Lately I've been doing a lot of temp work to supplement my income... and I think I've finally found the most boring job out there.

I'm sitting on my ass in a mall... counting the number of people who walk into a particular store. A very unpopular store at that... Really I thought this wouldn't be that bad.... but wow I'm bored out of my mind, lol.

On the plus side, they want me to count people from 12-1:30, and again from 5:30-7, and they pay me for all 7 hours... so I have four hours in between that I can do whatever I want to....

but goddamn am I BORED T_T;;

just wanted to rant, don't mind me.

****

I know how you feel man, I was a lifeguard all summer in New Hampshire, we have some cold days even in the summer. Lifeguarding is always pretty boring, make it and empty or near empty pool and it gets even more boring.

Just think of the money

think about it this way
if you're getting paid like $10/hour
you're actually getting paid like $23/hour since you get 4 hours free
what an amazing deal for just counting people

Creepy? Hey now I'm gettin' paid to sit around at a mall and stare at people.

A lot of people do look at me weird though considering I'm like making tally marks on a paper and such.

edit: thanks! it's my birthday in Korea time, whooo

The obvious answer is to get a second temp job at the mall at another store.

wow that's such a weird job haha.

most places use a laser at the front door (or some other trigger) to automatically count how many ppl walk through the front door.

I'm guessing it is a seasonal thing to see increased customership during the holidays and Haemonculus is cheaper than a laser. (feel free to make your own prostitution jokes to yourselves about that, I'm too lazy atm)

Couldn't agree more tbh. It's really dumb. I mean I could not even show up, give them some arbitrary number, and probably get away with it. Kinda silly.

Also I'm 23. For another 12 hours or so at least, o.o; Gettin' old, one foot in grave, etc

Oh, I'm counting men/women separately. Probably the only thing that separates me from a laser in this case, lol.

During your last week, just fuck with them:
X women
Y men
3 Eunuchs
5 Hermaphrodites

Where X and Y are completely reasonable numbers.

I think this belongs in the "Creeping people out when you don't mean to" thread because if I saw someone in a store just staring at people that walk in and writing something on a notepad I would be creeped out.

But honestly, my god, what a boring ass job. At least you get paid though, I mean all those creepers out there do the same thing you do but for no pay! Think of the unpaid creepers D:
