I'm busy/bored at work and took a survey to see if I was happy at work. I didn't do so well :( Do you guys like your job? If your bored go to this site and find the thingy called PGI. It's kind of fun.

yeah thats true.
i'm pushing 40 hours a week, 35 at minimum, and i don't get fatigued like other jobs.
i worked at cvs and quit after 8 months, it was tiring and grueling.
the spanish assembly line/factory wasn't fun either. 60 hours a week of doing just assembly belts and getting 7.50 an hour wasn't too good, but for that many hours i guess it was good money.
i think i've had about every job imaginable, to coffee stands, shoes, retail, and expensive clothing (banana republic), but the most comfortable position that i've come to be is a salesperson. talking to people is enjoyable, customers love our store and we're rated the biggest and highest customer support in the whole new england district.
my friend interned with a basketball team also at the end of highschool. she loved it so much she dropped out, and became a fulltime staff of the wizards (i think that was the team.)
she's still with them parttime, and owns a house down now in florida. i met her again at my store around three years later out of surprise, and she was visiting family here in ny. she's doing very well. my other friend dropped out of highschool too, opened up his own electronic/repair business in penn with his girlfriend, got married, and he owns a house with three cars and has a baby. he's 19, but living life. i have another friend who owns his own business with family, has a girlfriend thats pregnant (i think the baby was born about now), and 19 as well.
they all love life, some regret not graduating but they're making do of with they have. it seems like they appreciate life more now, with responsibilites being held at a young age.
one of our associates said that anybody can follow the american dream, with dedication, help from people, and determination. he's 82 and retired from his business, but working with us, and it seems as though he's right.
