My job SUCKS.

adam · Dec 2004

I just finished typesetting something for a customer that was 12 pages of his political opinion. It was addressed to Canada's 'Prime Minister' Paul Martin and his stance on same-sex marriage.

The reason why I hate my job is I hold the opposite opinion of the customers beliefs in regards to same-sex marriage and I feel like I just did a dirty job for the 'enemy'. I even asked if I am allowed to say 'no' to certain jobs as its against things I strongly believe in and my co-ordinator (my 'superior' basically) said 'no'.

Grr I hate bullshit like this and I cannot wait to get out of this place. Sorry, I just had to vent $:\$

i used to do typesetting in school and hated it. I feel for you man =(

John Warner · Dec 2004

can't find a way to "edit" it, can you?

spelling mistakes, grammer errors, basicaly just make them sound like a redneck?

i'd assume not.

FatAssasin · Dec 2004

Sounds like "the man" has got you by the short hairs.

hmm
do you think its okay for a pharmacist to refuse to fill a birth control prescription because it is against his beliefs?

rolfness · Dec 2004

Im with duke on this .. you seem to take the job too personally

The job does not define you.

Hollowmind · Dec 2004

I get the same things with my job, too. Just gotta' remember it's only a job, it's not your life. You are not your job and what not.

I hate my job, I get paid nicely to surf the net and idle in irc.

I'd rather actually be getting paid to do art and actually working.

Thinking about quiting sometimes just so I can put myself behind the 8ball and do something, but the money keeps me sitting here day after day.

Frank · Dec 2004

Adam, you should be proud that you disagree with him so strongly but don't keep him from speaking. You're defending free speech, man, and that's more than most people on his side would do. You are a soldier of freedom!

Didn't they just pass something that allows them to do that?

You probably mean this-

-but it has to do with abortion, not contraceptives. I believe that's still up to individual states and in some cases the actual pharmacy's policy. But more and more pharmacists are successfully challenging these policies-

But I digress. Adam, I just saw a commercial for some cold sore medication. There was a close-up of a nice juicy sore on someone's lip- and then it vanished! It was someone's job to animate that little cold sore. That person probably went back to work the next day. Just be glad that the person who wrote this disagreeable piece you had to typeset isn't your actual, everyday boss. THAT would SUCK.

adam · Dec 2004

Hey, thanks for the replies. I was blowing off some steam.. I know Kinko's doesn't 'define me', but it's still a pain to go do something like that $:\$

mr.toast · Dec 2004

my job is pretty bad, iam a telemarketer, and my job is to persuade senior citizens who are to old to make any decisions to buy really expensive life insurance over the phone, (by expensive iam talking about $2,000 of coverage for $30-$40 dollars a month depending on age)

Jinxter · Dec 2004

I do believe that your job, does indeed suck...but better that than being unemployed.

Wow... its like I wrote that myself...

And mr. toast, you are the spawn of satan and I hope your balls turn green and rot off =P Either that or you find a new job, one that doesn't include milking the elderly out of what little money they don't have.

Which ever one comes first, hopefully the later comes first.

mr.toast · Dec 2004

the worse part is if they say no, you have to keep rebutting them until they hang up on you, if you dont and they monitor you then you get written up which leads to suspenion then termination, only reason why i work there is that its close and i can come in and leave whenever i want, as long as i get my 25 hours a week in, anyways iam off to work, tell your grandparents they will be hearing from me

Joshua Stubbles · Dec 2004

My first job was a gas station pump attendant/stockboy/janitor for Chevron. I had to clean the public restrooms...
One bum-esque individual had an "explosive" incident all over the floor and walls.

If your job is worse than that....I feel for ya.

The3DGuy · Dec 2004
