what do you do for work?
 
actual employment. sorry if this has been covered before, but i haven't been here long.

do you like your job? do you like your boss/bosses?

gmku 01.16.2008 05:03 PM

Self-employed. Freelance writer.

I like myself as a boss fairly well. I'm tolerant about long lunch hours.

✌➬ 01.16.2008 05:04 PM

I now work in customer service. YAY!!!

Savage Clone 01.16.2008 05:08 PM

Beast of Burden.

My bosses are among the best I have ever had.

A stellar contribution.

Rob Instigator 01.16.2008 05:12 PM

I am officially Technical Support/General Services for a fancy law firm in Houston TX.
That means that I am the maid.
I do mailroom, breakroom, shipping, computers, software support, suppplies, service repairs, etc.
I had my yearly review (been here 8 fucking years. Oh man) yesterday and I "exceeded expectations" on everything. I got a good raise too.

Rob Instigator 01.16.2008 05:12 PM

plus we got some pairs here at the law fim that would beat a straight flush.

Rob Instigator 01.16.2008 05:13 PM

and by pairs I mean nalgas.

terminal pharmacy 01.16.2008 05:14 PM

sound engineer in the past 80% of my working time and composing 20%, but this year 80% composing and engineering 20%.

my boss when i'm working as an engineer is awesome, and i am my boss when composing.

m1rr0r dash 01.16.2008 05:16 PM

full-time student... hoping to go pro...


i like my thesis chair... aside from the fact that he hasn't paid me yet for the graphic design work i did for him last year.... but that's okay because

a) i haven't given him a paper i was supposed to write over the summer yet...

b) i'm pretty sure he hasn't been paid yet by the city for the project we were working on...

Torn Curtain 01.16.2008 05:18 PM

Unemployed :(

I've been looking for a job in IT for 11 months, I hope I'll finally get one.

floatingslowly 01.16.2008 05:22 PM

I've been working in IT for a year now. It's moderately well-paid. This isn't a boast - it's only moderately well-paid. The point I'd like to make is that I fucking hate computers - certainly in terms of work - but I've entirely fallen into it. So stop trying and do a bit more falling.

Back to school for me this year though, yay!

Cantankerous 01.16.2008 05:32 PM

I was hoping you actually worked at a soup place.

Savage Clone 01.16.2008 05:40 PM

And seriously, I deliver and assemble furniture in people's homes.
I also occasionally do work with a local sound company setting up and tearing down mid- to large-sized concert events, both indoor and outdoor.

screamingskull 01.16.2008 05:43 PM

no job, i am a lazy ass art student.

Rob Instigator 01.16.2008 05:53 PM

man I miss the days of art school. art school girls were always the hottest.
they were slightly to very crazy, which is hot, and they were kooky dressers, which is hot, and they liked weirdo freaks like myself, which is hot. ha!

I gots my Bachelor's in Fine Arts (Studio Art Painting) with a minor in art history, and now I work for lawyers. fuck.

screamingskull 01.16.2008 05:54 PM

sounds exactly like my art school experience, so far.

floatingslowly 01.16.2008 05:57 PM

no worries glice, I've got this one.

Ah, vagueness.

Rob Instigator 01.16.2008 06:03 PM

it is better to study something you love and to earn no money at it, while supporting yourself with soem regular J O B, than to study some bullshit that you think or that someone has told you will get you a good paycheck after college.

My father had a doctorate in Divinity.
that's some heavy shit

I'm sure I'm not the only person who'll paint a psychological profile on the basis of this.

keep talking like that and you ll become my other hero.

love plans like that and admire people who follow them.


Hehe. Yeah, I'm quite lucky to be a musician/ writer with a back-up plan that's equally pretentious (but at least moderately likely). All hero worship gratefully received.

I'm impressed with your old man - I keep telling my old dear she should do the books thing. But will these parents listen? No, no they won't.

yes. and yes.

m1rr0r dash 01.16.2008 07:51 PM

is there an american word for "mobile towbar fitter" ...? or is there no cultural equivalent to this vocation in our united states? is it just one of those things that involves apples and pears or tea and biscuits that we don't have over here?


edit: i'm pretty sure you mean that you drive a tow-truck ...er, lorry. but you never know... maybe it has something to do with helping the kids put on their rubbers before they go out to play...

HaydenAsche 01.16.2008 07:52 PM
