Well I just got back from the Wal Mart interview, after many calls and many mishaps, and I think I did fairly well, even though the interviewer kept marking down Ineffective on his little papers. gonk And if I do somehow manage to get the job, I'll have to work the night shift. (10 pm-7am gonk ) So, I ask you, have thre ever been any times in your life where you've busted your hump at your job, or even just to get one?

Koiyuki Well I just got back from the Wal Mart interview, after many calls and many mishaps, and I think I did fairly well, even though the interviewer kept marking down Ineffective on his little papers. gonk And if I do somehow manage to get the job, I'll have to work the night shift. (10 pm-7am gonk ) So, I ask you, have thre ever been any times in your life where you've busted your hump at your job, or even just to get one? Oh man, yeah, I remember that once, I ended up opening the Ming Ong computer lab for the first time, but the person who opens Ming Ong also has to open Crown (which is an unattended lab). I had read the rulebook, but it had said that the "staff opens Crown" on weekdays. So, I, blithely unaware that I was being stupid, simply opened Ming Ong. I got a call from the manager and he told me that someone was complaining that the Crown door was locked, and so I ran all the way over there only to find out that the door wasn't working at all. The lock had malfunctioned and the class was stuck outside. I got into a bit of trouble for that, but I was glad to learn that first so I would never do it again. And, really, my employers appreciated that I learn from my mistakes and never usually do the same thing twice. The only other job that really REALLY sucked was my job at the video store. My boss was this short ratty looking guy with bloodshot eyes who would look down my shirt like a nasty old man. He would talk like a mob boss at me, like he could give me cement shoes if I did one thing wrong. He chewed me out in front of a customer for making an honest mistake about a sale item, and he would come in at random intervals just to make sure we were "doing something." I never felt more paranoid and scared than at my job there. Luckily, I was able to quit when I got the job with the card store. They were a bit nicer, as long as I was friendly and light with people.

I busted my hump working for my dad for tele-sales in fears that I'll get into lots of public pain and the sort. Ended up being the best and now, the job I hate the most, my dad keeps offering me whenever I'm on vacation sweatdrop
There is nothing more mundane and annoying than regurgatating the same old goobledegook over and over again and getting hit on by middle-aged men offering to buy you fish and chips, this apparently being such a powerful seduction technique coming from the 2nd to 3rd in charge of the company sweatdrop

I have held my job at FedEx Kinkos now for about 8 months, and when I started out, it was pretty simple and enjoyable. Now, I regularly bust my a** to do everything by the oh-so-screwed-up-and-insane guidelines, which by the way are created by people who of course never acctually have to follow them because they don't acctually do the work themselves. And half the time we get customers who want us to do something that either we don't have the equipment to do, is illegal (can we say copyright violations up the a**?), or plain impossible, and then getting angry at us even when we explain to them what is wrong way before hand.
The only sollice is that I just got promoted with a decent pay-raise, although the level of responsability of course is going up.

I worked at a haunted house over halloween, and my job was to scare people in a section that invoved a fairly high inflatable wall that I often jumped on.
Long story short, I tried to jump on top of it, but I pulled a groin muscle, so I kinda rolled off grabbing myself.

I had 2 night shifts at a supermarket before, both were pretty bad, the first one I quit rather fast cause it messed with my sleep cycle which is worse of an epileptic like me. The second time I lasted longer and I got to learn alot about facing and other nitpick things at a supermarket. I am currently looking for a new job, hopefully not night shift, or a supermarket. Wal-Mart sounds a bit better, though I have heard rumors that they treat their employees pretty bad. I left an application a few months ago as well as a few other places.

So, I'm now hunting for jobs, and my first one's this weird NDA'd (as yet) deal with a youth-oriented marketing company. This should prove interesting, to be sure...
