    I like my job now but m leaving that soon to join the army, just waiting on the letter.

    I'm funded by the EU to do 'research' but in truth no one cares if I do anything, so basically I get paid to do what I want. My contract is up in a few months, so these days I roll in at 11 do a bit of work and head off at 4. The only reason I do anything is coz I want to go to a conference in Montreal soon. Whats better is the Irish Government have given me 2 more years funding for when I get home...so thanks tax payers mwuahahaha!

    I like my job at the moment as I got transferred to a better section. The paperwork is a bit much at times but I'm getting used to it. Dealing with the public is tiring and sometimes fruitless, but occasionally you get to do something decent for good people.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,119 ✭✭✭Wagon


    Boring and frustrating. Luckily im only temping for a few weeks.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 13,224 ✭✭✭✭Kinetic^


    The work is fail tbh but I get free tickets to a lot of gigs and they're flexible enough so I like it.

    I'd say you'll be biting on a whole load of banger then!!!!!!

    I cry myself to sleep at night


    in joy for the next day. My job rules, I have a position of power over people who earn 6 or 7 digit salary's.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 570 ✭✭✭stevecrow74


    i get to work 2 - 3 hours every now and again, during that time i get to drink beer and whiskey(or what ever takes my fancy), with quite a few hot chic's dancing around in front of me, nearly always end up at a party afterwards where there is always copious amounts of alcohol and wimmin, dont ever have to wake up before 2pm (unless i have to find my own bed) and still get paid more per hour than anyone else i know that has a proper job ;)

    I hate my job. I work with people i hate and its the same thing day in day out. I would leave but im very fussy. I have been job hunting but i haven't any job offers yet.
    I feel as if im wasting my brain there. I never use it. As long as im still there, i have to keep my mind active in other ways. In the past two years i have learnt how to drive, swim and now im taking guitar lessons. I dont know what else il learn after the guitar. Any ideas?

    Nah, not really, and when you're a barman you have to deal with abuse and assholes. Just yesterday I had to deal with a drunken ass trying to belittle my life cuz I'm a barman and 23. I'm IN BETWEEN jobs thanks very much ;)
    But the few beers after work can be sweet but it ends up becoming a way to blow off steam and next thing ya know, you're an alcoholic!!

    Sales assistant, yeah it can be, people I work with are great and the stories are always fun, good atmosphere. Can get loads of abuse though.

    I'm in the process of changing jobs, old job had its fun moments, but I was mostly too stressed to try and find more fun times.

    New job looks like a lot of hard work but seems like it could be fun.

    Two funnest jobs I had were 1) working behind the bar in The Bridge House, Tullamore. Main bar and niteclub were always good craic, between staff and customers 2) working on the door of several venues around Dublin town. Always good craic, would have kept working only the hours were too much.

    Well doing nothing has its rewards I suppose.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 534 ✭✭✭neaideabh


    I work at making sure that Dunnes Stores get what they ordered in a distribution centre and like it but the best job I ever had was in Mc D's the summer I finished school!
