Ahhh.... besides all the free massages, the easy working conditions, free catered food, great managers, good pay and flexible hours, I love my job for another reason...

ALL THE FREE SH*T THEY GIVE ME!

The manager just came around and gave every exec. A $50.00 gift voucher for Myers (Chain of stores in Australia) just for doing.... well nothing. They do this sh*t all the time! They put on free concerts in the quad with funky bands to dance too, they have BBQ's at lunch... All sorts of stuff.

I just did some quick maths and I figure todays little gift cost the company.... about $6000.00 do to all the employees.

A quick reference..... $50.00 AUD will buy you a couple of CD's, or a couple of cases of beer, or a case of imported beer, or 10 minutes of phone sex Confused

Its about $25 American dollars. Better than a kick in the pants!

I got got how horrible the hold music to tech support was though.....

Yes, I do love my job, but I can tell you... I'd rather have your jobs! Personally I want to open my own board shop, but I don't know if that will ever happen.....

My "job" isn't that bad...sure, I'm still a student at CU, but I get paid to hang out on boats and take pictures...it's fun - can't wait to make it a full time gig.

Premier135Chick · Guest

Hated every minute of it. Would rather spend the day outdoors doing something I enjoy. I don't mind working at night!!

some of the best advice i have ever recieved was, find what you love doing, then find a way to make money doing it, thats why i have loved every job i have ever had. i will take that advice to my grave

My 'job', the actual thing that I do, is pretty boring. I should really called this 'I love my working conditions' or 'I think my employers are pretty cool' but that doesn't have the same ring does it!

what is your actual JOB cm??? are you some secret agent or something

criminally_minded · Posted: Feb 26, 2003 1:03 pm Post subject:

Ha Ha, not quite mate. I work for a telecomunications company, the biggest mobile net in the world. Its interesting, but it is a desk job.... I prefer working the bar, but at least I'm not in real estate anymore, that sucked....

This is a GOOD JOB, but it ain't my dream job, and I sure as hell won't be doing it forever.

My parents always ask me what i want to do when im older and i say i wanna do something in the wake/surf/skate/snow industries or ina punk band and they shake there heads and walk away.

Sean: Do it. Go get a part time job at a board shop, or write to manufacturers and offer to put up posters around your local area whenever they are having a tour. Submit photos to local street press if they have sports sections etc. etc.

Have fun!

If I were to give a piece of advice to anyone who is still in school it would be to get a job doing the thing you absolutely love the most... the money will come,

criminally_minded · Posted: Feb 26, 2003 5:44 pm Post subject:

Just hassle the stuff out of them, ask them all the time, hang out in the store so much you might as well be an empolyee, and know the product better than they do.
