Title explains it.

My job is a Newspaper delivery boy of Chino Hills California.

Its a fun job. I get payed 700 dollars per month. Quick and easy job which i love. (Yes i quit Best Buy) And you get to meet strange,funny,nice and mean people on the job. Especially the 4 am drunk drivers that hit the streets. Its funny to see them crash or get pulled over.

Whats your career.

    You must have a really twisted sense of humor.

    No job right now. I have an appointment on Tuesday with Pôle Emploi though (it's the organism in France that helps you find a job when you don't have one). I'll get my personal advisor to contact for help, and they'll set me up with a resume and offers and stuff like that.
    I'm looking for translation jobs, incidentally. I'll also look for anything else on the side, but if they're going to be helping me I'd rather they got me something that's worth it.

    My friend and current roommate was with them for two years before she found something - and she didn't find it through them. I'm tentatively hopeful that things will work out better with me.

    Sales Assistant at Poundland.

    It was OK before they got short on tills and put me on there. It's been a year since that happened and I am a hollowed-out shell of a man as a result.

    Seriously, I fucking hate working on tills.

    Job! Hah! I won't be able to get a nice paying job for years, after I've finished my PhD.


    ...No one wants to hire a biochemist without letters after her name anymore. T_T

    "Department Specialist" at a popular western Canadian grocery chain. No, I don't work a till and no, I don't have to put up with your shit. May seem sad to you, but I chose this. Walking distance to home so I don't have car related expenses, I keep active and busy. Screw desk jobs.

    I'm sure fellow supermarket staff will agree with me here when I say this:

    Working in a supermarket will sap all your enthusiasm and destroy your faith in humanity...

    You can't believe how irritating it is when you're on your way to a much needed break, and some stupid pillock stops you cold and asks you something stupid like "where are the burgers?" while standing right next to them, or point out a spill that has a basket over it (basket over a spill = the universal symbol that someone has noticed and covered the mess and has already called for the cleaner).

    People can be so damn stupid. I mean there are signs EVERYWHERE!!
    It takes like 3 seconds to look up and read a damn sign.
    You don't have to be Sherlock to gather than a flippin' jar of Pickled Onions is going to be in the jarred food isle.

    I got that beat. Was once asked by a lady holding a "2 for 1" coupon.... "Do I have to get 2?". I actually look forward to questions. They're amusing.

    Right seems similar to a couple of situations I've been in.

    Basically Tesco have a double up scheme, where people can trade in their clubcard vouchers, and get a new printed one in a specified department (clothing, gardening, baby stuff ect.).
    There are giant signs everywhere, pamphlets, instructions in clubcard letters (with the vouchers!)

    And people still, still don't get it.
    I've had people buy clothes, use their normal vouchers, act completely normal, then ask me afterwards about whether the vouchers have been doubled up.

    *facepalm*

    Normally I catch these fools before a transaction is complete, and I have to store the transaction, and get someone to escort them to customer services to trade up and pay for their shopping.
