back on topic? shall i. i almost feel rude, like i've interupted.

i work at a studio in North London, my main job is recording/ producing bands. its great, i really love it. the only problem is getting bands in to record, at the moment there has been a really long quiet spell so i have been left very VERY skint. but the money is good when the work comes in so its swings and roundabouts. when i'm not doing my own sessions i do alot of assitant engineering work with the other guys who work there, i've got to work with some really cool people.

i've recently started doing the odd session (when i'm needed) at another studio, its not at all as nice but its still good to be doing a job you like.

i also cover shifts every now and then at an O'Neils in the centre of town (Wardor street), thats where i was tonight. its horrible and full of complete cunts, but the money is far to good to pass up on... especially when you've had £30 to your name for the last... god knows how long!

although, most of my friends consider me a bum as to them i spend alot of time at home doing "lable stuff", when they are out doing "real work".

Gizza job la'

im an order picker in a lidl warehouse, being there always reminds me of either the slaves in egyptian times, or that bit on conan the barbarian where hes pushing the massive wheel round :lol:

i drive around on a palette truck for 7-8 hours picking up either boxes of produce or bread, stopping once to eat food and get given at a soul destroying piece of paper that tells us how much work is left, its kinda like my idea of hell
oh and its lidl so theyre fucking slave drivers

I do freelance illustration professionally. Sounds great, but I'm poor.

I'm a junior live sound engineer. Pretty good stuff, get to see live music and flirt with hot barstaff, waitresses and the most beautiful matrodee (sp?) in the entire world! (Seriously, if you're ever in Newcastle, run over to As You Like It in Jesmond on a Friday or Saturday evening and see for yourself, I promise it will be worth your time!) Great job, shite pay. I finish in a month unfortunatley, to go back to uni, (3rd year placement job) but I intend to do it part time while I'm studying. Incidentally, if anyone wants a cheap sound engineer, I'll do it cheap for anyone on this board. Will be living in Oxfordshire during August, then in Huddersfield from September onwards.

what's a job?

by **James** on Mon Jun 18, 2007 3:23 pm

Yay, I just got a job!

It starts at 8am every morning!!!! Goodbye nocturnal Age of Empires marathons

It is at a place called Professional Imaging, they basically print big signs and adverts for businesses.

Should be ok, it's £6 an hour, might be quite cool to build and make stuff rather than sit at a check out. Unless they just get me making everyone coffee! :roll:

Been a computer programmer/systems analyst for the last 22 years.
Bored as fuck for the last 10 years or so but it's too late to change. My mortgage company wouldn't like it if I quit. :lol:

I worked for a sign company once. Well, it was a temp job for one day. They wanted me back but they wanted me to do gardening for the second day. It was cool though, I got there and they took me outside to this skip with a bunch of massive signs next to it, then gave me a slege hammer and some gloves and said "Right, that lot needs to go in the skip". Good times

When I worked at a garden centre, we used to have to dump stuff in the skips, and oe day, we found two video recorders. We smashed them up - it was possibly the best day of my life. And there was an old Simpsons video jammed in one of them to boot! SCORE!

Haha, my mate once worked for a place that fixed general electronics. Someone brought in a VCR saying they couldn't get the tape out. They took it to the workshop, plugged it in and pressed "Eject". Job done. The tape was a prono, and a pretty good one apparently, so they kept it and gave the VCR back :lol:

Giving blood is an excellent use of your time, and I'm pretty sure alcohol doesn't affect it. They're gonna ask you a fucking mile of questions about how much of a faggot you are ("have you ever paid for sex with a man? have you ever sucked a man's penis? have you had sex with men in Africa? have you ever eaten a condom?"), but nothing about alcohol.

that made me laugh. no out loud mind. just, well anyway...

i work in IT in a University. i recommend local government for all workshy people :oops:

at the start its like this :wall:

im so good at passing the buck i havent paid for a bus ticket in ages. stupid deaf old people.
