[lurch70]

Jobs I've had:

yeah, overseas most people do not actually work until coming out of the university ... but that is good as you can actually study not fucking worry about paying your tuition.

 

[NAD]

supermarket home delivery guy

a vision of a 6'7 surly metalhead at someone's doorstep saying "here's yer fawkin' eggs" just came to mind, hahaha.

i've never been able to make it without working, i've had zero breaks in my employment except for like a 2 month period at 17 years old. momz helped me out a bit and paid for college, but everything else has fallen on my shoulders. which is fine, i'd rather be responsible than a leech like most of my friends.

 

[IOfTheStorm]

bakery boy (hawt)
mobile phones salesman
editor/"builder" at an internet portal
editor/writer for a computer magazine

I have 9 weeks of vacation owed to me this year. I need to take 4 because they won't roll them over. I have so much vacation, I'm even going to donate some to the New Orleans folk in my company.

 

[Russell]

yeah, overseas most people do not actually work until coming out of the university ... but that is good as you can actually study not fucking worry about paying your tuition.

That said, I'm at uni, and job's I've had:
Packing at a cereal factory
Soldering/circuit testing at an electronics factory
Selling car parking tickets (great Saturday job I had for a few years when I was at school - well paid, not much to do, no boss)
Prenatal blood screening in the biochmistry department of my local hospital
Fieldwork/sample preperation/rock analysis
And Zero Tolerance pays, so I guess that counts as a job too. Most of those were in summers or my gap year, other than ZT and the Saturday job which I've juggled with my studies and other stuff

bean monkey at peet's coffee

[NAD]

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

except i'm not nearly as concerned about chicks.

 

[lurch70]

because you are not thirtysomething yet

 

[NAD]

hahaha never thought of it that way.

although there's that one line he says "you know when you're 26 and you lose some chick, you think you're going to be alone forever?" and i'm 26, so yeah. either way i did think that once or twice, and thought it would be cool.

i figure the only reason i'll ever get married is because i want kids, and don't want to do the whole broken family thing. spending the rest of my life with one chick isn't my idea of fun, to be quite honest.

 

[Krilons Resa]

since I was 15:

Dishwasher
Prep Cook
Cook's Prep
Line Cook
Pizza Maker
Fry Cook
Line Cook
Deli Fag
Accounts Manager
Assistant Manager
Customer Accounts Advisor

and a few jobs that lasted only one day.

 

[cthulufhtagn]

^that's brutal, food service jobs are pretty bitchtastic

 

[Krilons Resa]

Yeah, I had to stop because I would just end up freaking the fuck out during the big rushes.

a vision of a 6'7 surly metalhead at someone's doorstep saying "here's yer fawkin' eggs" just came to mind, hahaha.
