I hate my job. I wish I could quit... but I need the money.
What do you all do for a living? I'm trying to look for a new job that will actually interest me... |

My current job isn't giving me enough hours but
I have finals so maybe they took that into consideration. Still, working only 3 hours a week sucks major balls around holiday shopping season. |

Ah Valid, I'm guessing you work in retail.
I work in a grocery store which sucks even more

Nay, I work in retail also but I'm an odd one and enjoy the challenge.
Mardy customers, long hours and minimum wage (even for a Duty Manager) doesn't really bother me. Working is good for the soul. The Virgo in me loves it. |

I understand where you're coming from. My mom is a virgo as well, she is one hell of a workaholic! But how do you stand the ridiculous amount of people asking you the most unnecessary questions?!
I should take up yoga. Maybe that'll simmer my temper down... |

Well, I blog - or throw private tantrums in the stockroom.
 My poor boyfriend'll most likely get an earful too... |

Haha. The stockroom is my favorite place to be! Everyone sings along with the 80s music that plays. Customer free is the way to be

If it weren't for people, our jobs would be the best in the world.
But people make or break your day. From all walks of life, working in retail is like reading chapters of each persons' life. I could write a book on it. True, it would be cynical and cruel as people are stupid and the dreaded customer even more so... |

Oh! That just reminded me that writing a book might be a career path I'd consider. I think I'd feel SO accomplished to write a book.

I actually like my job. Sometimes I get a headache from being around too many little kids but its worth it overall.

I've been there once, and it was INSANE. Don't you have to go through the whole process with the kids? Like tell them to put all their love in the little heart before it gets sewed in?

Their parents take them through the whole process. If its a party then we have too. Usually we just rotate at each station. Yea the little heart thing you do when your stuffing. After you start working there more its not really insane. Only the guests think its insane.

I don't want to be unemployed. I was saying that I wanted to quit my job and get a better one. But that's probably not happening for a while.

I work in a pharmacy. I have worked in several, and I just can't take it anymore.
It's a good job, and they usually pay pretty well. I just have a VERY low tolerance for stupidity and it seems like every person that comes in is even dumber than the last. |

If I got fired, it would probably suck not getting paid every week. But I'd feel more motivated to get a better job.

Customer free is the way to be customers can be such bitches  i work in a restaurant so i waitress/cashier/bake all at once. there's usually two people waitressing/working bakery cashier/baking per shift. the chick i was supposed to work with today got fired in front of me (she was late ten minutes and the managers found her in her car, feet out the window, in uniform, making out with her boyfriend?)... and i got to wait on the whole damned restaurant alone tonight. part of the job's giving out fresh bread every 5-10 minutes and there's always some a-hole who asks for bread before it's ready, then when i personally bring his table bread before anyone else, he says "i wanted it three minutes ago, not now."  i'm getting kind of sick of my job because the store manager assigns whoever i'm working with to something else a LOT and then says "yeah i let you work alone cuz i know you're better than everyone else at it. dang you're cool" the only things i love about my job nowadays would be perfecting the food and the other manager that's usually never around much because he's in college... and most of my coworkers :( |
