Does Your Job Suck Too?

[SpiderMage]

Security for a mail order pharmacy(ross you might have even worked for it, ever hear of Express Scripts?)

$9.25/hour, 40 hours a week plus 8 hour over time every other week.

Two graveyard shifts(three for overtime week), Wed and Thurs(Tues is OT), both 8 hour shifts(10 pm to 6 am)
Two weekend shifts, Sat and Sun, 6 am to 6 pm

I basically get paid to patrol for 5 - 10 minutes every hour and glance at moniters from time to time, save the once in a while tasks of badges and telling people not to be stupid and enter the pharmacy when the alarm is on.

I draw, read, talk on the phone and watch dvds. Been here for a year on the 11th of this month, not my favorite thing to do but it gives me about $600 every two weeks(I made more at Target at $6.25/hour because of all the OT and getting paid every week)

Not bad at all actually, even though you are the reason USA is in debt, I salute you. I could definitly make a living off that per week.

You have to at least pretend to look for work in order to keep receiving checks. So I've just called a few places and been like "Are you hiring right now? No? Okay, thanks." Believe me, I'm not proud of living off of unemployment, but with the horrible economy in this town there's not much choice, at least until they can make room for me to go back to work at my old job.

My job rocks. I work at a science museum.

My day consists of the following:

• Riding/playing with a Segway
• Several Tesla coils (voltage >2 million)
• Several Van de Graaff generators
• Liquid Nitrogen
• HCl (aq) + Zn (s) -> ZnCl (aq) + H (g)
• Igniting the newly created Hydrogen (see above)
• Inhaling Helium and singing
• Burning Magnesium
• Debating on dumping Mg (s) into HCl (aq)
• Controlling an Einstein robot on a tricycle
• Launching paper rockets hundreds of feet
• Free IMAX films

Always great to see someone doing what they like to do

I'm a terminal operator with the largest privately owned rail company in Australia. Currently my job consists of processing every truck that brings freight in and out of a our newly relocated Sydney line.

Pros:

• I'm pretty much my own boss during the day because my bosses themselves are located in the main offices almost a kilometre down the road.
• The work is pretty easy, mainly data entry and keeping logs.
• I make no less than $1000 a week

Cons:

• No less than 9.25 hours a day, six days a week. It's rather tiring and the mental strain does get to you.
• Fucking customers calling up every fifteen minutes wondering why their trucks are not being loaded/unloaded. I end up making excuses, most of which are bullshit, because frankly I haven't got a fucking clue what goes on outside.

It doesn't suck, but it can be stressful when you're not properly informed of every single thing that is happening throughout the day.

i work for my mom. in a brilliant display of the schoolboard's remarkable efficiency, they hired the only dyslexic woman in the entire schoolboard system to manage the special ed accounting department. in exchange for my silence, she pays me $100 for every bill i write up, even if it's for a pack of $25 bibs that they bought for the drooly kids.

For the amount of work I do, it's amazingly high-paying.

As my bio clearly states, the government is supporting my white trash ass with unemployment checks. So I sit around all day playing a spaceship game for $336 a week.

I doubt many people here could make the equivalent of that in a week.
