So...a while ago we had a thread on your worst job ever...now, what is the BEST job you've ever had? Whether it was the most enjoyable, or the best paying, or whatever.
Mine would have to be a job i had with the uni, as a lab monitor for one of the university computer labs for a year and a half. It was awesome, and i mean *awesome*. I got paid very nicely for it, and because i maintained the machines very well, half the time nothing went wrong, meaning that i was free to use the computers for whatever i wanted, while getting paid for it! Was an awesome job...they had terriffic machines, too...it was the journalism/multimedia lab so they had pretty high end machines...not the usual Ipex shitboxes that they had in the normal labs. I miss that job...i want it back goddamnit.

twas good because i was the bosses daughter so i got away with a lot of stuff (ie. not doing much work!) and i still got paid for doing it
mostly, my duties involved walking the dog and being the office postman
pay = kickass
bonus = kickass
discount = kickass
And eating lots of lunch with barristers:p
unfortunately there was no job for me when the bad weather came!
oh well, good memories.
okay so the student union..
I tend to end up going out with boys I work with. I don't know why :chin:
The hours were long (start at 4:30 in the summer) but all I did was drive round on big fuck off machines cutting grass, takign a break when I wanted, smoking a joint when I wanted and loving the sunshine.
The winter was not so good however and the pay was shit.
Really good laugh too, left on Hogmanay and I was well crying.
It was like being a local celebrity, cause I used to do all the departments. I used to get hassled from old ladies all the time when I was in town on my day off.
Shit wages and hours, but some really good staff nights out :thumb:
"oh does he look good" from patricia 76
bless her, and she gets out the raunchy romantic books and they get quite steamy!
plus you get to fine teachers who come in. yeah, payback!
And people bring in donuts/bagels/lasagna/pizza/cake/muffins all the time. :yes:
Hahaha, perks of the job, eh
My best job ever was waitressing, I don't think I'll ever work anywhere more chilled and with such great craic. Possibly why I'm about to go back... I just hope I can escape again after a while -- there are people there who graduated and just went back as "a stop gap"... three years ago.
I think it's the [nightly] staff nights out that keep people there, we'd be too fucked to do any other job in the morning... and we all feel each other's pain :thumb:
I used to call bingo in the local bingo club that was linked to a shitload of other clubs. was good fun, left because I was going with my ex of 3 years and had a thing for one of the girls and it got to the point where my heads was wrecked
Started at 6am, was done by 2-3pm. If it was raining I'd sit in the cab with a motorbike magazine, some cake and a cup of coffee. Sorted :thumb:.
