    So what type of job do you have? What _SHOULD_ you be doing when instead your browsing boards.ie?

    I'm just a part time banquetting staff at a hotel working, only get about 20 hours a week but I suppose I get enough money from it! Doesnt hinder my ability to post on Boards either which is good, although it does usually wreck my weekends :(

    Doing the same myself, only i wouldnt get 20 hours a week.

    Looking for something more regular now, but i should have done that much earlier as part time jobs are hard to come by during the summer.

    been there... done that

    one of the most ****e jobs around. customers are a bunch of fools as well as head office and dm's and audit. between holding back incentive payments and spying on staff with not so well hidden cameras and then your manager being an ass and the unbelievable limitations on your skimpy 5 rentals a week it was a load of boll0x.

    curently working weekend night shifts in a tesco branch. pay is good and i get to listen to my mp3 player all night long.. pretty cool. plus the staff are a good laaugh and i work with a few of my friends so...
