i love my current job. i worked my butt off for 5 years to finally get a job doing web design for an actual company, and it was better than i ever imagined. i still would like to quit and work for myself full time doing web design, but, till that can financially be feasible, then i will stay here at ITtoolbox. it is great.

not weird, and no. :beer:

Haven't really had that many jobs other than web design ones.. so I guess one that took me half an hour and earned me $200 :p.

those kind of jobs are always great.

[themoose]

Yeah :p Not many people can say that they were working $400 hours when they were 14.

Too bad it's inconsistant :(.

£100/hour for 3 weeks to sort out a companies feck ups in their IT section.

Not brilliant as jobs go but the holiday after was :biggrin2:

[utcrazy]

Best job? What I'm doing now, FOH engineer, you work for years doing grunt work like wrapping cables, and it finally pays off.

I worked for a fence company that had the softwall and retaining fence contracts for Martinsville Speedway.

So evey time a NASCAR (or Busch or anything really)race came to town, I had to go and spend the whole weekend at the track with all access VIP passes and get paid double time (almost $30/hour) just in case someone broke the fence during the race.

That was pretty sweet.

[Tree]

What I'm doing now. $25/hour working whenever I want as long as it's 8 hours a day, 5 days a week.

Okay, possibly when I worked for GEC and 'had' to be present to maintain the PA systems at Murryfield in Edinburgh for international rugby matches, with best seats, and some tickets for the family (sold the night before for huge amounts) that was in my much younger days though :)

[Ben]

I've disliked all my jobs.

Spencer Gifts was the easiest, too bad it was only seasonal (this past December). Stand around for 8 hours, make sure nobody steals anything, ring people up. Customer service = saying "Hi". It only paid $6.45 an hour, so that really sucked.

[yellowshine]

worked a boost juice for a year, low wage but good fun.

[Darknight]

Im really liking my current job working on farms some days its hard but most days your just riding bikes around everywhere chaching live stock :D
I think what I like most is nothing is ever the same.. It only really repeats its self everyyear instead of every single day like all my other jobs iv had..
I didnt mind working in the factory when I was 18.. All I had to do was sit there 6 months later I quit becuse it was sooo boring.

[[ih]Demetris]

The best job i ever had was working with Galileo International..i worked as a help desk tech, blah basically resetting passwords all day..not to mention the free stand by flight passes i got for free :D

Proper dealers dont take the drugs themselves.

[iBrightDev]

Not all that fun, really. Constant worry of cops and whatnot.
exactly why i stopped. to nerve racking. funny thing was, i have never done any drugs, just sold them. my friends that were in to selling would tell me which products were crap and good since i didnt want to do any drugs. :p

[themoose]

Voice of experience there Colin? :P

Who's askin? :p

[Decker]

Who's askin? :p

:car: meh maw meh maw!!!

MTC - too much information. See above line!

[iBrightDev]

[Ben]

I'm probably getting fired from my current job. I had to be at work at 2, and I woke up at 1:55. ----, posting on here's not making me get ready any faster.

ttyl

[iBrightDev]

haha. i dont really have a time to be at work. i normally am here at 7:30 a.m. though, so, when i am later, i freak out, like ----!!!!! I am later again dammit. but, really i am not, so, i chill out. :p i am normally later than 7:30 because of getting on here too. haha

[Decker]

Now I'm convinced this one has went to far LOL

[Wojtek]

[krakjoe]

Not all that fun, really. Constant worry of cops and whatnot.

I meant, a good drug dealer .....


He has to do something - you think all that programming is done by someone totally sober/unstoned :lol:

Sadly, that's true.....I'm rarely actually stoned because it's impossible for me to smoke enough in the space of twenty four hours to get actually stoned, I plough through nearly two ounces in a week and always buy at least an ounce ( lots of friends smoke pretty heavy too ) .....
not only can I not concentrate enough to program sober,
I can't hold a conversation,
concentrate on a television program,
I try to avoid going out totally sober because often I forget where I'm going and have to ring a taxi home before I waste more time,
I repeat myself a lot when I'm talking to other people,
I stutter trying to get simple words out, and, or, the, this, me, you, is, and mix them up a lot too,
I can't hold down food for more than a couple of hours,
I sweat profusely, like a heroin addict withdrawing .....
I bite my fingernails like you would not believe, my hands are a disgrace ....
I tackle all these problems with one easy solution, never stop smoking ......

[Chris L.]

Joe,
Sounds like you should SLOWLY cut back until you can preform sober.
and HOLY F an oz or 2 / wk????
DAMN if you got stopped in the US, they would get you for possession w/ intent to sell, trafficing and possession of more than one oz..... Min sentence: 15 years max: life


well my fave job is Network installation: $50 - $500 / hr. Some people like to pay hourly, $50 / hr, others like to pay per completion ($100). A network installation takes a mere 15 - 20 mins :-P.

Your just happy you got a big fat pay rise.

My favourite job is being lazy.

[AMC]

.... hang about - i was under the impression joe's post was a joke ....

My favourite Job had to be working as a mechanic at an aston martin racing/restoring garage for 2 months.

The pay sucked, and most of the time it was boring as hell. But helping to build a classic DB 5 from chassis up and then getting to take part in race practice of the new aston N24 at weekends, that was kinda sweet.

[Decker]

Never letting you near any of my stuff! Your talking about a home ADSL router not a flaming network.

[Chris L.]

Pfft.... I am talking about running ~ 250ft of CAT6 in an office. Setting up the router and the switch, and calling it a day...... CAT6 is EASY to fish around in commercial framing (I used to do commercial framing under the table with my dad).

haha, nah, i loved it before that, but yeah, i just found out today that i get a fatty bonus; :D

[Darknight]

lol, I thought i was bad smoking about 3/4th oz in 7 days :S

sounds alot like me

I stutter trying to get simple words out, and, or, the, this, me, you, is, and mix them up a lot too,
I can't hold down food for more than a couple of hours,
I bite my fingernails like you would not believe, my hands are a disgrace ....
I gave up that life now though
I dont smoke it anymore..
EDIT: But I still bite the crap out of my hands.

[Tree]

Sadly, that's true.....
I sweat profusely, like a heroin addict withdrawing .....
I bite my fingernails like you would not believe, my hands are a disgrace ....

If you aren't joking, either you've got some serious health problems or that isn't weed you're smoking.

Gimme sum dat crackajuana!

[krakjoe]

To clarify, I was joking when I said the best job I ever had was "drug dealer", the rest sadly is not a joke .......

[Blank Verse]

When I was Sammy J., I was in Shaft. I played Shaft. It was my job to run down drug dealers. But with...you know, like soul and stuff.

You hear that joe?

[Kaliber]

Working in a juice factory as a forklift driver here, $29/hour and because of all the stuffups there is alot of downtime, which just involves talking to the other guys.

My job when the factory is actually working only has a little work involved, but is crucial to production. awesome

That is a good wage, in UK £14-15/hour converted from that.

Loads of folks here think £5-£7/hour is okay, £12-15 is good going, for what is thrown at anyone looking for work.

[Kaliber]

It is quite good, about double of the avg non skilled job here. The economy here where i live is ridiculous because of a resource boom, so labour type jobs are being way over paid.

Not to mention the job is easy and fun.

Oh well, hopefully this can support me til uni is finished

Hope they can too, for those feeding a family too.

Sorry for being down but lots of ...... here ;)

[Chris L.]

I changedededed my mind. My best job was being a Commercial Framer. I wish I learned residential.

[jahed]

im a laywer and its not so bad after you get your years salary of upto 50,000 and more!

[NeedScriptHost]

My favourite school class is English.

[Troy1]

I work at a paper company in Scranton Pennsylvania called Dunder Mifflin. Our boss is kind of a jerk, always showboating and thinking he's so funny. On the bright side you can do pretty much whatever you want and still get paid, as long as you don't hurt his feelings.

[TSO]

I love my current job, which is managing my Internet company. :)
