Don't even get me started
I really like it I have done my fair share of shite jobs though, everyone does!
I'd like to do something more interesting (and better paid) though.
i was working as a kids courier on a campsite in France. I was running the kids club with another girl my age. so we got paid to sit outside and play in the sand all day and eat chocolate and cakes then in the evenings i joined in the campsite entertainment and got to make a prat of myself on the stage! it was great fun
The restaurant I work in is a privately owned, pretty expensive place, which attracts a lot of different people, from business men to OAPs, and a lot of regulars - after being there 11 months, I know more-or-less all of them, which helps me enjoy the job more cos I know what to say and what not to (there's nothing worse than a stroppy business man!). I'm there four lunchtimes and 1-2 nights a week, so I get to know a lot more than the other waitresses and also get on a lot better with my bosses than the others - they treat me like a daughter! (which is nice)
Saturday night will be my last night there tho, cos I start a new job on Monday, working for one of the business men (an insurance broker) who comes in for lunch and business meetings all the time!
And I've only been there two weeks
I'm hoping it'll get better when I lose my 'new girl' status, although I get on pretty well with all the people I work with. Except my manager, I won't go there.
But yes...the money is ok I guess, and it's all experience....:rolleyes:
other than that im a full time student and i wish it would hurry up and END cos i hate school:(
i do the marketing for a website, but the marketing budget has just been cut and basically covers my salary.
and the office is an inbred shag-fest :rolleyes:
I quite like it, although it's a rather brainless job. End up making up weird short stories in my mind, and re-play them over and over again. lmao, I'm sad.
The office is crap, some of the people are ok, but theres not exactly many opportunities to socialise. Plus I'm the youngest there by at least 6 years but blagged myself the job by faking a load of computer qualifications I don't have.
But hey it's only a gap year job to save some money for travelling so I shouldn't complain. Just feel sorry for people who have a full-time job like that. It also sucks cos I have to drive 45mins into work and 45mins back every day and pay £3.50 a day parking
Oh, me too!
I'm gonna miss my old job (waitressing, see my earlier post) but I'll be back there, working weekends at Xmas! :rolleyes:
Good luck with your new job!
I do Furniture removals, it's my dads business.
It wrecks my back all the time, I feel ill a lot due to my back always aching when standing up, the pain goes down my groin and it puts my stomach out sometimes if it's bad enough.
I really need a job which doesn't involve lifting as I think I'm going to get a lot worse than a bad back if I continue like this.
I, of course, am above all that. Ok, I'm not, but it's all really wearing me down... There's either nothing to do because nobody's in or we're run off our feet because everyone's piled in at once.
What's worse, it's the bank holiday this weekend. Or, as it's known where I work, bank HELLiday because we're so busy.
At least the other staff are nice (although every and now and again the chef voices his opinion that drug addicts should be shot. Um.) and I'm valued by my boss.
that used to happen to me all the time, lol.
our shop was huge, and there were nuff places to hide from customers and managers. they always stuck me on the till, and because i've got a problem with maths i hated it. i know the tills add it up for you, but its different when im in charge of someones cash or card...i used to get proppa paranoid about it. plus i was at the forefront of the customer side of things. lol, some bloke threatened to hit me because the bag on the counter wasnt big enough.
now i work in an office just havin a good time. the workloads tough and the jobs stressful but i enjoy it.
p.s. i work for ladbrokes, woohoo the excitement. At least i get paid £7.50 an hour.
p.s.s. i took a year out of uni to save for car, travel and flat! Just in case u were wonderin
