800$ a month, im 17, a highschool junior, no car no insurance, just straight cash, no bills...i think thats pretty good. my dad makes around 800$ per job, which is like per week, depending how the job is. 800-1200, depending on the job and time.

[Drew]

Yeah. I net about $1100-1200 a month after a 16% 401k pre-tax contribution and then tax deductions.

Iam a busperson in the buffet at a casino
I clean tables, and help with the servers as much as i can, rearrange tables to accomadate for large parties, tables weight like 100 lbs easy....Servers are suppose to get the large dinner plates, and leave the bowls cups etc. for me to get.....i push a cart, with 3 big plastic tubs, a trash can and a little trashcan looking thing for the silverware and my cleaning solution(soap water)

1) I want to take the plates off your table lady - FALSE
I take your plates, which fills my cart up faster, thus causing me to have to go to the back to dump my cart, thus causing me to get behind on dirty tables, thus causing servers to lose money because without customers they get no tips..

2) Servers get paid well they don't need tips - False, servers make 4.50 / h which by standards is pretty good, but after tax they make maybe 3.50/h and then many of them at the end of the year have to pay back tax, one guy told me tonight he owes 800 bucks....another guy owes like 2k......ouch
- SERVERS NEED TIPS, that's how they make thier money.

3) Restraunt food is fresh - false i don't know what buffet you went to jack, but you think they are going to throw away 200 bucks in prime rib just cuz it's old......ha

4) Bussers are mindless dolts - false ..(well i can name a few that are dumber than a doornail) ...though cleaning tables is a mindless chore, iam actually fairly intellegent, it's just the only job i could get with no expereince...

5) Gambling is a diease - True.....everyone has that "get rich quick" mentality walking in and that "oh god i just spent my childs savings" mentality walking out. These people have nothing better to do with thier retirement money than at a slot machine....it's sad really..

6) The casino always wins - true, yet you might walk out with twice what you came in with if your good at blackjack, but if every tom dick and harry that came in, walked out with 2x what he started, would the casino still be open? doubt it, in the long run you will lose, no matter what game your playing, if you win, leave.........or start the game with 20 bucks in your right pocket, winnings go in your left, when you run out of the 20 bucks, take what you won and run......that's how they get ya...

Whoever thought that? Ffs, everyone knows that servers make jack shit, thats why you pretty much have to tip.

[elitecloud]

you'd be surprised how many people don't, it's the most cold blooded thing man

you bust your balls to meet thier needs ( extra napkins - refills drinks w/e ) and they leave you with 63 cents, or nothing......

or when you have a big table, i had like an 8 top the other day, i spent about all my time on them, they were so demanding, to the point that other customers were pissed because i couldn't make it to them because i was stuck on the big table...

they didn't leave me a penny, i was so pissed i wanted a cigarette, and i don't smoke... oOo:

Long story short, I work at [url=http://www.sykes.com/:ef442]Sykes[/url:ef442], which is a product/technical support outsourcing company. I work on the Telia Internet & Broadband section, and all I do is answer the phone and listen to pissed of customers all day. Pays pretty neat, can get close to $1400/month, but rent isnt that neat: about $460/month, and its a oneroomer in a tiny little shitsociety. But thats over for another 7,5 months, since Im in the army now (which is considered a job aswell here).


My part in the army then: Well, its actually the airforce, and my position is Squad Leader for a surveillanve, guarding and strikeforce. Our job is to make sure that no-one that should be on the base gets in, that no-one without proper papers gets in to any of the protected buildings and I also do some of the job that SWAT do over in the US: as soon as we get an alarm from a building, we go in with loaded guns and search the place.
My current rank would be similar to Private in the US I suppose, and in a couple of weeks ill be LCpl. Olofsson for you brits, and Cpl. Olofsson for the yanks. When my service is over, ill be Cpl. Olofsson for the britts, and you yanks dont have a corresponding rank (Furir is the Swedish one). Anyways, its a lousy pay, but the gvt. pays the rent.

You know, people have given me a call and the problem was that they hadnt plugged the fucken comp in. Ive even had people without monitors and keyboards. hake:

PS. Get on MSN you prick. biggrin:

[Unknown_Sniper]

reminds me of when the principle of my high school had a problem with her computer. MY teacher went to check it out. turn out she didnt have the comp plugged in. He asked her why that was and she said "I thought we just switched to wireless"
He politely told her that electriciy cant be sent via wireless yet and that it only refers to the internet. He walked out of her office back into the class room and started laughing.
