Do you have a job?

[Mast3rofPuppets]

Okay I know that there's been a shitload of this threads but I don't care because I got a job today

So, do you have a job? If you do, where do you work, what do you do, how much do they pay you, do you like it or hate it?

The job I got is at "The cancer and allergy fund". Basically I sit at an old computer from the late '80s wich has an 12" screen and some kind of ms-dos OS. The computer calls up people and i'm trying to convince them to donate money to us, it's a very ungrateful job I tell you, VERY ungrateful, there's alot of rude people out there...
Anyway, the good thing is that the say that they're gonna get new computers in a week or two.
I get 18.8% of what people donates to me, wich isn't too bad. I sat about 1 hour at the phone today (it was a testday) and I collected around 87 bucks, that's like 17 bucks on one hour(I think, I suck at math) , but I doubt I will have that much luck everyday.

So, tell me about your job, if you have one.

My 'job' for now is school and swimming, but next summer, I'm probably going to be a lifeguard.

Congrats on your new Job Mast3rofPuppets! If it sucks or not (most jobs do) it's money right?

I too just got a 'new' job a couple weeks ago. I am a Gateway Technical Support Agent. When people go to www.gateway.com and call that Technical support number, it goes to me (or the other 300 tech's). We then try and figure out the problems your having with your PC, and either troubleshoot with you to fix it, or bring it in for service. It's not a fun job, but sometimes I get some cool people, others can be rude, and some are plain stupid and should NOT own a PC.

A guy called the other day because he put a floppy disk in backwards, and when he went to pull it out the metal on the disk bent and got stuck. (moron!).

anyway that's it. It's long 8 and 9 hour days, full-time. Right now I am on 3pm-11pm, but it changes all the time.

Thanks Gizmo , and yeah, some people can be very rude, this is one if the phonecalls I called today:

-Me: Hi, i'm calling form the cancer and allergy fund blablablabla do you want to donate some money to support our work?
-Him: You know what, I have four kids and I drive a car, and you environment funds hate cars so I hate you
*CLICK*

I was like I mean environment fund? wtf? We're collecting money to support cancer and allergy research, wtf does that have to do with environment?
