Fuck ice cream, and fuck the people who feel the need to get it at 10 at night.

I have a feeling you and I wouln't get on at night. I make most purchases late in the night when I'm too drunk to be allowed money.
Anyway I don't hate my job. I hate being unemployed though.

I don't care about drunks/druggies, they're funny as fuck.
It's the people with bigass families who feel the need to walk in while I'm in the middle of closing that piss me off.

Being a customer service drone wage slave i empathise.
My hatred of my job burns as redly as the star of the soviet union.

Hated the last job I had... it was a 'charitable' organisation which was little more than a nice title to get as many grants as possible, the manager was a self-absorbed petty bourgeois bastard.

I could potentially like my job under different circumstances. I hate not having much money, benefits that have steadily decreased since I began working, and lack of a union and voice at my job-site.
I wonder if being a radical makes it harder - it's like having to cross the desert on foot when you know there is a flight you could be taking if only you had a ticket. I hated jobs before I was political too, but my hatred was more directed at customers and I thought that problems I ran into were just "because people are too stupid". Now I think I have a better understanding of where that frustration comes from.
Still being a radical in an non-unionized workplace where the majority of co-workers don't think we'd be able to win a union, is a little like thinking about ice-cream flavors all day but not being able to eat any.

Holy damn do I hate my fucking job.
I wash dishes for 9 hours a day three days a week and occassionally I work 14 hours if someone doesn't show up to take my place. Only thing I could find in this shitty US economy.
I thought it wouldn't be that hard when I first took it but it's alot harder than it sounds. I don't get any breaks either. My only hope is that people stay at home rather than go out, like yesterday, we had 20 people for lunch, easy shit. But more often than that we have 40-60 people for lunch, and when I work nights we have 50-100 people for dinner. Shitty shitty shit shit shit.

I like the work i do i hate the shitty pay though and that sometimes we have to do shitty tasks like cleaning up stuff that has been neglected for years.
Fuck just a few months ago the municipality had us clean an abandoned garden and we "discovered" an entire shed large enough to stand in and reach up and still not being able to touch the roof and that all between the weeds that obscured the shed from view while only 8 meters from the road.
Its moments like that when i ask myself why we even bother if nobody gives a damn about such places.

I don't know anyone at my restaurant that likes their job. Myself included...although there was a time when I actually did. In recent months, useless rules and difficult standards passed down from all levels of the company's managerial heirarchy have made liking the job practically impossible.
And surprise visits from an uptight, rule-crazy district manager ten minutes after we close is tons of fun, too. The man stretches hour and a half closes into three hours.

Not if he's being sacked it isn't.
As much as i loathe my current circumstances in my dead end job it beats the hell out of living under a windy cold bridge that stinks of dog piss.

You lucky, lucky bastard.
Today is the day :P
Not if he's being sacked it isn't. Nah, I resigned. It's a little odd because I felt a sense of pride to have gotten a job (being broke in Florida all the time wasn't funny/nice and didn't want to live off my parents at all) and feeling similarly about my resignation.
Going back to the island and get a job there for the summer.
Perhaps there's one waiting for me already. (My last one working at a housing NPO, see now this is a job I can feel good about...I'm working at a place that helps people get housing!)
If not, I'll just put my resume out there and either work in the Caribbean's biggest mall or some tourist-related industry where they would need a bilingual white-looking (I heard reports/studies or something about how the tourism industry in the Caribbean seemed to hire "whiter" people than the majority of the population...not sure if it's true in PR.) Puerto Rican.
Also, perhaps some skills/job training-certification so when I come back in Florida I could get a better job. Although to be honest I would settle for working as a bartender at this outdoor mall place near my university. I already have the place in mind.
My hatred of my job burns as redly as the star of the soviet union.
Quite a poetic expression - i'd rep that.
When i was working, i didn't hate my job but i hated why i had to work and that i was being robbed by not being paid according to the value of my labour.

It isn't the worst job. That "honor" is reserved for Wal-Mart. I worked there about three months and they fired me for "theft." Yeah right. WHY the fuck would I steal $100 out of a drawer when my checks were $300+ every two weeks. Wal-Mart is so lucky their workers aren't unionized. Shit like that wouldn't fly if they were unionized. Apparently they had me "on tape" pocketing the money but refused to show it to me.
My job works with my school schedule but outside of that, it seems like the unspoken rule, whether you're part-time or full-time, is that you're not supposed to ask for days off. Goodness forbid you have shit to do outside of work.
Most days I am bored out of my mind and I try to surf the internet but I'm also paranoid about them watching what sites I visit. Major cognitive dissonance there, I know.
In any case, considering the horrible economic climate in the U.S., I am grateful to have my job. It pays OKAY but I could be doing the same thing at another company making more per hour AND receiving benefits (they give benefits to part-time AND full time people). When they have positions open up, I plan on applying.
I found it funny my friend posted she received a $175 bonus at work. I asked her how she did that. "We have standards and I met them." She works in a call center doing collections. I told my mom, "So she received a bonus from her job for doing her job correctly?:blink: Most places these days consider see your 'bonus' as you keeping your job."
