Work Wars

So, we all know how great choop's job is... but what makes your work better than everyone else's???

 

My place of employment just announced that it will be taking the students that are working there seasonaly on a "booze cruise" if you will.  It will be a river boat tour with margaritas and a taco buffet. 

 

now granted, tequila + taco buffet + boat might be a bad idea, but it's still free tequila.  It's on a tuesday night too... and chances are I'll hit up the bars nearby afterwards.  I have to take it somewhat easy as all of my bosses will be on the boat as well... but afterwards... who knows. 

 

 

 

 

This can be considered good or bad depending on the work environment you like. Depending on the day, you can hang out and do nothing in the store for anywhere from 15 min to 2 hours. Some people would find it boring but we have broadband internet and air conditioning so it's not too bad. Plus you can make a lot of money if you actually put forth an effort to sell people stuff they don't need.

So drinking trip with rambs, how can we top that?

My job isn't great, but it could definitely be worse. I work overnight stocking the grocery department at a Schnucks here. I am the only white person who works overnight, not just my department. Bakery clerk, overnight porters, grocery clerks and night managers.. we have a ball.

rambs won't be there... just my supervisors and some secretaries...

my jobs pretty good, i work with my neighbors son, hes a plumber. i do little stuff, get tools from the truck, cut pipe, connect stuff. pays 10/hour on the books, only thing that sucks is i have to be up at 430 every morning, and leave at 5 to be at work by 6, but we leave at 2, so we head back to the shop and i usually get home around 330

I work for my cities utility dept.  Some days I drive around in a truck through my city not doing much. 

Other days I might be out with some co workers breaking up a catch basin that need to be fixed and re poured. (breaking up the road and the entire basin which is usually 5 feet deep.  Sometimes shorter and deeper) Or maybe taking the vactor to clean catch basins that have a lot of junk on the bottom.

Heres a vactor thats like ours. Ours is orange. 

Its a truck thats like a gigantic vacuum cleaner that has the sole purpose in life to suck crap.  It has enough power to get your head stuck in the tube or take a glove right off your hand.  Just wash your hand after you use it and never touch it without gloves.


thats what I mean by a catch basin but usually they are circular and one the side of the road.

Sometimes I get to drive a dump truck like this and blacktop the roads we tore up to fix the pipes under the road.


A couple of days ago we put in 2 brand new fire hydrants on one of the streets in the middle of town. 

All of the creeks that go under the streets get jammed when it rains hard so we get to climb down there and clear those out.

Pay is alright and all the people I work with are really cool.  Really laid back too as long as you get your work done.

I get paid $10/hr to sit and watch corn fill wagons. Then take it to town, repeat. But then I have 4 random weeks of non stop baling mayhem, which sucks. My job has ups and downs.

i'm starting work at a computer place next week. i went to check it out, and i can guarantee that half the guys working there are in their mid 30's and haven't seen a pair of boobies off the computer screen in their entire life, and will probably die virgins. only good thing is $15 bucks an hour for organizing computer parts, so yea. and i only work there a few days a week.

Software engineer. Great pay, flexible hours, mad respect.

That is all.

I'm an IT student assistant for the University. I just started a few weeks ago. It's pretty cool so far.
