Job Thread

[(Anonymous)]

Goooooo!

Re: Job Thread

[(Anonymous)]

I never got the appeal of these threads. I'm not trying to put you down, but could you tell me why you're curious about this? I just find it odd.

Re: Job Thread

[(Anonymous)]

What are we supposed to talk about in this thread? It's not really clear.

Re: Job Thread

[cushlamochree]

The Book of Job, obviously.

Re: Job Thread

[siofrabunnies]

That book is so interesting. The whole play between God and Satan. Who's really the evil one? Are humans just playthings on a cosmic poker table? Is Job a truly faithful man, or a clueless rube, or enthusiastically resigned to his fate between Lesser and Greater Evils?

Re: Job Thread

[cushlamochree]

I think the intended reading, at least, has to be that Job is basically faithful, his submission to God is basically admirable, and that God is good, or at least something which it is necessary to worship and admire. That's a tough pill to swallow in modern times, though.

Re: Job Thread

[cloud_riven]

It always read to me like the kind of manipulative testing lovers might do ("Do they really love me?"), which is what I'd expect from a Greek myth or the Eddas for instance.

Re: Job Thread

[fingalsanteater]

Personally, I prefer Song of Songs. Though, as a kid, I was partial to Revelations. I was really into that end times junk.

I forget the book, but I always liked that part where Abraham was going to kill his kid because God said so and god was like "lol j/k."

Re: Job Thread

[othellia]

Oh man, so Revelations. I went and saw the Omen remake in 2006 when it came out and the whole opening is narration from the Book of Revelations with visuals of matching events in the past several years.

And I was like "wow. not that i think the end has come, but that's pretty freaky they were able to match up every single line like that."

And then I went home and looked them up in our bible, AND HALF THE LINES WEREN'T EVEN IN THERE. 2006 OMEN WAS FULL OF SHIT. :|

Re: Job Thread

[(Anonymous)]

Your icon looks like it should sing the Song of Dongs.

Re: Job Thread

[ibbity]

I was always partial to Ruth. She knew what was what. Also the Abraham story you're thinking of is from Genesis.

Re: Job Thread

[(Anonymous)]

I love the fact that we have an ancient Joy of Sex book smack-dab in the middle of a collection that's carried around and frequently quoted by some of the most sex-phobic people on earth.

(Note: I'm not saying Christians in general and/or Bible readers are total prudes, but the most prudish I've seen are some of the biggest Bible thumpers around.)

Re: Job Thread

[nan]

I feel like I should appreciate my job more since I supposedly get to make my own hours, but my boss is mean (as in everyone in this office has cried at least once because of her) and I tend to work when the office is closed (nights and weekends) so I get texts and phonecalls in my off hours because that's when everyone else is there. There's no sorts of boundaries (I voluntarily worked fourteen days in a row because a coworker was on vacation. the day he came back, I asked for a day off and was completely guilt tripped over it).

At the same time, I know my boss has a good heart (it's just wrapped up in evil), I volunteered to work nights, weekends, and holidays so I could get hours, and I knew what kind of work I'd be doing before I started working here.

Fast Food: AKA CUSTOMERS WHAT ARE YOU DOING

[(Anonymous)]

I love my job. I really do. It's people I hate.

Any of you ever hear about that trick? For fresh fries, ask for no salt and then salt them yourself? Yeah, FUCK THAT.

Unless you LEGIT DO NOT WANT SALT, do not ask for no salt fries. And don't waltz in and demand 'I want fresh fries, not those ones you have sitting there!'

You know why? Our fries have a shelf life of seven minutes before we throw them out. And we do in fact follow that rule. Since May, we have thrown out fries twice while I was working. Why? Because we are ALWAYS making fries and most of the time cannot actually keep enough made to meet the demand instantaneously. Half the time you see people pulled up to the waiting spot, they are waiting on fries (or grilled chicken).

And when you ask for no salt? We have to put down a brand new batch just for you, even if we JUST pulled a batch out (because those are already salted and even if they aren't, they're in a salty bin). Two minutes and thirty seconds is AN ETERNITY in drive through time. If you're in the store, you're getting your fries last. If you're in the drive through, you are making everyone behind you wait. (And heaven help us if there's a rush)

So, if you want no salt on your fries for dietary reasons or taste preferences? Ask me for no salt. I'll make it with a smile (not just because I have to, but because I WANT you to enjoy your meal)

If you just want fresh fries? Say 'I'd like some fries' because yours are guaranteed to be piping hot.

tldr: fast food anon has a lot of anger over fries.

Re: Fast Food: AKA CUSTOMERS WHAT ARE YOU DOING

[comma_chameleon]

Can... can we ask for double-fried fries? I've never been brave enough to ask because I don't want to inconvenience people, but I really really like my fries crispy.

Re: Fast Food: AKA CUSTOMERS WHAT ARE YOU DOING

[(Anonymous)]

I feel for you anon! I remember working at McDonald's and I would get pretty annoyed at the customers who complain about the fries. Once, we had just changed out the frying oil so the fries were a bright golden color and one lady was staring at it, looking a little disgusted and said, "THEY DON'T LOOK COOKED!" even though she was standing there WATCHING us fry it for 3-4 minutes.

Re: Fast Food: AKA CUSTOMERS WHAT ARE YOU DOING

[(Anonymous)]

i don't know what fucking place you work at but i'd like to know because 9 times out of 10 my fucking fries are lukewarm and fucking gross and i specifically ask for unsalted because that's the only way i'm guaranteed fries that won't taste like bullshit

Re: Fast Food: AKA CUSTOMERS WHAT ARE YOU DOING

[(Anonymous)]

I can kind of relate. One of my part time jobs I work as a clerk where we get lots of complaints and strange people periodically.

Also my first job was in fast food and my specialty was fries so I am all the way with you on wait time, shelf life etc. I try to explain to my mother that the fries are fresh but she keeps insisting otherwise.

Re: Job Thread

[ill_omened]

My Sergant is putting me forward to move across to a Response team.

It's massive case of mixed blessings. On the one hand I know that it's going to hugely upskill me at operationally dealing with calls, and I might actually finish on time everyday. As well as the fact that there's a bit of a clash of personalities currently.

On the other hand I'm not going to do any of the investigative shit that I love so much, team has a proper blokey atmosphere, there won't be a fraction of the training opportunities, and I'm going to go from a tight knit team of under ten half of who I lead to probie on a team of twenty plus. But hell, six months and then I can actually start putting in for the really interesting postings.

Re: Job Thread

[(Anonymous)]

You have a job?!

Re: Job Thread

[kaijinscendre]

I have what is basically a manual labor job. But it pays twice as much as any job I could find that was related to my degree in my area. : / And it is a pretty sweet gig.

Re: Job Thread

[kallanda_lee]

Honestly I'm considering it. I'm very bad at sitting still and if not actually working in media, if you strip it down to abilities hat I have left are language and computer skill. Which generally land me either desk jobs, or worse, call center temps. I absolutely loathe office environments, especially noise ones.

Re: Job Thread

[(Anonymous)]

Kind of hating my job. My supervisor has been rubbing me, and everyone else, the wrong way for months. He's new to our line of work (I think he's been with the company for about 7 or 8 months) and he's always trying to micromanage us.

But things escalated into something entirely different today for me with him. So these past two weeks, he's been kind of weirdly fascinated with me having makeup on. I've always worn makeup to work, mostly just foundation, blush, luminizer and finishing powder, but every now and then I go out a bit more. Yesterday he saw me and was like, "What's with the lipstick and blush?" and I was like, "Nothing?"

It kind of weirded me out, like maybe it bothered him? So I went with just a little tinted moisturizer today, and I was having a conversation with my lead about our supervisor, and my lead told me that our supervisor actually asked if the reason I "began" wearing makeup these past two weeks because there was this new guy that came to work with us.

At first, I laughed, like, "Holy shit, is this guy serious? I wear makeup everyday." But I sat on it for a few minutes and I just suddenly began filling up with rage. I can wear as little or as much makeup as I damn well fucking please, it's none of his fucking business. ALSO I don't know if my supervisor knows but women don't do things like dress a certain way or put on makeup for the purpose of trying to impress a guy. I don't wear makeup to send people messages on whether or not I am looking for a boyfriend/potential dating partner. I wear makeup because when I put on makeup it makes ME feel good about going out/myself, even if just a little.

I was talking about it to one of my coworkers and she told me that her boyfriend told her that she didn't have to put on makeup or wear cute dresses, because he liked her more/just fine in shorts and tees and her being makeup free, and she told him, "I know, but the thing is I also have to look at myself in the mirror," and I was like, "THANK YOU!"

Another coworker of mine said that our supervisor came up to her and also asked her about why I "began" wearing makeup and if it was over the new guy. For the record, no. I didn't wear more makeup for the new guy. I wore more makeup because NYX had a 40% off sale and I was trying out the new stuff I bought from the sale.

I have already been getting racist and misogynistic vibes from my supervisor and this incident more or less was the boiling point for me with the misogyny angle.

Re: Job Thread

[(Anonymous)]

I don't know what solution to suggest, but for a boss/supervisor to be commenting on your physical appearance is inappropriate and weird, period. (Beyond a simple "You look nice today", maybe.)

People who feel entitled to comment on the physical appearance of others is a major pet peeve of mine.

"Welcome to the WORLD famous..."

[nyxelestia]

I have seen more $100 and $50 bills in the last two months than I have ever seen in my entire life. On the bright side, apparently my Spanish is enough good enough for me to pass as a very awkward and quiet Hispanic girl! :P

A little less randomly, I have to question why the hell we filled out availability sheets saying when we're available to work when the supervisors ignore them. Apparently, we'll just get assigned when they need us regardless of when we said we can work because it's summer season, and all we can really do is hope to find someone who we can switch shifts with.

And for a while, I said I can't do closing shifts (due to transportation issues), but they said I can't be unavailable all the nights if I'm not a minor because to only give me one "type" of shift would show favoritism - which makes no sense because most people would prefer to have the bulk of their shifts during a set time-period, regardless of when that time period actually is. HOW IS IT FAVORITISM? And anyway, I call bullshit, because for all that they claim ignoring that part of my availability sheets is to give variety in the kind of shifts I get, for the last few weeks I've been getting almost nothing but closing shifts. WHAT THE FUCK.
