somewhere else.

I love my jobs. I'm a cashier at the Warehouse, and the team of people there is awesome. A lot of funny stuff happens there, too. <a href="http://www.livejournal.com/~mr_o_o">Here's one thing</a>.

My other job is a bartender at a local club, which is probably the best job I've had. They pay me very well, and I know almost everyone there; it's basically getting paid to have people buy me drinks. :D

I was a chef before that - before I started university, which was cool too. Quite a stressful job, but I had a great boss.

Like the lovely Amanda, I too work for the government, and therefore everything I do is classified/none of your beeswax, dolts.

Cashier at a local mediocre store with few customers. Staff is great, but I always have 8 hour shifts, which is a lot when you've also got school and homework. I'm only going to stay in that work for a few more months, then I'm moving away from my parents. >=)

I have to say that the coworkers is what truly makes a job a great job, which is why I'm going to miss the job as a lowly paid cashier at the local mediocre store.

I hear Secret Agent Calliope climbs into people's houses through their windows without waking anyone, but nobody knows what she does once she's inside...

Technically I have three jobs and I only enjoy one of them.

My main job is filing in a cave and I HATE it. Filing is the most boring thing EVER.

Ahem, my second job is being in a dance company which I love love love.

My third job is teaching dance to little kids which for the most part is stressful because they are CRAY-ZEE but they are cute too.

And I am about to start my own photography biz so hopefully that will take of and I can quit my first one. ;)

My job sucks.

My job's alright. I work as a structural engineer in a small company that's really just starting off. What sucks is that there's only 7 of us, and so it gets kinda competitive and hot under the collar, because everyone is kinda fighting to stay employed, and not get laid-off. Hence in little ways everyone is trying to out-do the other, while working together as a team.

The pay is alright, but hopefully I'll be able to get on the next big oil project and make some really good coin.

*however I gotta be very careful when going online! ;) a coworker or boss may walk by at any sec - uh-oh gotta go
