Killing yourself would not be a good career move.
did wonders for ian curtis's career
dish washing?
yeah, it's soul destroying. SRSLY.
Ouch dish washing
poor you :(
I've never heard of Saul Bellow
But I want a pint , of any alchohol
yeah
still, i get to spend all my wages on Saturday whilst making eyes at hot hipster girls working in Urban Outfitters
it is SO souldestroying though. i dunno how I cope with it. It's making me ridiculously depressed
I wanna get laid. I wanna read some book. I want a cigarette. I want another pint
THE WORLD OWES ME FOR STEEPING MY MOTHERFUCKING GLORIOUS HOLY BODY IN DISH DIRT
you won't get the smell off your hands for the rest of the day
I used to take a 15 minute shower straight after. Eugh. Never again.
i'm gonna have a shower RIGHT NOW
i wear rubber gloves!
i can't wait to spend me monies though. and my life is beautiful otherwise!
JE SUIS ALIVE AGAIN!
. i dunno how I cope with it. It's making me ridiculously depressed
christ, dramatic enough?
what, it's dramatic
to consider quitting doing a repetitive, menial job because it's boring nature makes you feel really extremely unhappy?
remember when you complained about
middle-class intellectuals needlessly whinging about failing exams? i'm having a similar sensation now.
post needs more big words
cease your vituperative parlance
you fuckspanner.
you used a big word
well im just saying get a sense of perspective
i worked in mcdonalds for two years. yeah its fucking shite, but you dont have to do it for the rest of your life, and its not even that bad, its just washing dishes.
i don't want a sense of perspective
of course not
i dont want a sense of perspective
= <3
i once
was a cleaner, i stooped that low at my delicate young age. You dont get lower than cleaning toilets.
You loved it
I thought office work was soul destroying but I don't think I could do dishwashing without drowning mysefl in the sink.
Sorry thats thoroughly depressing, um think of the money and all the books,records,drinks you can buy with it?
lolz
I'm cleaning toilets right now, at wimbledon tennis. It's pretty lame, although I've been based in the broadcast center the past few days, and it's kinda cool wandering the corridors and seeing tim henman, john macenroe and sue barker.
the only job ive had like that
was when i worked sundays at woolworths for 3.94, standing up for 6 hours on my own watching power rangers,
haha
living the dream
once you've worked in a box factory you can work anywhere
nothing comes close
I sympathise.
For the first time in my life i think i actually like my job. Yesterday i drove down to Devon, stayed in a lovely hotel, ate as much as i could and put it on expenses then got up at 9 to meet one person for one hour to talk about Christmas and then had then spent the rest of the day sightseeing. Go me.
haha
I thought these only existed in The Simpsons?
the idea of taking a job like that is...
so you can look for a slightly less soul-destroying job in the meantime, whilst still having a few quid roll in. We've all done it. Use your day off, or even just an evening, to get the job papers, look on the websites, vist the job centre, find something a little better paid and not quite as tedious, then when you get than do the same. Small steps, and all that. x.
i would say my first 5 jobs all made me want to kill myself
chicken factory was the worst. The smell made me feel sick in the morning. so chin up, could be worse.
try and be a waiter!
it's really easy
I'm waiting for my enhanced CRB check to clear
so I can start my new job.
In the meantime I've been assembling promotional drinks campaign packs for Threshers in a warehouse.
The bad part: 7 pounds per hour
The good part: HOTT Polish girls left, right and centre.
So does mine sometimes.
However, next week I'm doing enough hours to earn £161 before tax. And that ain't not bad.
I'm doing the stereotypical Norfolk job
and tending the fields. And by 'tending' I mean weeding. It's pretty bad, but the pays not too bad for this kind of work and you can get a decent tan.
Hugs.
Mine is pretty tedious at the moment, can't wait to quit it. Gonna be skint skint skint though.
welcome to the wonderful world of employment.
also, the rest of your life.
^this
Chin up pal
its not forever, just think of the sweet cash money you'll be getting for it. And yes I do want a pint.
Is there sweet money in washing dishes?
I've got the wrong job!
FANCY A PINT?
sorry Partridge.
Dishwashing's hardly coal-mining is it?
Man up.
dish washing is, unfortunately
something of a right of passage.
on a happier note, i was once in your position but now work at that big hmv in london, which is quite nice in comparison.
