How do you make a living?, Whats your job? Options

I work as a security guard for 4 office buildings in the downtown area, betweenthe 4 are about 60 floors. Some nights I'm on patrol and others in operations. I've been with the company for over 4 years and worked at verious other places.

I'm pretty much a slack. (For now anyway)

Although I always like work on my friends cars whenever they need it. They'd be in trouble if I weren't around to fix up their ghetto rides.

I work in an auto parts store (family owned) as a stock/part puller/Computer Tech.

I don't get paid for the comp tech though, I just do it cause computers are badass.

It's an awesome job where we all make fun of eachother racially and ethnically. It makes the day fly buy and I don't feel like I'm even working, I feel like I'm just fucking around all day with cool people.

Whenever anyone calls to place an order the pick up the phone and just start talking as if they were talking to somone who didn't matter. "Yea? You need more fucking breaks? Ok I'll send it out when I get the chance. Oh? You need it rigth away? Well it's first come fisrt serve asshole."

Man it's fun as hell

Esoteric medical testing on human specimens.
I work in specimen receiving which is basically the low end of the ladder, but it's a good company to work for and I like the job. I work with good people.
Basic description of my job: unload samples from boxes, order the tests the clients want run. Stick a bar code on the paperwork they give us and the sample and get it to the lab where it is tested.
While we do just about every medical test thought possible our retroviral (HIV, Hepititus, Epstein-barr, herpes-simplex) testing is probably the best known and most used.
I work nights, straight 7 days one week, followed by a 7 day off period. Any given night I see a few hundred blood component samples (serum/plasma), a few dozen urine samples, a few Spinal fluid sample, a bone marrow here and there and fecal sample (which ALWAYS come in interesting containers) and viral samples (which...thanks to wonderful people not packing their airborne infectous samples seperate from the rest have exposed me to a fun variety of diseases).

I am website manager of the above two organizations (they are one entity, with two marketing brands). It's unique because it's aimed at those 55 and older, so I have to design for a COMPLETELY different mindset. Older people (the average is 72) just do not see technology as we do, they did not grow up with it, nor it with them, therefore things that we take for granted, they do not. It's a great challenge and I enjoy it. Wish I could say I enjoy my work situation completely, but commute to Boston and my boss make that tough.

My real work is

I go to my other job to relax.

... Seriously.

Oh, and I'm degreed in meteorology, but that sucked hours wise, so I don't do that anymore. However I am still a weather geek. I helped create this site:

That was a fun time in my life.

I work part-time as a receptionist at a medical office. It's a pretty hectic and annoying job, but my boss is the nicest guy in the world, so that makes up for it, as does the salary :D I swear.. you meet some of the stupidest people when employed at a place that deals primarily with people. We once got a very pissed off message of some guy yelling like crazy that he has been calling for the last few days, and has not been called back. With all the temper tantrums and swearing, he didn't even leave a name and number. Nice. Ever wonder why you're never called back, dumbass?

I'm also considering getting a second job as a writing tutor at my school, which is what I did last year. I still walk into the Learning Center occasionally to hang out with my old co-workers between classes, and they're all comic book geeks like me, so I feel right at home there.

I work 2 jobs, one being a Homeowned Photgraphy studio in which i take care of retouching and such, nice job, since its my parents i work whenever i want, get paid for the hours i worked same day, and no taxes taken out of the job, not to mention the pay rocks.

Aside from that my other job is part time at an EBGames, which entitles that i listen to the dumbest video game illiterate people alive. i love my job there, but seriously, you just have to wonder how someone cna be so.........i'm sorry but fucking retarded.


i'll leave one prime example of the dumb thief and another idiot whom i'm hoping was just having a stupid day.

Dumbest thief ever:

kid walks into store, all games on the floor are gutted (no games in them) child around 13 steals 2 or 3 cases, returns to the store and complains the was nothing inside the games he had just stolen.

And the other fella is a regular so i assumed he was smarter, but he returned a PC game because it didn't work in his XBOX




And then finally, as much as i love my job, i can't stand listening to all the xbox enthusiast push the game which is (by all means) the bane of my existance, Halo. ; ;



but ah yah, thats what i do for a living ;)

I'd hardly call it a living, but I work on my college campus at an open-use computer lab. I basically just sit up at the front and help students whenever they have questions. It's a pretty easy job and, consequently, it doesn't pay much. But it gets me by from week to week. Plus I work in the college of education, and that is 90% female. I have no complaints.
