So I won't be posting much anymore like I used to. I'm working at Eckerd now, today being my first experience hands-on, and I've just got to get used to it. It's my first real job of my life. There is a lot of stuff to remember and memorize with the cash register, etc.

I don't know exactly what days I'm working-they call me when they want me to come in. It's usually 3-5 weekdays (4-9). But Saturdays are exclusively shot for me. I work a 9-9 shift. A strenuous 12 hours... :x

In the end, it'll be great to see my paycheck at the end of every two weeks. I'll finally have money of my own to spend/save. :)

So, if you all would like to discuss your job, or future job, go right ahead.

I'll see you all when I see ya'.
 
I was doing landscaping...it sucked.
 
I'm a runner for Tiger Athletic Foundation. Go pick this up, Stephen. Run this across the street to the Athletic Department, Stephen. Go water the ficus, Stephen. That sorta thing.

On Saturdays, I'm a DJ at WBRH/KBRH. I like that job better.

Also, I manage and play on a Men's soccer team. I don't get paid, but it really is a job in the amount of work I do.
 
Good for you! :)
I have too much to do already with school, but this summer I hope to get my first real job.
I need money to upgrade my computer, get a new digital camera, buy a cell phone get a car and license ect.
I just have to keep saying to myself "I will get a job..."
*goes back to playing video games*

Good luck with that. I don't know what Eckerd is, is it like a big chain? I did a google search and see there is a drug store called Eckerd.

It is a bit overwhelming starting a new job and thats any sort of job, because you don't know the rules, or the people, or how to do the job very well normally. I guess you can only do your best, and thats normally going to be more than good enough.
 
My boss needs to pay me $100+/hr when I do repair work on his pc's...this $6/hr for upgrading pc's is getting rediculous(spelling?)...
 
I work for an isp, I listen to retarded ppl, oh joy oh joy

I wondered what Fred Meyer was and did a google search. I noticed you could purchase such fine products as the 'Anti-Aging Glycolic Peel Kit'

You can buy anything :) There are regular Fred Meyer stores, and there are Fred Meyer super centers, which I work at, kind of like the walmart counterpart. Its sort of middle class bulk shopping, but not as yuppy as Costco.
 
Well congrats. Welcome to the workforce! Get to know and love it because it'll be with you for the next 30-40 years.

I got a new job last month as well. I work in a insane asylum or mental health facility if you want to be politically correct. :P I don't actually work with the patients, I just get their medication ready for them. Im a student assisstant to the Pharmacists. I get paid decent money to sit on my ass and file paperwork, enter data, and clean. Not too shabby. I just got my first check today too!!! :bounce:
 
I have sex with beautiful women with humongous breasts while people videotape me.

i have this wonderful job called chores
and also school
i guess using the word wonderful and school in the same sentence would be an oxymoron though...
 
I work for RC cola as the "errand boy" of sort. My uncle owned the factory so he figured putting me there would be the best choices....for now :| Until I find a better job that suited my interests
 
wtf... don't you people graduate ?

EDIT : it sounds condescending, I know, but really, why were you guys in school :O

I hope you guys get better jobs
 
I got a job cleaning people's shoes.
Nah, just kidding. :)
Anyway, good for you!
 
Sprafa, most of'em are still pupils I suppose... (no, not the ones working 12h ;))

Besides, someone has to be at the cash registers, right?
 
I'm starting work in about a week or two, dunno yet (employer is... not to fast with these things). It will be my second "season" working. I'll work for a shop that sells boating supplies, and since I live in Finland, the season is from March to around late september. So I'm working in april, may, june and july. Yay 4 me!
