tell me about your job? things you love and hate. if you don't vent about your job, you'll explode.

i am a project manager at a wank wank agency. i actually love my job (i started at the agency as a receptionist, so to get to where i am now in 3 years is kinda cool. i was ****ing amazing at stacking the dishwasher).

and i have my fish, and crazy pictures around me, so i am happy. most of the time.

the guy who plays with his balls constantly gets a bit much.
the australian powersuit raises my stress levels with the heel stomping on the wooden floors, the audible sighing AND the condescending smiles.

after going to our work christmas party and crying, i just drink coffee now and keep outta people's way.

I work at a radio station doing the news. So I broadcast news bulletins and stuff. IN TODAY'S NEWS...

I love what I do but I'd also equally love to kill the morons I work with. Because I just do their work, too. Laziness ****s me.

I'm trying to work at another radio station which means doing it for free again for the moment but it might be worth it.

Some days my boss can kind of be a dick, he thinks that I am always driving the company car super crazylike and rides my *** about it, and the place is pretty well disorganized.

That said, I am 100% in love with what I do every day to the point where I have considered putting off teaching. Also, my boss is gruff but pretty much a giant sweetheart nicepants awesomehead, which I say due to the fact that when he heard yesterday that my Grandmother died Sunday, he bought me plane tickets to California for tomorrow night and gave me paid vacation for the rest of the week. So, you know, anything negative I felt toward him has pretty much been washed away and I am so happy.

Plus, everyone I work with is pretty cool. I mean one guy is sort of a horrible racist that I would never want to know socially, and one dude is as dull as dishwater and tells me EVERY SINGLE TIME he remembers that I am from California about the one time he went to SF and ate at a restaurant that claimed they had "World Famous Clam Chowder" but which he didn't think was all that great, and I am like COOL STORY BRO. But the boss is awesome, the receptionist is awesome, the nepotic Son of Bossman is pretty awesome, and the other two techs that do my job are both pretty hilarious and kinda remind me of me if I was split into two people, one with all of my brocephusness and one with all of my nerdiness.

Well, I work retail, at a huge well known used bookstore in Manhattan. Can't be bothered with all that "real job" **** quite yet...
It's pretty annoying. They pay ****, but at least there are health benefits. I have to deal with obnoxious NYC parents(I work in the kid's department). And all I do is shelve books, and enter the info into the system. Boring stuff; I spend the vast majority of my shift cruisng the interwebz (like right now...). But my manager is very cool and really laid-back.
Too bad the whole place is run by a psycho ****. But what I like the most is the fact that I can leave my job here as soon as I clock out.
Any NYC kittyradioers? Come say hi and save me from the boredom!

please elaborate on these two items. with anecdotes.


now. okay. ya'll know i teach the children of the people's republic. it's srsly a great job. i get to get to know the little ****ers really well because i see the same 23 kids like four hours a day, which is unheard of for english teachers in china. so basically my **** is the best. i love them and they love me and it's a big fat love-in. one boy, max, raises his hand every day and says "may-lee-sa, i have the most important question! [...] how are YOU?" and i just die every time.

but it's not all sunshine and daffodils, kids. i spend the other half of my day in an office with some crazy ****s. people who abandon their homelands are a mixed bag. some of us are terrific human beings having adventures and generally enjoying existence in a weird place (me) and some of us are ****ing weird. one lady, she's a first grade teacher, is just a ****ing spazz. she's always having heart palpitations over something in the news and she's often telling the parents (in earnest) that they're doing everything wrong with their children. this does not go over well. then there's the dumb worthless **** from nyc who needs to be told everything a minimum of four times and then still asks at the last minute what's going on. he also wears massive headphones and guffaws at his computer all day. i assume he's laughing at youtubes of people falling down stairs because i've never witnessed him actually getting the punchline of an irl joke that uses words. and the britfag next to me who eats smelly pot noodles and leaves the container on his desk to rot and he mumbles into his chest and gets irritated when i can't understand him. and the crazy go-getter canadian girl who wears world's brightest clothes and makes everyone get involved in horrible school-wide activities that she cooks up in her free time. she also tries to finish everyone's sentences, and will chime in on the last word AFTER you start to say it, so it's not even that she's a good guesser. it's horrendous. and my boss is a good guy and he goes to bat for us all the time against the forces of evil (chinese school administration), but he also does really awful things like call me to his office to talk about his women drama. which he has a lot of as he likes to date girls half his age with minimal english ability. god i wonder why it never works out. jesus ****?

oh and the lunch food is ****ing vile. i was going to post a pix but the internet in this office is slower than ****ing ****. that's another dumb thing.

i could go on forever but i see others are mercifully keeping it pretty brief. FINE. i'm done.
