    Default I get to make pies and croissants today!

    What's your favorite part of your job?

    So far, mine has to be baking stuff. Everything smells so amazing when it's cooking! Very hard not to grab a cookie out of a container and eat it myself

    The part when it's time to go home!

    Anyway, I haven't started my new job and my old job is coming to an end.

    My favorite part of my old job is that I will get to travel around for free. I get to see interesting places and meet people of all types! And all my colleagues and me are like one big family!

    For my new job it will be hanging out with little children and educating them! But since I haven't started yet, I won't really know! I hope they are as nice as Vivi! :vivi:

    But the important thing about a job is that try to make the best out of it and alway be responsible!

    I can't really think of much I actually enjoy about my job. I usually get burnt or cut daily. Such is the way of the glassware. Then again, getting cut by hot glass is nothing compared to a cardboard papercut.

    I guess the money is good.

    My colleagues are awesome, that's probably the best part.

    It's good you're so happy about your job!

    I like the people I work with. They're funny and have a childish spirit, even though they're all parents and grandparents. Just this a few days ago they were squabbling over my puffy stickers, begging me for the zebra or the lion. It was cute. XD

    What I hate? My job is a 9 to 6 shift. Enough said. ;_;

    The favorite part of my job is that my shift is only three hours long.

    Does being a high schooler count as a job? It sure feels like one. =P

    Seriously, the favorite part of my job is coming home to five hours of homework every night.

    I did my homework maybe three times in my last two years of high school. That was my favourite bit of that job.

    My "shifts" are pretty random and short. Because I'm a Jironalist (work for the local paper), the jobs only go for an hour or two and then another hour or two to write the article and put the photos on the hard drive. Easy, fun and well paid. But I suppose the lack of hours is what I dislike most.

    Except this one guy who was real effing rude

    For my job right now, the most rewarding thing is just working with the autistic children in general! Whenever they write out a sentence, or read a whole book, or converse with me I feel elated. I'm working with the same student this summer as I was last summer and he's using so many more words this year, I'm so proud of him.

    And we sang a song before swim therapy yesterday, and he actually sang along with me, following the sequence of actions that the song was asking without a prompt from me. That is rewarding.

    For my other job, at the deli, it's rewarding when I'm told that I make the best damn sandwiches.

    And for my OTHER job, as a writing tutor, it's rewarding when I have my clients tell me I taught them better than their own professors after a long session of editing and writing lessons.

    I get to play with computer cards and wires and voltmeters. I've always wanted to do low-level computing like this

    I love the girls that I work with, we all get on so well and it just makes the whole job a lot more fun than it could be. I also love being able to secretly shop while I'm working, we all just go around looking at stuff and putting bits behind the till that we want to try on later

    The majority of my coworkers are all really awesome people. We're always talking and laughing it up when we're not actually out in the park.

    Aside from that, it's a waterpark and I'm a guy... /smug

    I suppose my favorite part of my job is that there is essentially no micro-managing whatsoever. For the most part, my co-workers act like adults and everyone does their job, so things like cell phones, ipods, music, etc is allowed. They prefer us not to surf the web, but don't really enforce it. I just do it on my blackberry to avoid any confrontation.

    Oh, and the bazillion weeks of paid vacation and sweet pay.
