| | oh and random free bakery goods. if it's a broken cookie or the bagel slicer mutilates a bagel... there's lunch.
also when I slice bread (work in a bakery if you havent guessed.) i keep and take home the heels of the loaves for toast. The kids love the fancy breads. 
and the company doesn't care what we sample or give free to customers. happy customers makes a happy clerk!

Really awesome bosses.
One boss brings in cookies his wife makes.
I like most of our weird regulars, even the guy we call the "Wizard" who has bad personal hygiene and always buys these mystic healing/parapsychology books. Last time I saw him he claimed he knew how to cure ME and MS with salt.
& I just like books.
I can't WAIT until the summer when I can go part time again, instead of just moping around the place because of exams.

| | | I have access to thousands of films on dvd/vhs/film. I get asked to attend quality checking sessions where we check film prints before they get played in the cinema.
I can go to the cinema here for free. Access to recordings, promo materials, photos of any Australian band that has released anything.
I'm invited to special screenings and film festivals and get free tickets to see movies at the commercial cinemas. Every 3 months work pays us $200 to buy dvds/concert tickets/cds, we have to show receipts for it.
Free food pretty often because we hold conferences here and there's always left overs.

| | jesus ronette, i want your job.
i babysit in the mornings, good pay, but early.
but mine is pretty good because i only have to walk for about 2 minutes to get there, and when i arrive i can help myself to whatever food or drink i want.
then i get to sit on the couch and hang out until the kids wake up, which might be an hour or more.
they also give me really great presents- like a bag with a $50 note in it.
sometimes when i cancel they still pay me anyway  this is a big deal when i'm 18 and not in a professional job. i called in sick thismorning and it was all cool.
plus the kids are lovely a lot of the time. i mean, i like them. except when they're being shitheads.

| | | i love who i work for. he is brilliant. i learn a huge amount by what i am exposed to. i am in a position of relative power. that sounds a bit dickish but its true. i do not just sit and churn out work in an office all day. i have a pretty good office, though. i can do university work at work and he encourages that. my boss teaches me really important skills that only someone who was super experienced and fucking good at what they do/did would know. i like the people i work with. my work and what goes on around me is very interesting. i like the location.

| | lol i used to be one of those people moaning about my job. seriously, my job made me fucking miserable and actually depressed. i was too tired to do anything and it made me hate people indiscriminately. it turned me into an angry bitter cunt, to be quite frank about it.
but ANYWAY, now i work for greenpeace and i am 100% happier and this year has been so fucking incredible and i kind of think it's all because of my job. i completely believe in what we do and i only have to deal with our supporters who are pretty cool for the most part and my workmates who are fucking awesome. i pretty much love everything about my job except for the fact that it's kind of in an annoying location (i actually LOVE the location but unfortunately i live ages away from it, so obviously my HOUSE is in an annoying location lol) and sometimes i'll have unsuccessful night but to be honest they are rare. oh and also sometimes my boss can be a dick about letting me have a night off. but that's all! everything else is awesome.  |

| | | I like mine because it's always something different, and you get to spend time with lots of different people, and I'm a people person. And I get to spend hours a day helping kids do things that I personally really enjoy, and sometimes get time to do myself. I mostly find it fun.

| | Welp, someone should make a "why do you hate your job?" because that'd be so much easier for me.
Basically the things I love about my job are:
-Theres always something to do, I like to keep busy.
-The money is good.
-All of my co-workers are big party animals, so we party & suffer together on our shifts the morning afterwards.
-I always get my friends in my section (I'm a tender/waitress) and it's basically like hanging out with friends and then at the end my friends have to pay me and feel obligated to tip well That makes me sound horrible, but I'm a very generous person and our favours to each other are very circulated.
-With the proper combination of people, sometimes it doesn't feel like work at all.

| | | -because we all help each other out even when super busy and all love working together to get our shizz done
-because when we're not busy we go to the gym in the morning, get in at 10am, take a 2 hour lunch, then leave at 5. sometimes we even just drive around the rich neighborhoods just to do it, or stop by the pet shop and hold the puppies.
-because we all love to talk shit about everyone else in the office and all think we're superior to those we talk shit about and even if we're half kidding it's still fun to think that way amongst ourselves
-because i've learned more in this job that will help me in my career path than any job i've ever had |
