View Full Version : I got a job! :D
Athelwulf 11-27-06, 01:08 AM I guess you can call me a working-class liberal now. Because I'm now employed. :D
It's not a special job, really, but it's money. I'm hoping things will go good with the job. It'll be part-time until I get used to it, and then I'll ask for full time. It's minimum wage, which I think is $7.50 an hour in Oregon. I heard it's going up to somewhere around eight dollars on the first day of next year, so that'll be awesome.
Anyway, I just wanted to announce the good news.
leopold99 11-27-06, 01:15 AM 8 bucks an hour.
i remember when 3.35 was minimum
you could also buy a pack of smokes AND a gallon of gas for less than a dollar.

francois 11-27-06, 11:40 AM Hey, so what does your job entail?
Does it make use of your linguistic capabilities?

so how much of a cut does your pimp take?
Getting a job in Alberta is sooo ridiculously easy. Walk into any place and not act like a retard. I forget sometimes how lucky we are.

vslayer 11-27-06, 07:21 PM so what exactly is your job?
geez, you guys are being payed shit. it makes me kind of apprehensive about demanding $35K from my boss... but then again you are probably only working 8 hour days compared to my 13-16 hours.

francois 11-28-06, 07:05 PM You are an awful person!
Athelwulf 11-29-06, 06:38 AM Hey, so what does your job entail?
Does it make use of your linguistic capabilities?
It would if I learn enough Spanish (which I'm doing soon) and a customer who only knows Spanish comes in. :D
so how much of a cut does your pimp take?
23%.
I'll take a #3 with no pickles. Super-sized with a coke.
Wrong restaurant. But I can get you a piping hot plate of flapjacks with a yummy side of bacon.
Actually, no I can't. That's the wrong position. But I can at least greet and seat you.
so what exactly is your job?
Dishwasher at Denny's. I have no job history, so it's pretty much the only job they can really give me. I'm gonna work to get promoted to a host or server.
s0meguy 11-29-06, 10:48 AM Since when is getting a job an achievement?
For some people it is ;)
$12 an hour, motherfuckers! That's what you get if you work your ass off, graduate, get dicked over by a professor with a vendetta, don't get into gradschool consequently, and settle for work that is intellectually below you! Woot!
Athelwulf 12-07-06, 12:47 AM What do you do, sqykly?
sderenzi 12-14-06, 03:06 PM What job?
Redefine91 12-16-06, 02:27 PM Just Got a grcoery bagging job 3 weeks ago.
