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

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! | ||

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.) | ||

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. | ||

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. | ||

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.  | ||
