Still being a teenager...I punch tickets at the movie theater for minimum wage. Its a tough life style.
I am a front end head at a grocery store. essentially i try to motivate people who would be just as happy on welfare to actually move fast enough for the motion to be perceptable, not scare the customers, and not steal from their cashier drawers. In reality its not that bad, the work requires absolutley no brains whatsoever, so basiacally i just think of short stories/dirty jokes/protracted tnl rivalries, and talk to a lot of peopel who have become friends over the years. My job can be pure hell if you dont deal well with people, but i have gotten very good at managing egos/attitudes, so i actually have fun with it, plus, a lot of the customers will "paint" you as the helpful guy,and will only go to you,and will often even bring in cookies, birthday cards..etc, just because they like you. Its retail, but its union, it has good health care, modest but ok pay for this area, and is close to home, so i basically can get up 20 minutes before i am set to start work,and still make it there with time to spare.
as i have mentioned a few times, this year im making another run at the clergy, as the rather problematic vocational director and his pet psychologist got booted for allowing a bit too many not-so-nice priests into the dioscese, while pushing away ones that he evidently dismissed for being too conservative. hopefully with less ideology and more of a clear and fair review i should be pimping a collar in about 4 years, though i am still torn between going diosc. or becoming ordered. dios have to run a church, and i certainly am no business man, ordered priests are more spiritually and scholarly oriented.
Very good info there. I'm going to start looking further into graduate and PHd stuff later this year with my advisor, we'll see what I come up with.Quote:

My job is pretty simple: I work in the dairy department in a grocery store. Depending upon how much stock we have, it can either be involving or a cakewalk. The pay isn't great, but the customers aren't really a burden on me, as they would be in other deparments. Overall, I'm satisfied with my job, as much as I probably can be for part time job.
I bag grocceries and take them out to people's cars.
Customers in groccery stores have to be the stupidest people alive, maybe the fumes from the freezers fuck with their minds but whatever....
I work at Gamestop and as a waiter a Denny's. It's alot of time and work but hey... it won't last long if the money stays ok.
I work part time 4 days a week at Borders Books and Music, in the music department, here in Stafford (Houston), Texas. Its retail, but for retail it isn't that bad. What has been getting me down latley is that I started working there in August of 2000, and its about to be August of 2004... 4 years, I still can't believe it. :(
I work a desk job at the University of Miami's Department of Medicine Billing. Whee.
Then I work at EB nights and weekends.
I run a coffee company- marketing, web design, organization, etc...I do everything but the roasting and shipping.
I love my job.
Yours is by far the coolest job listed so far. :nod:Quote:
