Protect that back of yours. Your too young to be throwing it out or messing up a disc or something. Night-Owl hours, sounds pretty cool. It prolly will pay decent too. I hope it all works out.

a night job would be interesting for a while. except for the 95% of the people around you being asleep when you are up. i hope you have some friends that work the same time as you.

I work nights too, but 2nd shift not 3rd. I gotta say it's totally ruined the little social life that I have at home (as opposed to at college). I work 3:30 pm to midnight sun-thurs, and I never feel like doing anything social in the mornings, so that leaves two days a week when I do anything at all. It's kind of lame, but the summer's close to being over and the money's good.

I got a summer job too. Working in the Office at the Crematorium... 9 till 5 (nice :-/) and highly boring. £7.06 an hour's good for my first ever job though!!
...and no, i'm not the one who burns the dead people.

On Friday you should turn up in Shorts, T-Shirt and bare feet. Then claim thet you thought that was what "dressing down" is.

Heh, it's hard to name a job that isn't boring and antisocial. Maybe superhero. I work part time as a car park attendant... it's weird, the job kinda brainwashes you to hate every single person you meet.

I make £4.52 an hour, increasing to £5.00 in a month or so. I know it's a bit shitty, but for a 17 year old who could be working at burger king, i count my blessings. I might have to repeat the same "hi, can i help?" about a million times a day, but at least i don't smell like beef fat.

Is there any way for you to steal from the till? I find stealing an excellent way to augment one's income.

i work nights kind of (5 pm to 3 am 4 days a week) and i think it's great. it's so cool to have the entire world to yourself for a couple of hours at the end of the day, plus 3 days off/week is kick ass.
