    Sometimes all I'm doing is paper work or making sure all my supplies are up to date.

    Other days I'm running 3 instrument, processing 50 fucking requests, and telling people to wait in fucking line for their data or I'll kill them, eat their body, and absorb their power.

    Mully, I am so sorry that you cannot waste time at work; and what the fuck?!? Sometimes you gotta hit google for some shit that's work related! If I didn't have at least one web browser going at my last desk job, I wouldn't have been able to do half of that job.

    oh I'm allowed to use it for work stuff, just nothing else. they go through my logs. one time I was told that I had been looking at inappropriate things, but wouldn't tell me what. if you're wondering how I'm able to post right now; iPhone.

    I used to be a night master control operator at a TV station. a ten hour shift was literally two hours of work and 8 hours of watching TV.

    I mean, that was the actual defined parameters of the job: "Once this stuff is done, you can just watch tv or whatever. If you look at anything I shouldn't know about online, clear the damn browser so I don't find out."

    you know what posses me off... people here in bc on unemployment make more than I did while I was busting my ass for 8.25 an hour. so it is more profitable to go on EI than to pick up a minimum wage job.

    I quit my last job where I did nothing all day to take this one up where I'm flat out most of the time and relish down-time like I currently have.

    I found that going into work for 8am to sit at a desk pretending to work and just browsing forums was really soul-sucking and just generally got me down. Maybe it's just me, but I like to spend my days actually doing stuff.
    Yessss

    My last job was a little too quiet for my liking, but the staff were so friendly and the office so pleasant that I didn't move for three hours.

    I started when I was 16 about to turn 17 and I am now 19 and turning 20 on Christmas Eve.

    My post was sort of misleading though, I am still making minimum wage but minimum wage has risen 2 times.

    Started making $5.15, then it got raised to $6.85, and now I am making $7.00

    Pay sucks but I really don't have much of a choice, I'm going to school right now and finding a new job isn't high on my list of priorities.

    It's the from the French version meaning "fancy as hell spelling."

    I wouldn't expect you to understand what with your limited experience.
    I've seen it both ways which is weird.

    Actually, I really am. I live in a constant fear of my five-foot-four mother slapping the shit out of me for disrespect; I also practice excellent table manners and I am a big believer in Tabasco and all of it's sacraments.
