    I have learned to make any job fun. I have done various interesting jobs. Every job I get into I make it fun somehow. I try to have the open minded thing going on.

    -I worked at Kroger. I had fun by making it a competition to make the baggers work as hard as possible and I was the fastest cashier in the district for like 4 months straight.
    - Bussed tables at a resturant. Learned how to cook stuff from the chefs and everyone I worked with became my friends so it was not like work.
    - Same restarunt I moved to Expo. Talk about a lot of responsibility. I was 17, doing the job of the owner who stopped coming in. I sat 80 tops flawlessly. I got to boss around everyone but the cooks. Me and a particular chef had lots of fun games with the new guys. (Find me a left handed spatchula) and all that fun junk. I worked every night for 8 months straight with a week off in december to go to Utah and spring break week. Other than that, every night there at 5 and gone by 12. Good money tho.
    -Assembled air conditioning auto motive parts at a company called Airsept. You guys who are mechanics. Take a look at your AC machine. That cylinder thing inside or hanging off it that cleans it out. I probably built that if its a couple years old. I didnt get paid much, my boss was awesome. My co workers were awesome.
    -Built houses. Yeah ****ty work, cold outside or hot depending on the weather. Got close to my co workers. We would have games like nail gun accuracy and stupid stuff like that. We named our hammers. Mine was named Old glory because it was from like 1950. I learned how to frame, roof, drywall, flooring, tiling, carpet jobs, trim work... All kinds of fun.

    Now I am at school trying to make a buck here and there with random jobs but practically jobless. I wish I could find a way to work up in Kennesaw and go to school on the side part time. I get wayyy to bored just going to school personally.
    Moral of my story... Make work fun one way or another.

    My last job i honestly had my desk moved 4 times in 1 month. It seemed like a friday thing for my boss. I enjoyed it though since i had to move my computer and all my work it took a good hour of me taking my sweet time.

    my job sux cuz of my idiot bosses and their endless methods of ****ing up their "awesome" productivity plan by causing mre overtime making things harder than they need to be. i love working in a damn warehouse but 11 an hour aint cuttin it. A desk job is like heaven compared to commin home after a 55 hour workweek.
