The Job Thread

[hismajestythepope]

Job interview tomorrow. Full-time position at a grocery store three of my friends work at. Is this not elite?

I mean, it's not good work, but it's freaking work.

[mx]

Changing this to 'the job thread' in the new community mega thread style.

[808]

Grocery store work is not elite.

[iarescientists]

are you gonna be a manager or something because if you're working in a grocery store with nobody beneath you that's gonna suck

[adb]

Only job I could do at a grocery store would be overnight stocking

**** off dealing with people (mostly mom's)

[Reaganista]

i have an interview to intern at the new jersey public advocate or something
im kinda hoping i dont get it because if i do ill accept it and it's kinda crap

[hismajestythepope]

are you gonna be a manager or something because if you're working in a grocery store with nobody beneath you that's gonna suck
no, but the main issue is that this is the only place i applied to that has gotten back to me :/

[rasputin]

**** off dealing with people (mostly mom's)
that's the best part, plus i have heaps of experience dealing with mums

[adb]

I bet you want to work in produce large bundle of sticks

that's the best part, plus i have heaps of experience dealing with mums

I couldn't handle dealing with the non-stop bitching

[808]

I love mums.

[iarescientists]

they're just mad because they're husbands don't touch them anymore if you tell them they're pretty they'll cool down

[Pop music sucks]

I did that grocery store bullshit for four years. Although, most of it was in the video department, which, out of the other departments, was a pretty slick and easy spot.

But omfg, soccer mom's and their bullshit whining over anything small really gets to you. Not because it is blown out proportion, but you have to deal with that **** every day.

As of right now, I got out of that and am now working as a janitor. That's cool, it's about $2,000 a month. However, I have amassed $13,000 to pay for my flight school. I may have a way better job prospect as an armed security guard. I just have call the human resources department and inquire about getting those credentials. If I do manage to score a job as a security guard, I'll be making $4,000 a month on a 2 weeks on/off schedule. I can do my flight school training on my 2 weeks off and get all the **** I need to get a career in aviation.

[hismajestythepope]

My mom is the ****.

[adb]

My mom seldom complains, but she's p naggy

[Pop music sucks]

Not to say all soccer mom's are bitchy, but there were the few cool as **** ones. Those few made the day better.

[Pariah]

Only job I could do at a grocery store would be overnight stocking

**** off dealing with people (mostly mom's)

I used to do that. Other than the fact that our union contract sucked, the work and people were cool.

[Murdererer]

bagging grocery's is so elite dude

[hismajestythepope]

Well I'm probably gonna be doing janitorial work, sea food, dairy, or deli.

[Murdererer]

cleaning toilets is very elite

[Reaganista]

deli is rly easy except on sunday then it's ****
proly the same way for groceries in general

[Pariah]

Well I'm probably gonna be doing janitorial work, sea food, dairy, or deli.

Ouch. Deli, seafood, and dairy? How does that work out with your veganism?

I had to help out stocking dairy a few times, and the rotation of everything sucks.

[Crapdragoon]

cleaning toilets is very elite

I work at a library in a small hick town.

White trash and wiggers all day that want to get on their myspaces.

[Glitterati]

I would shoot myself in the face if I had to work in a grocery store.

[SnackaryBinx]

**** everyone with a job.

[niobium]

I would shoot myself in the face if I had to work in a grocery store.agreed

i got stuck in an elevator friday night at work i had music and two tootsie pops so i knew i'd be ok

[Chaindrive]

How long were you stuck for?

I dunno, working at a grocery store is still a job. Lots of people don't have jobs these days.

[808]

I avoid elevators when I can.

[FattyKnee]

work is work and i seriously need one. idk if i want to go in the food industry though

[MadSeasonAbove]

McDonalds is always hiring..

[iliketoplaydrums10111]

I work as a research assistant. It's pretty sweet and could eventually turn into an internship

[g°®†]

Grocery store work is not elite.



It is if you work at Wholefoods, or some organic food market.



(:rolleyes:)

[niobium]

70 min
it happened at 12:30 at night good thing there was a phone in there

[g°®†]

agreed

i got stuck in an elevator friday night at work i had music and two tootsie pops so i knew i'd be ok



how many licks did it take to conquer those pops?

[808]

It is if you work at Wholefoods, or some organic food market.



(:rolleyes:)

True. The first time I went into Whole Foods I was a little bit surprised because I expected the entire staff to be white hipster type people but it was mostly black people wearing baggy clothes.

[Chaindrive]

70 min
it happened at 12:30 at night good thing there was a phone in there

Jeez. That's a long time to be stuck in an elevator.


Seriously though, anyone (at least in the US) that has a job these days is damned lucky.

[g°®†]

True. The first time I went into Whole Foods I was a little bit surprised because I expected the entire staff to be white hipster type people but it was mostly black people wearing baggy clothes.



hmmm ... well, when I worked at wholefoods (worst job ever), I was surrounded by these white-hipster types who were gun-ho about the organic lifestyle and who had completely bought into the whole Wholefoods-is-the-greatest mentality. Wholefoods career-cats, if you will ... and they were fanatical about it. I reminded them daily (and rather vocally) that at the end of the day, they were STILL just working at a grocery store making $10/hour (which is actually pretty good for a grocery store).



meh

[Reaganista]

i would take $10 an hour if i could somehow convince myself that wat im doin matters
or that anything matters

[hismajestythepope]

Got da job, 35 hours a week, I start tomorrow.

Shift is 7pm-12am.

Legit tbh.

[Reaganista]

wait you have to work every day

[Chaindrive]

Yeah, looks like 7 days a week.

[Reaganista]

i would cut my face off

[sweboy]

how would that help?

[Against Miik!]

You could replace it with somebody elses face and take their better paying job without anyone noticing

[Nostalgia]

I've had a few interviews, but a lot of people immediately dismiss me because I can't work from 8 - 3:00 because of school. The one job I did apply for the lady had told me she'd already seen 100 applicants, so yeah.

[Zakath]

[sweboy]

holy crap it's the yellow triangle

[Nostalgia]

yeah why is that continually posted

[JohnXDoe3]

I would shoot myself in the face if I had to work in a grocery store.
thats pretty weak

[Pariah]

Liam is a pretentious hipster who would never take anything less than a management position at Starbucks.

I like my current job, even if the work is slimming.

[Chaindrive]

Thank god for casinos.

[Pariah]

Even the poor and out of work want to gamble so you're lucky. Big companies don't have the resources to buy shitloads of wire anymore, so I'm losing work.

[Nostalgia]

What exactly do you do?

[Chaindrive]

I'm sorry, John.

And yes, you're right, poor or rich, people always gamble. And food is cheap at casinos so they eat and drink, too.

[Pariah]

What exactly do you do?

I'm a jacketing line operator at a telecommunications manufacturing plant.

I'm sorry, John.

And yes, you're right, poor or rich, people always gamble. And food is cheap at casinos so they eat and drink, too.

The plant shut down at the end of last month, and it's closing again at the end of this month. It'll probably be like that for a while.

Other than tomorrow and Tuesday, I'm working everyday available.

[Chaindrive]

Good thing you're frugal.

So they're shutting down at the end of each month? For how long each time?

[Pariah]

Not each month, just how it's been so far.

The first time was five days, but I only missed two days of work. And this time I think is four days.

[Zakath]

yeah why is that continually posted
It's my job.

[Brew]

I'm an art student.

Thats pretty elite, no?

[Murdererer]

if you got paid to draw it would be elite

[Brew]

if i could draw, that would be pretty cool

[Jay Link]

I have a marketing and advertising company.

[Aaron]

I work for a bank as an analyst.

[gocubs649]

So is this a what is your job thread?

I'm a student, a junior, so not working... But this summer I [almost] have a job. I'm hopefully going to Mumbai in May to work for an international advertising company for the summer. So excited!

[Glitterati]

[guitarded_chuck]

i'm a enviro sci student. don't work during semesters. worked as a pharmacy tech last year but it was boring as **** so who knows this summer

[Murdererer]

[Murdererer]

oh cool where were u working before

can i have ur nurse degree when ur done with it?

[Zakath]

lol
idiot
managing baristas is serious business

[ridethelib]

I don't like my job. I like the people that I always work with, because they are almost all nurses my age. I'm going to be stuck there until I'm done with school though because there's not really anywhere else that I can work -where I'd want to work - that pays as much as I'm making now.

u don't like being a nurse?

I'm be a nurse in a couple years

[hismajestythepope]

I have a marketing and advertising company.

it's like, "yo wtf is this corn on the cob we grew in all these ****ing crop feilds around here"

[Berner]

it's like, "yo wtf is this corn on the cob we grew in all these ****ing crop feilds around here"

Something like that but with more money.

[sweboy]

dude berner you better be careful there, you might get molecules on your hands

[GorgeousGabe]

[(*The Noonward Race*)]

good man safe side is best

[DaveSavesTheDay]

Are you one of the idiots who asks me if I want to change providers at the mall?

No I just stand in my store and cell you a phone if you ask.

The mall I work in is way to slow to try and walk around soliciting people.

[Pariah]

No I just stand in my store and cell you a phone if you ask.


bad

[Murdererer]

cell u a phone roflroflroflroflrofl

[DaveSavesTheDay]

That was so totally done on purpose

>_>





....*flees*

[Glitterati]

Me - "What's a cell phone???"

I must remember this.

[Black Ink]

I am a freelance editor and camera man at a local news station. I've heard rumors of someone quitting for a new job so I'm hoping to be moved up to at least part time.

[Murdererer]

lol moved up to part time

[g°®†]

that's not funny .... in today's job market, that's pretty good tbh

[DaveSavesTheDay]

^ agreed.

[guitarded_chuck]

oh americans

[DaveSavesTheDay]

^ also agreed.

[McP3000]

lol canada

[ridethelib]

^ 123

I'm pretty sure I'm going to be a whitewater rafting guide for the summer.

[hismajestythepope]

that's not funny .... in today's job market, that's pretty good tbh

Regardless, the statement, "moved up to part time," is still pretty lol.

[ridethelib]

But the job he does makes it impressive, I think.

It's definitely above being a full-timer at a grocery store.

[guitarded_chuck]

zzzzzzzzomg the economy is so poopity right now i'm gonna have to sell my body on the corner so i don't starve!

[ridethelib]

gl hf

[Black Ink]

Regardless, the statement, "moved up to part time," is still pretty lol.

Part time is at least 25 hours a week and some benefits. Even though as a freelancer I could work a 40+ hour week, the next week I might not have any hours and there's no benefits.

[Murdererer]

no hours is pretty good pay

[misterfitch]

haha

[pigletopeth]

Grocery store work is not elite.

it is!

[smith_]

i just got rejected today by some asshole, he basically strung me along for two weeks only for me to find out today they have no spots open

[oathfbass]

I've been searching for a job the past couple months and have found nothing :(

[ArmyOfRage]

I had full training in retail through a course at school, and then I hear on the news after I got my certificate that there are no jobs in retail any more because we're in a recession.

Great. -_-

So I decided to go to college instead.

[Wanker]

College can be pointless. All I learned were some marketing techniques and how Heidegger depresses the crap outta me.

Never take English as a major.

[Sideshown Boob]

I'm working at a summer camp and pretty much get paid to play around. Ten bucks an hour isn't bad pay to go horseback riding or to the zoo. And I got **** like a Six Flags/Whitewater (waterpark) season pass for free because one of my camps in a few weeks goes there.

My job is pretty much the **** for between summers of school.

[4yearpro?]

ur purpose is to let the kids have fun. dont forget that

[Sideshown Boob]

My purpose is to get paid.

[(*The Noonward Race*)]

yes i need a job

how long will this take

[Wanker]

yes i need a job

how long will this take

Too long.

I signed up for a 10-month internship with the SCA (Student Conservation Association) and Americorp in case I don't find anything this summer. I've been actively searching and applying but everything keeps falling through.

The internship starts in October, you teach kids about the environment during the winter and do trail construction in the summer. Student loan payments are deferred with no increase in interest and you get $4,500 as the academic award at the end. Plus, it'll help if I want to pursue a career in the parks dept or the USDA or something similar.

[Interstate]

I'm considering joining the armed forces once I'm fit enough for selection to get me out of my boring job doing crappy maintanence. I won't be going into combat, doing administration (which is what I'm good at and enjoy). It seems to be one of the most stable places to work (i.e the army is short of recruits at the moment and they don't really make you redundant). Would get to travel and get paid for it as well. Would be hard work but then again what isn't?

[ridethelib]

i'm a river guide it's fun i don't get paid hardly anything but it's fun so i don't care

[Pete]

i am a mailman and i get paid in sexual favors from the elderly

[beans]

nothing wrong with that picture if you ask me

[Pete]

pictures are $15

My stepbro was a paralegal in the Marines and he still had to head out to Iraq and go through a little BS. Then again....that may just be the Marines for you.

Be careful dude!

[(*The Noonward Race*)]

guys i entered the thread hours ago i no ones even told me where my job is or anything or how much i get paid

[sweboy]

omg noon have you been sitting in the thread all this time

[sLarkin20]

Jobs are for suckas.

Living off the leftovers from student loans which is like $2 a semester ftw.

[misterfitch]

this thread is so old that it is old hat

[Interstate]

Be careful dude!

I'm very tempted to join a Territorial army unit near me as I could get experience and learn a new skills while still in my civilian job and get paid for it. I'd be nowhere near the standard required for the Marines.

[Wanker]

Had an interview today at a local credit union. If they liked me enough then I'll have another interview with the branch manager.
