MollyCule I try to figure out what movies people want when they tell me things like, "I don't know the title or anyone who's in it, OR what it's about, but i think it's from 1983."

It seems I no longer have any desire to share anything of myself here. Not that I did much of that before. Ha. Funny. I'm in-vi-zuh-buhl. 010919 ... ClairE I type in prices of foods. For one case of Dannon yogurt we pay $7.79. I also get tons of free food and sometimes type things up. I'm good at typing. 011219 ... Special K I dream about being a Xerox repairman. Or a window cleaner. Or a grocery stock clerk. You know, a job that requires no skill, a job where the quality of performance is completely objective. "The machine was broken when I got there, it worked when I left, therefore I am a good worker." "The shelves were empty when I showed up, now they're full – another job well done." I'm sick of working in design, where one person's subjective dislike for the color orange can invalidate the fruits of 3 months of your labor. Where "I don't like that font" loosely translates to "you're such a fucking moron, where did you say you went to school?" You know at the end of Office Space, where the guy becomes a construction worker and looks happy as hell just to be outside? I watched that conclusion with painful envy. Ah, the forbidden joy of manual labor... 011219 ... Norm I do favors for people and sell drugs. 011219 ... cube Design and program control systems for industry.

I rarely do any actual work... 030505 ... jane i don't have a job anymore. i used to work at a new-age type store that sold incense and every new agey type thing you can think of. before that i worked in a place that sold awards (trophies and plaques and such) so i would make those. plus change peoples' watch batteries. before that i was a receptionist. filing, typing, answering phones. got on my nerves 030505 ... birdmad and before all that other shit i listed a while ago, i was a whole bunch of fucked_up things that a person could be.

It's not a hard job but I definitely don't get paid to work hard either. I work with awesome people and that’s the only reason I am still working there. I am a cashier at a home town grocery store. 030507 ... p2 today... waiting for an ebay auction to end reading email reading blather recruiting co-workers to split a pizza pie for lunch reading blogs and such taking pictures of my tattoo eating pretzels drinking sodas bothering the receptionist/administrative assistant oh, and some debugging it's been a full morning so far 030507 ... shivers i dont have a real job, i just work at my dads place when i have the time and do homework 030507 ... sabbie get stressed get grumpy get tired and make little_grumpy_growling_noises 030519 ... User24 special k: I empathise 030804 ... minnesota_chris I process files of people who have accidents and no drivers insurance. Then I send forms to them asking them to list their assets. If they don't fill out the form, or if they can't afford to pay for the accident, I take away their drivers' license. 030804 ... misstree i process medical claims. not too long after i started, there was a $3,000 ambulance claim from new year's eve for a 17-year old female, with diagnosis rape victim. her father's policy started on new year's day. i went home very, very depressed. i have also bartended, waitressed, typeset books, assembles cell-phone batteries, been girl friday at a fiberglass boat refinishing/manufacturing place, been bookkeeper at a locksmith, cashier at two auto dealerships, done random temp work, worked at a toy store in a HUGE mall at christmastime, was on an order board for a wholesale upholstery fabric place, telemarketed (*shudder*), and worked at a gas station/chicken shack. i also read poetry on the streets of new orleans for a while, but the pay was really really shitty and the benefits were worse (aka, i survived off of it, and i was lucky to do that). i should just get a job running poland and be done with it. 030804 ... jenny enny dots currently i dispense drugs to kitties, puppies, and an occasional reptile, along with other assorted fun tasks. since we have told about previous jobs, here's a few places I worked for: an employment agency a fake tooth factory an Italian restaurant Pier One Imports A vintage clothing store but my favorite was: dressed as an Easter Bunny and delivered gift baskets. 040201 ... her royal highness the quirk i work at the main library on campus, at the circulation desk. i also shelve books, sort books to go on carts to be shelved, put the security things in books, flirt with a couple of my insanely hot supervisors, check out the guys who walk past the desk, flirt with the hot ones who check out books. man i love my job :-) 040202 ... minnesota_chris I'm making a nice looking retaining wall, for some very nice people. It's kinda like the one I posted under photos.yahoo.com/rehtalb under blatherskite art. Anyhow, I was digging out this wall space and pretty soon, I hit the original, unadulterated, non garden soil. The real stuff. Pure clay. Since it was wet (and digging clay soil is like trying to dig through Play Dough or bubblegum) I got a ball of it, wedged it and added some water, and made an ashtray. Then I made a little cow head sculpture. I mean, if you gotta work with clay, you gotta enjoy it a bit. 040421 ... notme that's awesome chris loves clay 040421 ... minnesota_chris I'm a baker now. I start at 4 am, making muffins, scones, and throwing bread dough around. I like it. 041023 ... jane goof off on the computer. at least as of recent. 071226 ... j especially today, because i am the ONLY PERSON WHO SHOWED UP 071226 ... Lemon_Soda I research my local, regional, and national markets. I answer questions, compile information, and examine properties for prospects. I market properties or search for them for my clients. I do clerical work for a Senior Partner in our office. I spend a great deal of time meeting with people and discussing options concerned with various parts of my profession. I also blathe, visit benchilada.livejournal.com, www.myspace.com-misstree, and various other websites. Objectively, I sit at a desk half my day and I sit at a conferance table or in a restaurant the other half. Any free time inbetween is in the car(See the People, See the Property). 071226 ... unhinged i make children smile i make children cry i encourage young composers i write music for piano and voice i practice my violin 100628 ... ClairE Currently I scan barcodes, move books from place to place, answer the phone, and help librarians and patrons. I like it, although I might be outgrowing it. I also scoop ice cream a couple of nights a week, which I've been doing on and off for about three years. I started with 20 hours a week when I was "underemployed", and my other 20 hours were working as an intern, where I cataloged articles for a homegrown database (very simple, just assigning terms from a small controlled vocabulary) and copying things. Before that I worked on the Google book-scanning project at one of the libraries here, but I didn't work for the library, and I didn't work for Google. They hired professional book movers to transport the books being scanned and I worked for them. I don't know what I would have done without that job because I was emotionally and mentally unstable at that point and getting paid for an eight-hour day while working maybe one hour. I don't think I could have done more than that. When I first moved to Boston I worked for an insurance brokerage firm. I hated it. I was okay at what I did but everyone was so concerned with television and thought I was bizarre. I felt like I was totally closeted and didn't feel that I could tell them I was getting my degree, and got fired when I didn't work overtime for no pay. I also worked a reference job while I was still at the insurance brokerage firm because I was frightened of having a gap on my resume. I had nothing to do there and my supervisor was crazy and unfriendly. Before that I had some clerical jobs and more library jobs. Tada. I'm trying to work up the nerve to do something new! 100629 what's it to you? who go blather from
