    I just took a shit.

  • Unlucky.

    I think I win though, I just applied for a job at Lidl.

    IrishMagpie | 25 Feb '07, 16:56 | X
    • Lidl ?

      Is it the same thing than in France ?

      lyle @IrishMagpie | 25 Feb '07, 18:46 | X
      • Yeah its a supermarket.

        I like it. The pay is fucking awesome too, if I get it.

        IrishMagpie @lyle | 25 Feb '07, 18:49 | X
        • I don't think

          they pay people well in France...

          lyle @IrishMagpie | 25 Feb '07, 18:52 | X
          • :)

            IrishMagpie @lyle | 25 Feb '07, 18:52 | X
            • I suppose they pay

              at minimum wage ( I don't want to know how few it is... ).
              Still only 35 hours a week...

              lyle @IrishMagpie | 25 Feb '07, 18:56 | X
        • ...

          Yup. Nothing better than being paid £5.50 an hour for 9 hours a day, stacking 1.5L bottles of Diet Coke and watching endless amounts of monobrowed malcontents drag their children in just to slap them.

          • Where do I sign?

  • I worked in a cave

    last summer.

    Alex_b | 25 Feb '07, 18:39 | X
  • um, you're sixteen.

    that would be a pretty sweet job for you.

    fishplums | 25 Feb '07, 18:45 | X
    • there's no such thing

      as a sweet job...

      lyle @fishplums | 25 Feb '07, 18:46 | X
    • what difference does it make?

      not being able to access a vast range of jobs doesn't make any one job any less potentially shit.

      ex_cynic @fishplums | 25 Feb '07, 18:47 | X
      • it makes working in ikea a whole lot fucking better

        than having a paper round or cleaning schools for a few extra pounds a week.
        when i was 16 i would've killed for ikea.

        fishplums @ex_cynic | 25 Feb '07, 18:52 | X
        • fucking hell

          is there nothing ikea don't offer?

          bobbygeorge @fishplums | 25 Feb '07, 18:54 | X
        • i would have KILLED for tapp-a-tapp-a-tapp-a!

          ex_cynic @fishplums | 26 Feb '07, 00:03 | X
    • It would

      But I have an allergy to consumerist bullshit and people moaning about how their "öaétrbyjn" is missing a piece.

      But still, £5.50 and hour.

      yes_ @fishplums | 25 Feb '07, 18:49 | X
      • That's awesome.

        Lidl is paying £5.56 an hour though...

        IrishMagpie @yes_ | 25 Feb '07, 18:50 | X
      • consumerist bullshit?

        what?

        fishplums @yes_ | 25 Feb '07, 18:51 | X
        • Its like working for "the man"

          Except its not "the man", its "the man"'s coffee table.
          Ikea is horrible, but pay = good.

          yes_ @fishplums | 25 Feb '07, 18:55 | X
          • if you can give me two reasons why ikea is horrible

            i'll drop it. and i mean, two solid reasons with ACTUAL INTERNET LINKS to products that offend you or proof of child slavery/sweat camps.
            GO! GO! GO!

            fishplums @yes_ | 25 Feb '07, 18:58 | X
            • I don't object to it on those grounds.

              Just that its... ikea. What it, like, represents, man.

              yes_ @fishplums | 25 Feb '07, 19:00 | X
              • yeah man. totally. you can like, bring down The Man from the inside!

                yeah man. pass that joint back?

                fishplums @yes_ | 25 Feb '07, 19:03 | X
                • I was about to write a proper reply to this

                  Then I though:
                  "...No... No."

                  yes_ @fishplums | 25 Feb '07, 19:07 | X
            • it's not really to do with specific products or child slavery

              more that it is a massive monument to a load of toss that nobody really needs. like beds.

              ex_cynic @fishplums | 26 Feb '07, 00:04 | X
      • :( You'd get 45p more than I did.

        But I got tips, so I guess it evens out.

        Unless the stupid chef there stole mine... Grr. That happened many times :(

        TheWildSon @yes_ | 25 Feb '07, 18:51 | X
      • watching too much fight club

        sharp_yet_blunt @yes_ | 26 Feb '07, 00:06 | X
  • I applied for a job the day after my birthday

    and started the day after.

    I've left though, now. Stupid management, absolutely crazy place...

    TheWildSon | 25 Feb '07, 18:46 | X
  • could be worse

    Last year I worked in the laundry department of a hospital, cleaning the surgeons' gowns. that was grim. so much dried blood...

    hell85 | 25 Feb '07, 18:46 | X
    • i've got a great part time job

      sales assistant at boots. i sit down at the till all day and get paid 7 pounds an hour for it. i still hate my job though, it's annoying that it takes up my saturday. pah.

      Ibzo @hell85 | 25 Feb '07, 19:12 | X
  • that's a decent job

    i worked in a hot boring ready meal factory when i was 16. For £5 an hour minus bus fare to the neighbouring town.

    jp100 | 25 Feb '07, 19:14 | X
    • every hour they took out bus fare?
