Talk about where you work here. Also, talk about places where you wish to work in the future. (EDIT: Freelance and internships count as well.)

I recently RSVP'd for a job interview at an ice cream parlor. :blush: I'm really excited!

I'm in the Navy, actually leaving my ship next week after four years of being stationed on it.
It doesn't matter what you say, soon you'll be dead anyway.

I work at a golf club. It's okay. Coworkers are likable for the most part. Job itself is serviceable. Overall, a source of money. Not much more than that, and not a huge personal connection to it.

I also work at a music venue in Philly. That job is awesome, but it's only in the summer, which thankfully is coming up.

So today, I got paid to basically do nothing but play on my phone. I actually visited this site at some point while there, but didn't post anything.

Can't complain too much, can I?

I'd complain about coming to this site, even if I was paid while doing it.

Kitchen cabinet finisher. Wood stain application, spraying high quality lacquers, paints. And when not too overly busy spraying, I can actually get out of the spray booth and do some prep work!  :e_shocked:

I miss my previous job of making antique furniture reproductions, though. I was involved in nearly every aspect of their manufacture. This was stuff that was built with REAL wood and meant to last a lifetime. Unfortunately, not enough people were willing to pay for such good quality product and the business ended up folding.

Before that, I worked at a pottery studio. Made plates, mugs, jewellery and figurines. Lots of labor involved.

A career in animation was something I once wanted to pursue. My high school art teacher tried to encourage me to go to an art college because she saw potential in my drawing ability and thought I had one hell of an imagination for it. :il_hahaha: It just didn't make sense for me at that time to pursue something like that - I needed a paying job and needed it quickly. Going to art college, well, I couldn't see myself landing a job in art and design quick enough.

Micki!

Come to Denmark and let our socialist welfare carry you as you pursue your true dreams in animation!!! :shakeshakeshake:

I feel like I should update this thread, since it's been inactive for two years.

The ice cream job I applied for (from the OP) unfortunately fell through, but I managed to pick things up. I now work at a property rental service, and the pay is quite good.

How have things been doing for the rest of you?

Pretty well. I was the first Employee Of The Month this year and trained a couple others who went on be EOTM

That sounds good for both of you! Congrats.

I'm working at Universal right now, doing food stuff. It's okay, but not something that I want to do for the rest of my life. I'm hoping to get to meet some higher-ups and do something with my degree eventually, like write for NBC or something. From what I've heard, it's not out of the question.
Life is not about the second chances. It's about a little mouse and his voyage to an exciting new land. That, my friend, is what life is.

Sir, do you have any Warrants?
I got their first CD, but you can't have it, motherfucker!
