What do you do for a living?

Meh, I don't really agree with that. I was forced to work from a young age and if I have kids I won't pressure them to work. You'll have plenty of time in life to earn your own money and learn the value of hard labor. You sure won't have much time to be young and explore yourself and the world free from the chains of society. But call me a hippie.

 

Shhh youll ruin the surprise for the young lady's.

 

Hippie! :daisy:

 

i dont thinks I have a job now because I was sick all week and still coughing, Ive a funny feeling that some the duct works I was doing got me sick with sinus problems too, idk.. they will probably take me back when Im better, the desperate fucks..

 

Pretty damn judgmental if you ask me. If she doesn't have to conventionally work (I say baking for extra money and helping out in a machine shop is decent work anyway) and is able to make it, then good for her.

Myself...I am currently making a living looking for a job. I used to bust my ass in fast food (which is apparently highly frowned upon by the high and mighties of the Hipforums ). I was in management, but I don't think I deserved any more respect than most of my employees. That being said, I do NOT want to go back. Getting laid off was my ticket out of that shit and I don't want to ever ever go back. Right now my goal is to find work in assistant/department manager positions in retail...anything but food service honestly. Clerical or bank work would be cool, too.

 

K

I have heard of that. It is available her - just not on terrestrial channels...
It's on 'watch' (cable channel)

 

My first job was in fast food. We had a small kitchen to work with and not a lot of space. At some point we got a new boss and she was really overweight, and then she decides to hore a bunch of new overweight employees. It became very difficult to move around back there without bumping into someone. I worked there for 6 months and they gave me a 3 cent raise. I was pissed.

 

Good I'm glad you've heard of it in the UK!

I really want it to be a super successful show so I can impress future employers with my résumé. But maybe it's just wishful thinking

 

nothing wrong with an honest living, that includes fast food workers. the fast food itself though...i am not a big fan of, it has its advantages but not for a lunch or dinner meal.
working with food is the last thing i would want to do. i hate it. it always gets in my head (am i being clean enough) and that was only delivering the pizzas for a few months i rarely ever made them.

 

Working in food is HARD. People think fast food workers are lazy but it ain't easy. Long hours, hot conditions, mindless work. Ugh. I've never worked in FAST food, per se, but anyone who scoffs at it needs a reality check.

I heard retail is rough. Yikes. Try working at a grocery store, at least you have the union and decent pay.

 

So if the show is super-successful that reflects on your job as a security guard?

 

I know what you mean, pensfan and YouFreeMe. While it may not be stereotypical fast food, I worked at Pizza Hut as a cook while I was in high school.

 

my job is to play and think. to do so honestly. to share honestly what i discover. without trying to interfere too directly with the evolution of human culture.

this has always been my real job. though of course on and off i've had to have day jobs to get by too. fortunately there's a mercy, when you get too old for anyone to want you for an employee, there's this thing called retirement.

 

Isn't it a 'smash hit' already?

I have heard of it...
I still need a cable subscription to watch it, though (pardon the pun)...
Even though UKTV (who own the brand 'watch') is owned, in part, by the BBC.
They only air a couple of their UKTV brands on 'freeview' (free 'cable')...
It might air in a year or two on another UKTV brand - but I won't hold my breath.

From what I can gather it is a success... It's made it to a 3rd season, and likely a fourth.
It will probably last about 5 seasons, so you have a couple more years working there

We (here in the UK) have no real baring on if a US show is picked up for another season or not.

We get 'US Smash Hits' - that were actually canceled after 8 (or so) episodes or only made it to one or two series...

 

Not one grocery store around here hires full-time or I'd totally jump on it. I'd love to work in a grocery store bakery (because there are no independent bakeries around here).

 

:bulb: sounds like a business opportunity to me!

 

Haha, that takes much more money than this girl has

 

Seeing opportunity where others see failure and impossibilities is part of what sets an entrepreneur apart from others.

Thank you Cynthy, but that article has got to be one of the biggest pieces of ambiguous journalistic fluff that I think I have read recently.

so they make pies or bicycles? lol
BTW those bikes are like 1100 bucks for a simple cruiser.... Hipster bauble

Gotcha...I dunno, maybe a really small bakery wouldn't take such a big start up.

If we could only find a pie oven in the dumpster LOL
