Thread: Tell me about your job

I work at customer support in a parking lot. My functions are making payment to the clients, helping them if they have problems with the machines, guarding the park during night shifts, give free cards to the parternships my company has. It's a pretty dull job, so I asked my supervisor to teach me her tasks, so now I also create and manage magnetic cards for some clients, deal with the tech ppl whenever we have a problem with the system, and organize her papers/tasks.

Still, it's pretty boring job, because I'm constantly changing shifts, and sometimes work from 8pm to 4am because of a disco that has a partnership with us which makes me spend 8 hours just giving free tickets to clients that park there. There's load of dead time in my job, but the good part is that when I do night shifts I get to be 8 hours locked without practically receiving any clients, so I just use all that time to study and be around DV. My payment is seriously low for the amount of hours I work, but here in Portugal that's better than most people since it's really hard to get a job ^^

I work with computers.

I just got promoted. I have to do about 30 minutes more work and get twice the salary

I have a paper round btw

I'm studying full-time towards a masters in neuroscience, and at the weekends I work as a poker dealer in a casino. The hours are late but it's flexible. And it can be quite interesting. But mostly depressing and frustrating.

I work at a mechanic and i am a student also its good fun and keeps me nice and busy

I've tried that twice. One got me fired in 2 days and the other in 2 months. It just isn't my thing. Before those I worked at a supermarket for 15 months. Now I recently started at the Praxis, a DIY store. First they're teaching me how to work at the cash register though.

I go to school once a week to study physics so I can go to college next year. Good life.

Are you a Z car mechanic.

I'm a student but I also work in a research lab for [edited per OPs request]. I run experiments which mostly includes shocking people in their brain and having them perform tedious activities. I also code the data received from such experiments. I'm getting authorship on the latest studies! I actually enjoy it because I'm into the research and I like meeting new people.

Wth you crazy Xox? That sounds weird shocking people in their brain

I walk around, look at things, and casually talk to people. At the end of each shift, I write up a short report describing some of the things I looked at and/or the conversations I had. That's the full time job. I go to school part time as well.

I'm a restaurant server. I come in, make sure the tables in make section are ready, and wait for guests to come while working on side work. Once they arrive, I greet guests at the table, ask what they want to drink, put their drink order in the computer, prepare and serve their drinks, ask what they want to eat, put their food order in the computer, prepare any soups or salads they ask for and serve it to them, keep an eye on their drinks, serve them refills if necessary, serve their food order, ask how their food is after a couple minutes, still keep an eye on their drinks, ask the manager for any discounts for them if necessary, print the bill for the guests and a copy for the restaurants records, ask the guests if they want any dessert, change and reprint the bill and prepare and serve their dessert if necessary, give them their bill, tell them to have a nice night, wait for them to leave, and collect the tip they left me. If it's busy I might have several tables at once different stages, at which point there's quite a bit of multitasking involved. If I'm not busy I'll help serve other server's food or work on various side work duties I have. Once my manager says I'm all done, I'll complete my side work, get initials from co-workers in charge of checking that I rolled silverware in napkins and completed my front of the house and back of the house duties. Then I go in the managers office with the manager and give them cash the guests paid their food with, receipts, discounts, and merchant copy tip slips. Then manager gives me my tips in cash. I give about 10-20 percent of my total tips to the hosts and bartender and go home.

I'm in school and I have no job. I guess I'm SOL.

I am shooting to earn my PharmD and become something in the pharmaceutical field. Probably a pharmacist.
