Do you like your job?

Selling boards too  , but not the same as benkei's one    and also clothes . This job fills my free-time when i'm not studying and it's fairly paid. And as the sales are done since a while , the job consists most of the time of "taking a seat, and sorting the new arrivals once each 4-5 hours with a punk-rock musical background. " So hell yeah it's a decent job !*

I enjoy it as much as I can- both of my jobs are pretty simple endeavors, entry level work. At one I drive around and use a GPS to navigate to client yards, then I hop out, throw my headphones on, and scoop dog poop into a bucket. For what it is, it pays pretty well (12.50 usd/hr) and allows me a lot of time to ponder ideas, observe nature, and gag, sometimes.

The other one is as a mail inserter (putting advertisements into newspapers via automated machines- loading hoppers and so on). It pays the same as the first position, but I'm stuck in a warehouse. I still get to listen to lectures or what have you on my headset all day, so I think of it as a study period more than work.

Overall, the whole system of society which runs off of commodity and consumerism and necessitates the use of currency leaves a bad taste in my mouth, though. I feel as though there has got to be a better way to live, one which has more meaningful interactions with one's environment and community without the dehumanizing elements present in the majority of positions available.

Short of joining a commune or going to live on the peak of misty mountain, I don't really have a functioning model of an alternative way of life yet, but I remain hopeful. It is my fervent belief that the best idea will win at the end of this 12'000 year or so period of mania we call history, and that all other ideologies and the institutions supported by them will fall by the wayside.

I just started a customer service job at a telecoms company. Pretty shitty but people are nice and I need the money atm. Now I've got a steady job under my belt I'll think about what I want to do properly.

yeah thats the positive thing about it, you dont see much people around, if u see people late in their office, its going to be "hello, good bye" sort of conversation. I just put some music on, and hooving i go

Implying I'm not living on govt money for being autistic and alot of other shit.

[zagibu]

I quite like my current job. I only work three days a week (software development) and still make enough to live a decent life. Hooray for education, I guess.

I've been unemployed for like 2 years... once I ran out of unemployment benefits It started getting really shitty... Can't buy weed with government money anymore. 

I need a jaaaawb!!!

I did QA testing (game testing) for NamcoBandai in the past... before that I worked at a "tobacco accessory" shop which sold "waterpipes" (Don't call them bongs or I can't sell them to you!).

Game testing is pretty fun, but you can feel like you are starting to lose your mind when you get put on a shitty project. The worst game on the NamcoBandai contract was by far, Yogi Bear, on wii... pretty much like a super mario brothers rip off, done horribly shitty. If you find anyone entertained by that game, I swear they must have some sort of mental retardation. The nice thing about the job is its a pretty lax office environment, you can talk/joke all day long as long as you aren't too loud, profane, or racist 

Trying to get another QA Testing Contract atm

 As long as I'm doing things in my official job description, I'm satisfied. Unfortunately, most of the time, I'm doing random shit that isn't real work. It's all very pointless and depressing. This combined with twelve hour work days, sometimes working 24 hour shifts, and completely incompetent managers might make a lesser man kill a bitch.

[Daunt_Flockula]

I have mixed feelings about my job. But hey, I'm a freelancer and I can get shit done solely by sitting at the computer. I think not having to leave my home for work is a great feeling anyway. I have even turned down some great job offers to maintain this freedom of mine.

[Rumblood]

I like my job, its the best I've ever had, but when I retire and don't need to make money, I'll be doing other creative and productive things that I enjoy more that don't necessarily pay much if anything (but could pay more than I make now with some luck). If I did them now it would be a gamble, and I'm too close to retirement to risk doing it now. I can wait 10-15 years.

[Grumpy_Nic]

Was at a great company yesterday where I applied this week. Might get the job next week, hope I'll get it, would be so much more interesting than now

[Prpavi]

Good luck with that, fingers crossed.
