Work in retail selling over-priced clothes to clueless people who think they can buy style..
like $9.5 p.h, part time, no weekends. Yes i get to serve, help and stare at total gorgeous chicks all day as 90% of the female customers are sexy but its hell when you're single, like a slow torture...
Not the worst job in the world i admit but fawk, makes me realise i need a g/f bad! annoy:

I fix other peoples mistakes on a bulk receiving dock. Basically we get product in each night, i take large quantities palletize them and make them go away. I work 4 days, 10 hours, 10pm to 8am. The 3 days i dont work all the empty space i manage to make is wasted by the asshat who covers those days. So i walk back in sundays to a mess all over again. Then im expected to fix all the shit the other guy makes.
Then other teams, day side and a seperate backstock team put shit in the wrong places, or just do it fucking lazily. Then bitch about how shitty it looks. Then im ordered to fix that, i do, a week later its torn to shit. Training is a joke, since you can tell them 20582305 times how to do it and they still wont. The day side is the worst because they fuck shit up, or leave it for us to do, then if we dont we get blamed for creating it.
For $12.00 its not really worth it, but minimum wage is like $7.50 something. So id have to work 2 jobs to make a little more than what i do now. Considering i only work 4 days vs two jobs 5 days each, im kinda fucking stuck.

HAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAH AH
I brought up the lackings in my weekend coverage 2 years ago, i was told he was improving. I continue to point out his lackings every week. Most noticably when they try to blame shit on me; and i have to tell them i didnt even receive the pallet, that i wasnt even there on the day it came in.
Im more of a leader in my work place than my leaders. I've been told to promote by many peers, but refuse because its even more assinine at that level than the one im at.

To make my job worse is that i take the bus both ways which cost $5 bucks a day. Also, my mother works 4 floors above me so she always has the need to talk to me.

I do data entry at a for-profit university. I started off as a temp last September making $12 an hour and now that im a perm, i make $13 doing the same shit. I enter leads for marketing. Basically, prospective students (leads) mail in surveys, questionaires and other shit that my company sends out, to inquire about what programs and classes we have. I enter in the leads info into our companys database so that a rep can call them and try to hook em. Its boring and unrewarding work, but since it involves no interraction with anyone or phonework, i can use my headphones the entire time im there. have a couple of cds with 12 hours of stand up comedy on each, so i come in, pop in some music or standup and type all day long until i go home. not too bad, but i would give both nuts to get my job at Sony back.

I am currently a metal finisher. I made the mistake of not going to college, so now I'm stuck doing this. Basically I take a metal handle or door hinge(ones you'll find on the front doors of fancy buildings, or any place with glass doors) and take it from a raw stage to a mirror finish. I mainly do the hinges for shower doors. I work on a machine which looks like a bench grinder, but much much larger..and more dangerous.
It's dirty job and it sucks ass. But we've done things for people like Micheal Jordan, Bill Gates and MTV etc.. Heck, I've even done a set of hinges for Chevy Chase myself. I guess that is one cool thing about it, but I'd much rather have a degree and a better job.
