Jobs...

[RogueTrader]

This will probably be my last post for the rest of the day. I have some MAJOR work to do today. But I have been wondering......

1. What does everyone do for a living?
2. What is the most interesting Job you have ever had?
3. Do they let you listen to Pearl Jam at the office?

So, my answers would be....

1. I am a management consultant for a company called Headstrong (www.headstrong.com)
2. I am going to have to say this one, but closely followed by my tenure as a Junior Asset Swaps Trader for Deutsche bank in London
3. Yes, they do here...i couldn't at the last job cause i was always on the phone. (In fact, when i started with this company, I 'stole' a small server in the Australian office and loaded it up with music, particularly the music of our favourite band, and made it into a kind of Juke Box server. People have been uploading stuff for the last year and we now have over 600 albums on there. The guy who runs the IT depertment in Sydney als recently expanded the RAM and Disk Space oin the box, cos our CEO and Head of marketing in Washington were experiencing download difficulties when they were listening to Debbie Gibson and NIN respectively)

Talk to you all later.

1. i'm in college... therefore, i slack off. i'm probably going to be a waitress this summer though, which isn't a good job for me cuz i don't like people very much.

2. well, my two jobs have been #1- a library, #2- cashier in a department store... they both sucked.

3. at the store where i worked we were allowed to bring cds in sometimes, but i could only usually listen to PJ when i was working by myself cuz the other people in my department always wanted to listen to n'sync type shit (hey, i worked in the Junior department).

[mtgirl]

interesting q, rt. i'm glad you get to jam at work :)
1 well i've got a coupla weeks to go on my bachelor's degree at montana state in fish and wildlife management, and then i'm heading for yellowstone to work on an antelope study for the third summer, i cannot wait, working outside is where it's at.

2 the antelope study is definately the most interesting job i've ever had. it's just what i dreamed of doing, like the dudes on the discovery channel, however, i think they might get more than $300/week :3 another kick ass job i had in high school was working for the yellowstone youth conservation corp. we did trail work and stuff and i just love working in beautiful places and doing physical labor and stuff

3 well, when i'm working in the park, i listen to the stereo when i'm in the car and when i'm doing data entry so that rox

cute boys make me wanna get drunk

[mtgirl]

hehe about the slacking ;) i here that! but anyway, sorry about having to listen to n'sync. damn that's no good. and at least sometimes you can meet cute boys if you are a waitress. how ya doin today bc?

cute boys make me wanna get drunk

WEll, at the moment, I'm a student, and will be for quite a while I'm feeling......

Most interesting job...hmm....the day care I work at is really interesting...because kids are crazy, but I used to paint in Rochester NY and all the guys I worked with would go and smoke a bowl or 2 during lunch break...fuck we used to get stoned...then have to go back and climb ladders and shit...damn!

PJ anytime I want at home :)

[mtgirl]

the good thing about smoking when working is, hey, at least you're making money to buy more weed with. anyway, i have this friend who has it fucking made. he is a photographer and sells shit now and then, just for snowboarding and snowshoing and going on vacations to take pictures. and then in the summer he's a fishing guide and makes $300/day and gets totally ripped all day. and a tan and gets to go fishing all the time

my chrome is shinin just like an icicle, i ride around town on my lowrider bicycle

[Orangevdub]

1.) I work customer service for a large financial services company. (Everything from trade orders to processing withdrawls)
2.) Most interesting job was stay at home mom, for the time I was able to do it.
3.)No Pearl Jam in the office unfortunately. (Headset on my head at all times)

[yer ardy]

1. I'm 'retired' after 22 years in advertising(and various other titles) for the largest independently owned supermarket in southeast michigan.
2. It was the *only* job i ever had..was hired 2 weeks after i turned 16.
3. When i was working, not a day went by that i didn't listen to PJ and others. i had a very cool boss...i miss him terribly...he died in 1997.

i'm doin pretty good... in fact, i'm slacking right now- i should be writing an english paper, which i should have finished for last friday.

[Plaidsurfshorts]

1. In addition to my highly-stressful unpaid duties as a University student, I work part-time as an archivist at a national sports TV network. Basically, every Saturday (and impersonally on Sundays), I am in charge of our station's tape library, including taping footage (recording games, taking in feeds, tape-to-tape transfers, creating compilations), inputting shots into the computer database, and just generally keeping all our footage in order. Another aspect of the job calls for me to have a hand in selecting what goes to air. If a sports news story breaks, I will be paged by an editor or reporter and asked to find footage on the teams/individuals involved. What I choose to give to the editors to splice together to be shown on-air is at my discretion, unless they ask for a specific shot. Also, if need be, I also do some statistical research, as it sometimes helps in selecting good footage, or just as a general service if someone else in the station is in a pinch. I've held this job (four days per week during summer, Saturdays only during school) since summer '99 after being hired off an internship through school, and I can absolutely say I love it. It may be the bottom of the totem pole in sports media, but it's ahuge kick to hold a position in the industry and it's very self-affirming to know that I'm a "small cog in a big machine". /images/smile.gif

2. This one! Although it definitely helps to be a sports freak. (This is also the only paying job I've ever held /images/wink.gif)

3. I can if I want to, as we have a cassette deck in our room, but I elect not to just because it would distract me. There are certain things I have to tend to at certain times, plus I am usually tutoring an intern, so if I had PJ going, I doubt I would get anything done. However, I am usually all over the Internet on Jamily BBS'. /images/laugh.gif

"What is a million people...listening...to your music?" - JA, "SVT".

1. Right now I'm jobless...but in May I'll be in LA working as a Foreign Language Subtitle Editor part time whoo hooo! And the rest of the time I'll be working with Michael Levine THE biggest publicity man in Hollywood and NY for that matter on movie promotions.... :)

2. My last job I was the head publicist for an indie Bay Area record label Vaccination Records www.vacrec.com but before that I was working in publicity and A&R Admin at the tower of power known as Capitol Records. That friggin rocked. I got paid to hang with musicians for a living... :)

3. I listened to them all the time, and when I'm in LA workin, I'll be blasting them there too... :)

y para ser más franca nadie piensa en ti como lo hago yo aunque te dé lo mismo...

[The Dude]

1. Superhero by the alias of Captain Everyday. It's a tough job but it is rewarding to help the average Joes and Flos in their times of trouble.

2. Working in retail at a place called Office D., no that's too obvious. O. Depot. It was interesting to see how the manager could brainwash his workers into being lean mean selling machines. Plus, The Dude got to sell broken chairs to old people without them knowing it. The guilt of those despicable acts got to him and he quit and decided on a new profession. Superhero.

3. Since The Dude is his own boss, he can listen to tunage whenever he sees fit.

Anyway.. MY responses are as follows..

1. I can't tell you what everyone does as I don't know and can only speak for myself and tell you that I'm a professional bitch.. no seriously, I work in an office in a hospital which is rather dull and boring (maybe cause I've been here 5 yrs and didn't want to be here in the 1st place.. hmmmmm..), it brings in the cash so i can't complain too much..
2. I used to do displays in a music shop.. we'd get the posters in and the guy who ran the place would just let me do what ever the fuck I wanted.. as you can guess I now have an amazing collection of posters and other music paraphernalia my fav being the PJ No Code Cubes used to promote the album here, they're so cool..
3. I'm pretty much allowed to do as one pleases as long as the work gets done these days and I shuffle around from department to department so depending where I am depends on what music I can listen to, the front counter in a hospital doesn't really lend itself to PJ..

If God is the dealer why do we never win??

[RogueTrader]

[MonkeyBrains]

Sure about the first comment, CERTAINLY..
I really don't want to be my own boss.. You're kinda tied down for a while there.. I'd never make it oer to see you..

True about the boss thing, but you could come over on buying trips to get the latest Japanese noise bands.

2. Definitely this one...also the most challenging and stressfull, but enjoyable also
3. In the lab yes, everyone I work with listens to music, we have numerous MP3 servers, which is kind of bad because everyone listens to different music(Creed :(
See ya!!!!

[Smirks]

1) I am a Network & Unix Administrator for a dot-com startup in New York City. We're an incetives based company with customers such as Bennigans, Steak and Ale, Dr. Pepper, Rocket Cash (Coca-Cola, Sprite) and other major companies (note- this is our first year in operation!). Our corporate website is at www.clarityis.com, and our web portal is at www.fatshoe.com, where you earn money on a visa card just to surf the internet!
2) I had a job in Texas where I used to check parking permits before the Dallas Cowboy home games. After I did that we were allowed to go watch the game.... so, that was probably it because I got to see almost an entire season of Cowboy football games. /images/smile.gif
3) Of course.
