Jobs that you had that are a joke.

[rome1]

So I just spent the past four hours here and not one single person came into the store. I actually thought about sleeping in the stock room for a while as well. This is bullshit so boring and wasteful, but on the other end i am getting paid to do nothing. Anybody else have some shitty jobs that are a joke. please elaborate...

[keagan]

I need a job.

[edwithoutahead]

Janitor! I would end up playing gameboy in the bathroom some days.

[homme.homme]

Worked at AX for a while. Stayed because the other people there were cool and didn't like the brand either.

No interesting stories. Just bad clothes.

[Lucas0607]

Agree. Need a job. my first job.

[maydenchina]

I'm a computer technician at a hospital

I work part time during school, like 3 days a week for 3 hours. I sit there and browse internet, play emulator games, and go on SuFu. Sometimes i restart peoples computers when they don't know what to do.

In the summer, I actually do stuff and work 40 hours a week, but for about 20 of them, we bullshit with each other and listen to music.

this is the kind of shit im talking about... how to make the time pass, sad fact is that the store i work in is on a highway with not much else near it. The owner took away the couches and put in metal benches so we can't sleep anymore, no cable tv, no VG's and I mean how many times can you actually watch the same skate dvd's over and over again.

construction boots wholesale (no, not CAT or any fancy brands)

[notesee]

What store do you work in now, Rome?

[rome1]

Eastern Board and Skate, small shop in NJ.

[keagan]

Seriously, Record shop down the street wouldn't hire me- despite me smalltalking with the store owner for over an hour n half. Have to be 18 to work at fucking guitar center... how hard is that?...

Only places that have offered me a job is an 120 square foot art gallery, a tanning salon, and fucking a&f- all of which I refuse to work at. I went to an "interview" at banana republic and they almost gave me a job but my grades aren't "good enough" and I would have to "tie my hair back".

LIFE IS SO FUCKING HARD.

FUCK.

i used to work electronics at kmart. we used to do shopping cart races and just yell random stuff in the intercom. when people used to ask me to check inventory, i used to just go up there, hang out in the lounge and come back 10 minutes later because i didn't feel like carrying it.

[keagan]

I couldn't work at kmart. Would grind at my ego to much.

[mr fluffernutter]

keagan i'd be HAPPY to shave your head for you

[keagan]

please do.

doesn't hurt i got every video game system that was out back then (97-98) for the price of tic tacs and hooked up all my friends with complete discographies of some very good music.

I do this when an annoying customer can't deceide on a pair of shoes. just tell them we don't have their size till they get fed up. That and the "Not It" game when we see a car pull into the parking lot.

As Keri said in another thread second fun jobs should be just that but, when it gets slow, it gets really slow. Usually spraypaint on the dumpster out back for our afternoon art session. Then maybe walk to starbucks and hassle the employees there for a bit, destroying random shit the tool store puts in there dumpster is also amusing. The high point is usually watching someone get pulled over by the police.

I work in a lab at stanford during my summers and basically i come in at 9, set everything up and get my experiments going takes about 30min, leave till after lunch, come back and develop photos in a darkroom then repeat one more time going home at 6. Paid for 9 hours work every weekday for about an hour or so of actual work.

[kauflust]

as an undergraduate i worked at a massive computing co-op that had labs in three different floors in the building. after my boss left at 4pm, i would go into the bathroom on a deserted floor and nap on a natty bench that was most likely left over from the 70s.

[poliopoliopolio]

in high school i worked at the baby gap and sold cashmere hoodies and leather pants to infants who most assuredly grew up to be the same kids who gave the mighty ducks III all that trouble for being scholarship kids at the snooty private school.

this probably should have gone in the confessional.

I went to an "interview" at banana republic and they almost gave me a job but my grades aren't "good enough"

I wouldn't mind working at an art gallery .. what's your beef with it? Fuck a tanning salon and A&F.

I used to work at a tea house in DC that had an entire wall filled with different teas all stored in japanese washi boxes from ceiling to floor. This was my first time working in the food/beverage business and I just took orders and talked to customers about tea.

On the quiet nights, we would basically set up the Pepsi Challenge with different teas and practice guessing the tea based on scent and/or taste. Pretty cool aftering acquiring the taste to differentiate between various oolongs or greens.

[so-so]

I BET THE BITCHES LOVE THAT

am I RIGHT!?

BOOYAH

[wEstSidE]

can someone hook me up with a job at Commonwealth norfolk? I'm sure there is a pudgy asian on here who's got some sort of hookup.

[RAISED BY WOLVES]

Russel Simmons wrapped in a white bath towel: Yo man, I told the front desk you guys need to do something about these shower mats. They're disgusting. And what's up with that lightbulb?

Me: I'm sorry about that, I'm brand new here, but I'll see that it's done as soon as I can

Russ: Ok...thanks

[seraphim]

I used to work as a waitress, and getting paid four pounds an hour to be leered at and touched up by customers and chefs is just not worth it.

I did get a lot of free chocolate cake though
