"It Would be so Much Fun to Work Here!" Said the Idiot

[cashierbex]

One of my managers little girls came in and helped with our truck while waiting for the manager to get off. We weren't breaking any labor laws. It was cute. But she thought it was fun. I told her, wait till she gets a job and does it every week. See how much fun you will have then. Other than that no customer dares to say that to us. They get a sarcastic remark from me especially.

Yeah, but they're 20% cooler

Fluttershy is best pony.

She is, isn't she?

...yay!

[Mytical]

Am I the only one who likes Princess Luna? Um I mean...look its the flying porcupine! *flees*

On topic ... Its like security. Yes it is a very easy job..it is also one of the most boring, tedious, and omg I am going to bounce off the walls if something doesn't happen soon jobs..which a lot of people just do not get. Still, beats a lot of jobs by a mile.

Wait, so you give them enemas?

I did get to hold one a kitten at the pet shop once. It then kept trying to climb over my shoulder.

XD To clean out a rabbit means to clean out its cage. Some cages held more than one rabbit; imagine the shit. O_o

And Rarity's the best pony. Just sayin.

My husband is a software engineer, and he loves doing that TYPE of work...but he still has to work for an employer on projects they want him to do, and work with other people he may like personally but still have creative or other differences with. So even he doesn't have an ideal job, even with working mostly at home. I envy him having a skill that he enjoys and can make a living from, but the actual job...not so much. (He readily admits he wouldn't last a week at my call center...lol.)

I love data entry, myself.

I've got a job that's the exact opposite of what people think would be fun. However, unlike most other people, I can honestly say that I've never had a day in 16 years where I didn't want to go into work due to anything work-related.

Despite what my previous post may have indicated, I prefer Pinkie Pie. Just because of how random she can be

[EricKei]

Even if you did, you would get tired of it PDQ.

It's my understanding that a formerly local, but now national, fried chicken chain actually takes advantage of this (their namesake and ostensible mascot is a certain spinach-chugging sailor, tho he only appears on in-restaurant wallpaper these days) -- AFAIK, employees are allowed to take home as much chicken as they want, any time they want, for free, as long as it doesn't noticeably affect the amount of food available to sell to paying customers. They have to keep track of it in the log, but the thing is this -- within a couple weeks of feeding their families and friends for free, most people don't ever wanna eat fried chicken again ^_^ And thus, actual food theft is all but eliminated as a result. (They just write off the giveaway food)

PinkiePie FTW! (as if you couldn't guess that from my avatar). So wonderfully random. I will admit that Fluttershy-the-closet-badass is a close second.

I've almost developed a nervous tic when the teachers who I support (I AM the IT department for a middle school, 11-14 year olds for you non Americans) say "wow, it must be so fun to work with computers all day!"

For the most part, it can be.

But......

FUN = the challenge of making sure that I am ahead of the game in regards to maintenance, ordering supplies, knowing where stuff is, learning tips & tricks.

NOT FUN =

Rodents chewing through 3 of the 6 fiber optic lines that carry all electronic communications to our brand new 28 million dollar school.....and people constantly nagging me about when it will be fixed, despite my announcements of what was going on and that when it comes back up they would be told.

Students deciding it is acceptable to rip keys off of laptops - and even ripping off the rubber nubs underneath, requiring a new keyboard.

A boss that somewhat frequently expects me to pull answers out of my posterior in about .03 seconds.

Teachers who don't think they need to return computers in the condition that they were checked out.

Students thinking that because I am not a teacher, I don't need to be paid attention to when I tell them to do something. (Actually, it IS fun telling the students "awww, it's so CUTE how you think you have a say in this matter!")

[An Haddock]

She is, isn't she?

...yay!

Internet bro-hoof!

LOTS of people think "HEY delivering pizza is the easiest job in the whole wide world".

Yes there are aspects of the job that are fun
1., I can listen to anything on the car radio/stereo
2. my interactions with customers is brief

BUT

the downsides are
1. I have to drive for a living. this means in ALL (and I mean ALL) weather conditions whether 6 inches per hour blizzard, flooded roads, the boiling heat of summer, the sub-zero bone chilling cold of winter, ice covered roads, pouring rain or the 40-day-and-40-night rainstorm, and dense can't see past my front end fog.

2. I have to drive for a living. This means I HAVE to deal with all of the OTHER people on the road. Impared drivers (take your pick as to their imparement), texting drivers, drivers on the phone arguing with their SO, the stereo-typical white hair and knuckles drivers, drivers who think it is funny or fun to mess with delivery drivers, drivers who IMHO NEED to be seriously retrained on the rules of the road, and drivers who think the speed limits and raod rules are mere suggestions.

3. I have to drive for a living. that means stupid pedestrians, insane bicyclists, inatentative persons from both groups, and people who think I can stop a 4000 pound car on a dime. and then there are the animals. not yet happened but I have come very very close to squishing Fluffy or Spot

4. now when it comes to a customers house/location. I have to deal with toys, dogs, doggie landmines, dog chains/cables/clotheslines, bags of trash, trash not in bags, rotting stinking putrid smelling ready to throw up trash, piles of beeer cans or bottles, rickety staircases, poorly lit or not lit at all staircases, ice covered walkways/sidewalks/driveways, foot deep puddles of water, dark back yards and parking lots, muddy all soil walkways/driveways, steps/stairs that need to be condemned.

customers that think nothing of leaving for some "quick stuff outside of the home", can not hear me ringing the doorbell or "cop" knocking, customers that wantsome of that quicky lovin from their SO/drugdealer/fuckbuddy, drunks that pass out, gotta keep looking at the llama pron on the computer, partying SOOOOO FRACIN loud you could wake the deadest zombie back to real life

Job aspects inside of the store
1. ALLLL of the cleaning, sweeping, mopping, dishes, prep, and trash that needs to be taken care of before you can evern THINK about go home.
