I have a new job. Fuck-a-doodle-do.
Pros:
1 - No phones, and so Kara's and GK's customers cannot torment me.
2 - I don't have to talk to people. Interact with them? I guess. But talking to them (e.g. "how was your day? thank you for shopping! have a wonderful, super-duper day!") is actually discouraged in my position.
3 - I get free admission to lots of events and sports games as part of my payment.
4 - I also get lots of free stuff (e.g. giveaways and the like) before the general public.
5 - I may eventually get "paid" in product from a certain affiliated company, but that's still in the works.
6 - Short commute.
7 - As the job involves lots of volunteer work, it's more useful as a "feel good" job rather than a "make a living" job.
8 - This job is pretty much guaranteed to keep me out of trouble. I can't really drink or do anything stupid and still be able to do the job the next day, and even if I could I wouldn't due to Con#6.
Cons:
1 - I don't get paid. Not in money, anyway.
2 - I can't mention the job title, as per the job description. To anyone.*
3 - I also can't say what I do, as per the job description. Again, to anyone.*
4 - I'm not allowed to eat or drink while on the job, except during breaks which are generally about 5 minutes long and occur about every hour or two, and are closely monitored.
5 - The job is physically taxing (could be a pro, though) and I've come close to passing out before due to the strain it puts on my body. (I'm not out of shape. See the photo album.)
6 - Though it hasn't been mentioned yet, and I haven't heard of it being done, at any time my employer could randomly drug test me. I've also seen the test clinic, so I know it is done from time to time.
7 - While most people are great, every job has its sucky customers.
* Exception is given to loved ones and significant others. So the only ones who know are my parents and my girlfriend. Nobody else even knows I have a job... Except all of you. But since you don't know what my job is, it's ok.
What does this all mean? It means I will have a very unique set of sucky customers to tell you about in the near future, and because of the limitations of what I can tell you, the tales should be very interesting both to read and to write. Stay tuned!
