Its a good excuse to finish homework because there is barely any work involved other than look around the lab every 30 minutes to make sure someone didn't jack something.

I like my job, but the guy who owns the store is having some kind of psychotic episode because all he does know is scream and curse at random people about things that never happened so I don't think I'm gonna have a job much longer.

The only thing I enjoy about my job is the compensation.

I work with 2 of the laziest shitfucks on the face of the earth, one of them is my mixer, who consistently makes bad dough for me. The other is my break relief, who does nothing but run my machine like poo poo and make more work for me. My job is not even hard, but my break relief is so loving dumb, I literally do almost nothing, but after every break I take there is somehow a huge mess and everything is running all hosed up.

Hello yes I heard there was a lovely trainwreck here and...

I really like my job a lot yeah. It's an inbound call center so probably everyone will think I'm utterly nuts but everyone there started at the bottom and worked their way up so the environment is great; even though there are metrics, if you don't give up on the caller until they're happy you can get away with very long calls since there are dudes who also worked their way up from scratch who listen to the recordings to see why it lasted longer than the averages they're shooting for - if they like what they hear they never bug you even if you're never actually on average time like me. It felt like I won the lottery when I got promoted into year-round service from the seasonal work I was doing before, especially since apparently a lot of other temp workers wash out.

people get access to important poo poo they need fast like w2s and employment verifications online instead of by mail (or at all sometimes when the corps gently caress up original mailings). it's not world changing but it definitely makes a difference to the callers.
