    I work as a photographer.

    Here is the stuff I love about my job: the act of creating, the thrill of making beautiful things, making people so happy that they cry, being a part of people's biggest life moments, being my own boss, fun creative people as colleagues, working at home in my pajamas.

    Here is the stuff that I hate: So many damn emails. Crazy clients. Customer service stuff in general. Taxes. Editing for hours and hours and hours by myself with only the occasional work date with another photographer to keep me company, standing on my feet for 10 hours straight and carrying 15 pounds of gear on my shoulders, not fulfilling my own creative goals and falling into a pit of misery and despair because I'm not as good as I want to be.

    i work at a pigfarm.

    since august i work 3 days instead of 5 since the farmer is taking a step back in the 'ladder' .. instead of breeding pigs who will later breed more pigs he is now going to make pigs that will end up on your plate.
    the food for the pigs is to expensive and the price for a pig to low, so he needs to save some money and 1 way to do that is to get rid of all the staff.
    as unfortunat it is for me i do understand it

    i like working 3 days, to compensate it i would in the future like to work 4 days.

    i honestly think that people spend way to much time in work.
    when i worked 5 days i felt like i had no free time at all

    I'm a professional job searcher. The government pays me to look for a job for about half an hour every week.

    I work as a combined technician, website admin and software developer at a college. I have quite a bit of downtime which I tend to spend wasting time on the internet. Needless to say, I'm a huge success at life.
    There is no signature here. Move along.

    I work in the distribution center for a very large and local cell phone case company. I used to work customer service for the same company but had to transfer because I couldn't handle talking to people for 8 hours a day.

    I currently work a register in a craft store. I used to work a register at a soft pretzel store in a mall. My coworkers and bosses at the new place really don't treat me very well, but the customers are generally all really nice to me and comment on how nice and pleasant I am. At the old job, I had really great coworkers generally, but the customers were all very angry at me for no real reason. Because I wouldn't give free pretzels and drinks to people, customers would say such things as "You are the reason for everything wrong in this world" or cuss me out.

    Still working on finding my big boy job of becoming a teacher.

    I am a middle level dude working for a major communications company - pretty much I deal with marketing junk and support other dudes by answering more technical questions about how our trout works vs the other guys...

    Occasionally I still take phone calls from reps/managers who are doing calls to pissed off customers and tell them how to fix stuff.

    Well, we got the car running "better than it's ever run before" according to the owner, which is always great to hear. Especially since it's heavily modified and lots of money went into it.

    Less than a day later, the car's computer got wet, and appears to have fried something important. The computer is no longer able to communicate with one of the fuel injectors. Poor guy can't win.

    I get a paycheck from VA every month to go to college. I'm not even in any cool classes yet, just the basic stuff.
    I also flirt with serving girls at Pizza Hut while occasionally making a pizza or washing some dishes or something for some extra beer money. It's fun.
