But, can you listen to music while you work?
Then you can just kinda rock out on your own, and get paid for it.

The difference between this and a lifeguard is that a mistake here just skews the statistic a bit, whereas a mistake of a lifeguard can cost a life. Just like driving a car is totally boring but a mistake can cost lives.

Starting second shift now... lol. That rat post was just like... LOL WTF, so props to you. Certainly confused me for a bit, heh.

Anyway yeah I bring my ipod, laptop, and book, just totally forgot my book today, which was lame. I need to at least look like I'm paying attention to the store though, otherwise I would totally just be playing games instead of just browsing TL.

This isn't the most boring overall job I've had, I once worked as a secretary at a flooring company and the first week they had me doing nothing but matching paint samples to swatches in a book. That was just.... omg fml.

Been pretty nice though today. Just shopped during my downtime, and then played a little medieval2. Now I'm back to... sitting on my ass staring at a store, trying to look very focused, while writing here, ^.^;

And much thanks for all the birthday wishes!

Do you count by hand or do you have a count clicker? And I always thought a lifeguard job is cool. Sit around, watch bikinis. Rat guy, I would've bought the story except the part where you started eating stuff. lol.

Lol thats a pretty ridiculous misconception, good job hollywood.

Lifeguarding is boring as fuck, but you can't lose your focus otherwise shit always hits the fan. You either guard a private club, which has mostly old people, or toddlers, or you work in a more public setting, in which you have too many people to deal with, which means chaos, which means, once again, non stop having to focus.

The number of times I was guarding when there was a hot girl and less than 10 people in the area to be guarding is......maybe twice, possibly three times.

It's not like its a bad job, but for the most part its underpaid and stressful, and you sit in the heat all day. I prefer my current job (which I'm at right now) where I watch some computer labs in my school, get paid mroe than lifeguarding paid me, work more hours, stay in an air conditioned office, and use my computer to do whatever i want (usually a combination of teamliquid, watching streams, talking on ventrilo/skype/msn, playing starcraft 2, SF4, poker, etc.)

Happy birthday!

All of us DC nerds should totally go to where you work and walk in and out of the same store like 50000 times. Unless you don't count people twice.

Hahaha no I'm like the queen of pretending I'm working in an office environment.

But staring at the laptop screen while I'm supposed to be counting people might look a bit bad.

But w/e I got paid to shop, so overall I'm pretty happy.

wow you're such a girl.

Also my project manager at my current job had the worst job ever. There used to be some kind of animal testing laboratory years back (he's old as heck) and they would inject all these drugs and stuff into dogs, cats, mice, guinea pigs, whatever.

When they were done doing these nasty things to these animals, they would throw them in a giant cremation chamber. This thing wasn't a pit in the ground, it was a small shed-sized building. Throw animal in, close door, turn on fire.

turn off fire, open door, throw animal in, close door, flame on.


My PM's job? Sweep the ashes and stuff out of the cremation chamber. He had to get INSIDE this thing and get all the gunk out. Be thankful for your boring sit-on-your-butt job.


And happy birthday.

At least you are not doing insulation in crawlspaces and attics, trust me you don't want to be laying on dead rats while sweating in 120 F heat and itching.

I have a friend who used to work at a massive brewery and he was in Quality Check. Apparently, at first you see a couple of flaws on beer bottles that are moving on a conveyor belt... Issues like the cap isn't put on properly and whatnot.

By the end of the day, it's a solid brown line in front of your eyes.
