    Default Work?

    Where do you work, and what do you like and hate about your job.

    I work at Mcdonalds, and I love almost every part except cleaning the fryer

    I'm currently at work Bored out of my mind because it's a slow day.

    By day I'm a secretary. By night I'ma store clerk at a convenient store and a Gamestop employee. And on Sundays I, as Bunny says, watch "Jesus Babies" at a church nursery. And occasionally I help cater for my old boss from the cafe that shut down that I was working at.


    I hate The Store job cause I meet the most random creepers who say the most disgusting things to me that they think is a hit on but really makes me want to stab their eyes out. I get free soda though?

    I hate gamestop because the guys are sexist there. Employees and customers alike. It's getting very disheartening. 15% discount but they give me very little hours so that sucks. I'm thinking about quitting.

    My secretary job isn't bad at all. It's a real estate and auction company but we also sell other things. I get a percentage if I make a sale but the old stubborn people who come in drive me insane. Most of them are rude. I do get to watch netflix on occasion when it's really slow.

    Jesus babies is pretty easy. I just watch them for an hour and get paid handsomely for it. Sometimes it's boring though.

    The occasional catering job is fun cause I get to cook!

    Most days i'm working for about 12 hrs straight with a lunch break and a break to get from one job to the other. Lovely, but hey, I got bills to pay.

    I am an intern at a Japanese company. I love this job. It pays really well, I don't have to do very hard work, and I love the people I work with. So much fun!!

    I have a side-job tutoring English to two young Japanese boys. They are pretty awesome too, and it pays $80/wk so that makes it even more awesome. The only real hard part of the job is that their mom speaks no English, so I have to talk to her in Japanese quite a bit. She also asks me to translate some letters from the school for her. xD

    It's a tutoring job HC, it's not like he's getting 30 hrs a week doing it. He gets probably like 2. That's like $40/hr. That's damn good.

    yeah for 4 hours of work a week $80 is awesome. Then I add the money I get from my internship and it's good money for someone in my situation.

    I'm a checkout operator at Morrisons. It's a damn dull job, but I'm not really complaining at £6.26 an hour. Not bad for part time work :]
    I made one myself for a change! Although you can probably tell that..

    Right now I'm an auto technician and the shop manager at our family garage. The pay isn't super because the business is just barely a year old and we're still building clientele.

    I enjoy the work as a hobby, so I hope not to have to do it too much longer as a full time job. It will kill the joy of it. The most I want to do is help run the shop part time, and do paper work.

    I'm going to school again, and will probably wind up in Biology unless I can find a school that takes my meteorology credits. Then obviously it's weather.

    I'm at home most days, but I'm a substitute teacher when I get a call. Though the school year ends in a couple of weeks.

    I don't really like subbing, but it's at least easy (stressful, but easy) and I don't have to do it very often.

    I am an International Super Spy working for a Secret Government-Affiliated Organization called SEPA. I can't tell you what it stands for because that is one of the bigger secrets. I enjoy my work because it allows me to travel and the pay isn't too bad. I also get to workout frequently as part of the job and my assignments are always fairly challenging. There are certain things I do not like about my job, like coming close to death every other day and the health benefits are kinda lackluster, but the opportunities more than make up for both of those downsides.

    I thought about retiring a few months back but my bosses sent me to see a doctor and now I couldn't be happier.

    I donate plasma and sperm to pay for most of my habits. Between that and leeching off my parents, I live somewhat pleasantly. I have enough for two Colt 45s to get me through each night along with my meals of economy hot dogs and off-brand ramen.

    Life ain't too bad.
