Work discussion

Now I'm finally a member of the working world I'd like to discuss work. What do y'all do? I'm enjoying my second day as a researcher for my dads investment bank and I can now appreciate the feeling of doing a days work. I don't count my month on a shop floor in Bluewater. God that was rubbish. Looking forwards to the pay check.

Edit: Also if this place gets enough attention I'll buy us a proper forum to use with my earnings.

Part-Time at the local shop. 7.45 to 5.30 tomorrow, cannot wait. The joy it brings me. I suppose that counts.

A job's a job. Better than sitting around with your thumb up yer arse.
I don't mean any offence by my shop floor comment, I just hated it.

I'm pretty sure you all know what I do by now. I bake things between 8.00am to 1.00pm with the family and then I get paid.

I work about 30 hours a week and get paid about £500-£600 a month. Considering it's a family business - Minimum Wage doesn't apply, so I could get paid £20 an hour if my dad felt like it. Which I'm pretty sure he will never do.

I'll be getting a pay rise this October, though.

I'm still working at the same old newspaper. My working hours vary from 09.00-15.00 to 08.00 to 15.30. The work is good, I get to just sit in front of a PC screen browsing the net most of the time, apart from when I answer phone calls from clients etc. Working there until I go off in august.

I don't work God Damn it! I should probably go and look for a job though...

I work at the local Out of School Club and have done for the past two years. Pay is a little under a fiver an hour, but it's awesome, and I'm getting loads of hours now because it's the school holidays. Apart from doing dishes, sweeping up etc., most of the time is spent chilling with my workmates and the kids - who are often hilarious. Great job, really.

If I'm going to plug I might as well do so here; I also "work" voluntarily for a couple of fairly respected (one is recognised by GR/Metacritic and the other is pally with the Rock, Paper, Shotgun lads) games sites. It's worth a mention because right now I'm trying to get some paid freelancing, though I'm sure I could put in a bit more effort and get stuff published.

Hmmmm....I dislocated my shoulder on the 30 th June, had a week of work and then went to take my sicknote in and found the company had gone bump.

Oh yeah....when i have time of work companys cant cope and go bust....how fuckin awsome am i???

You still would though.....

I have 2 jobs technically.

1) Working in a kitchen for about £5 an hour for about 4-5 hours a shift, not bad, on an average week I get about £50 a week, oh and a free meal after every shift

2) When the rugby season begins I sell programmes for Northampton Saints, £15.50 and free entry into the ground to watch the game

I sell shoes. It's fun sometimes, shit the rest of the time.

Starting at a place called treeway in 2 weeks time, 2 days a week, involves making fence panels.

Im going to be made redundant at the end of August and fuck going back to McDonalds!

I wonder if a censor in the treehouse would be a good idea???

There's no real reason for a censor. People can to act however they want, they just have to realize that there will be repurcussions if they behave like animals as opposed to refined gentlemen.

Currently situated at work, and there's been almost no call today. I'm the only one in the office now for the next 3 weeks, all of which are destined to be quiet. I hope the forum stays alive. Will be a bit boring if not.

Take a couple of games in and stick em on your PC

Haha, I am still supposed to work, and the journos stop by now and then and I doubt they'd appreciate me gaming on this ancient piece of junk! I'll no doubt be reading loads this summer.

Nothing like being payed £12 an hour to do whatever one likes! :danofwar:

I want your job, mine is awful

off to start my new part time job at treeway today lads, wish me luck

g'luck. What, pray tell, is Treeway?

Good luck indeed

involves making fence panels, very tired now,
