Jobs suck

Damn I hate my job. I know it isn't much to bitch about, I walked in to work this morning at 7 am. They told me, "Oh we're training somebody else for what you have been doing." I was pissed, first they don't even interview for the position that I have been doing and then they move me back to answer phones. Not only that they said come back at the scheduled time that you are supposed to come in. So 4 and a half hours later I am supposed to go in. I called in sick. Interviewed for a new job and took a urine test for drugs. So I don't know if I actually got this new job or not, but I don't feel like going to my job anymore. Anyone who might live in the Austin area want to give me a job or know anyone that is hiring?

I feel for you dude, jobs can suck, but believe it or not it gets better. I'm assuming you're young, but put some time in a field you love and it will pay dividends down the road. I have been in HR for 14 years now, and it's only in the last 5 years that I have had positions I really truly enjoy and the pay to go with it.

Don't get me wrong, I like HR, and even my earlier jobs were enjoyable in some way. But working a regular job is no overnight route to success. If you want that, then start your own business or go into sales. Those are the only two fields that truly pay according to the effort you put in.

Otherwise my advice is do something you love and plan your career carefully. You're going to be working a "job" at least 50 hours a week so it's your responsibility to make good use of that time.

At least you're being an office monkey instead of cleaning a dead person's waste and feces up. It's not so bad, guy.

[INTERNET]Being an office monkey is pretty much giving up on life — put a gun to your head and save yourself the misery of being a tool for 30 years. Fuckhead.[/INTERNET]

If you didn't have such a fucking awesome job on Canada's best island this would ring hollow.

I did have a shit job working at McDonald's, I was usually on the grill, because I was slow at putting the burgers together, and no one else would do it, so I would clean the fucking bathrooms, and it would usually be me taking out the trash. I also had to take this big freaking grease barrel that smelled so horrendous that I would gag and almost throw up. I never complained though, because it was a job, and I was being paid for it.

At my college, they have internship programs for what I want to go into. I hope to get into radio so I can have a little show where I talk about movies and other stuff, and probably play the required music that I would have to play. They actually have internships for stuff like that, so that's pretty awesome, although I did hear that being in radio doesn't pay much, I always say "you've gotta start somewhere." I'm going to take the required classes in the fall so I can get the internship by next year, so I hope that I don't have a job that sucks.

Eko, just walk into a radio station and tell them you will board operate games and other shifts for them. Easiest way to get into the business since most people that have been there a while don't want to mess with it.

Look at me, making this thread relevant.

Is that what you do for a living?
