i like it. 9 to 16 every day. sitting in my office.. not
much work (except for a running task of keeping the
web-pages up-to-date), but when there is work, it is
actually fun work, so I'm pretty satisfied... too bad that
the job is just for one year, though (civil duty.. i serve
the army-duty doing useful work for charity-organisations or
cultural or educational instances.)

fear to become unemployed...this is the worst feeling ever
because it makes you insecure around your workmates

think of the job as a way to get what you want. if you think
"if i go another month, I will finally have saved up for
[...]" instead of "damn! i spend too much time here.. this
is boring," it will make things much easier!

Yes, you seem to have a similair outlook to me... whenever
I'm down I reassure myself it's only for a few days. Sure
enough, things do get better.

hehe

I think it's gonna take more than a few days unfortunatley,
but yeah, it's never forever =o)

in regards to jobs and everything, being depressed is
depressing and that's how you get stuck in a rut.

All you have to do is change the way you look at things, and
look a little further ahead and you do start to feel better,
wich is all you need to get you back on your feet (just!)
and start making positive changes in your life, such as
activly looking for a job (or new job)

If your ever fed up with your job, don't be afraid to look
for others.

I also recommend going to interviews every now and then even
if your not activly looking for a job, just to keep yourself
confident

well, that's my 2 cents

and remember, your dog still loves you.

up until yesturday I was a carnie for an entire year. no
joke. today at 7am I start my new job installing cable.

being a carnie is fun though. at first you think it's like
a big game and you get to play with the rides you remember
from when you were a kid. but eventually it becomes kinda a
pain. loses it's novelty. I still like opperating the
ferris wheel though that was my favorite.

I sound like I'm fully of shite.

I have the worst job in existence.

I work in an industrial laundry for sweet fuck all pay from
14:00 to anywhere between 19:00 and 2:00 (mostly 21:00)

It is shitty and hot and scummy and grotty and the people
are all dicks, especially the guy i work alongside of on 3
of my 5 days there.

But it will eventually pay off when i buy some equipment and
record sound samples from there to use for an album i want
to do. Which will probably sound like the snares track off
go and do likewise, hopefully better.

Just wish i could have recorded the sounds of the boiler
shutting down and starting up when they repaired it cos the
sound rocked!!!

I'm a student at university, but I also have two jobs.

1) I work as a master control operator for the college tv
station. it's not as important as it sounds; you monitor
on-air programming and switch tapes and stuff.

2) I work at the equipment access center, so I sign out
cameras and microphones and stuff to film and video
students. It's okay, but I wish they would have trained me
better. I hate it when people ask me to check something on
an Aaton XTR film camera and I have no idea what they're
talking about.

i work at the student center front desk and basically, if

pogo, ur right, i supose in the long long long run it will
be worth it....

but i think its wrong to say "look at what the job gives
you" because of that mindset i've, without even realizing it
until recently, become a very materialistic person, all that
matters is what the job can afford me.....

but yea, i got off work early today, managed to catch some

i work at a bank. it's ok, except i hate it. i hate it
because i'm unhappy with my life. i dread going and i wait
for the days i have off. on those days i tend to do barely
anything and then i dread going back. it usually ruins the
whole day. i just got back from a ten day vacation and the
last few days will filled with anxiety.

i just crammed my whole summer into a week and it was
thoroughly dissapointing.

my sister hasn't worked in 2 years. i despise her.

Eh....my job is OK. I work for a Printing Press atm. It's
nice hours...2 till whenever we're finished (usually between
8-9, but no later then 10) and it's M-F. It's just a nice
job to have while I'm going to school, which starts the
23rd. :[ I'm not entirely sure what I want to do with my
life. I would like to be an IT tech working with networks
and the like, but the computer field is not what it use to
be. It's not stable at all, so it gives me my doubts. I
figure if I don't have at least something figured out or in
the works by the time I'm 21, I'm just going to go join a
Union. I figure I wouldn't mind being a surveyer! You know
those guys that stand on the side of the road taking
measurements and pictures! I bet that wouldn't be too bad.
^^ Sorry to hear that everyone is depresed. All I can say
is stick with it until you find something better and believe
me there is a better job for ya....just gotta keep looking.
