Where do you work and what do you do?

-----

My Job: Security Guard
Where: Chemical Plant (Shut Down)
What I Do: I sit on my ass playing games for a few hours, take a 20min walk around the plant, play games for a few more hours, another 20min walk, play games for a few more hours, another 20min walk, play games untill my shift is over. I have 12 hour night shifts doing almost no work and I get payed for it. :P

That was not a very nice thing to post, I was about to direct a mod/admin to this topic and that would have easily gotten you suspended.

My Job: Finishing Assistant
Where: Transcontinental Printing: RBW Graphics (Printing Factory)
What I do: Various things as a Finishing Assistant. When working on the pockets, making sure each one of them is loaded, and any papers that could possibly jam the machine have to be removed. All depending on that job, each section of the print could go by quickly or slowly so having multiple pockets ( usually 3, sometimes around 5 ) can either be easy or bothersome if it's going too quickly.

If on a loader, then making sure the entire part of the machine is fully loaded with each stack ( usually around 3000-6000 sections ) and just like before, making sure that any of the sections that could possibly jam the machine or cause rejects to come out must be removed.

When on the end of the line, could be doing a few things. Usually it's just piling down the orders onto skids. Getting them from the machine and then placing them in a certain order on the skid. After about 140 or so bundles ( about 1100 books or so ) remove the skid, call the people over with the computer who take it to shipping, and get a new skid ready to go. Each skid takes ~10 mins to do or so, I prefer doing this because it seems to make the time go by faster. When doing Mailing, it's essentially the same but each skid is different sized and if there are rejects made from earlier, then we need to add the re-ordered prints in the correct bundles since these are all inkjetted for customer's addresses, they all need to be together.

The few times i've been on the press... eh.... being the lowest ranked person there just means when the machine jams or rips the paper going through it, I sit there and watch while the rest of them fix the issue.

12 hour shifts, they vary from days to nights each week with 7 days a month and 7 nights a month. But I do work part time right now so I'm not always needed for those shifts. It's one of the better places to work here.... however it's not exactly a place to plan my own future at

My Job: Construction Worker.
Where: Wherever it's needed.
What I Do: Hang/cut sheetrock, stack sheetrock, break down walls (lots of fun :P) Replace ceiling grids and tiles, put in doors/door frames. Build walls (boring as fuck)

Really, me and the people I work with (including my dad) do pretty much anything on the site, depends what the contractor wants. We normally have to fix all the fuck ups of every one else, ie electricians, IT guys (I stole their lan cables cuz they left it out ) plumbers <--- VERY STUPID PEOPLE, and whoever else makes a mess/fucks something up.

My Job: Cashier/Manager
Where: Grocery store
What I Do: Mostly cashier, pretty obvious what I do as that. Right now they have me training to be a manager of the front-end, Central Checkout Manger. Yesterday was the first day I was actually on my own, nothing really big happened. Mostly what I was doing was running a operations board, basically telling people where to go, what lanes to open up, sending people on breaks/lunch/home, but I also help other cashiers with any problems they&#39;re having(manager overrides), any problems that customers are having, etc. Pretty much interact with people. Ive been with the company for about 3 years now, all-in-all a great experience so far. Decent pay too, I average about $175 a week for 20-30 hour weeks, but as soon as I&#39;m done with training I jump up to about $10 an hour, after taxes.

@Metalkon, How much do you make an hour? Ive always wanted to look into a security job position, but never really considered it.

@phantom, My aunt use to work for a printing company, Oberthur Gaming (dunno if i spelled that right), printing lottery tickets. Seemed like pretty good work, workout too cuz she got huge arms now from working there, always lifting and whatnot.

Only ~$10/h for a manager style postition? damn

And ya it&#39;s not bad weight wise. The bundles of magazines are only like 20-30 lbs, but the bundles of sections that if moved off the skid ( not supposed to do... but it&#39;s alot easier ) are like.... 75-130lbs or so all depending on what style of paper had to be used

Thats not bad for just sitting there most of the time

As far as my pay, its only introductory for a couple of months, jumps up another $4-5 after that. If I were to move to full time, I would be getting $25+, but that means 40+ hour weeks, and for me right now school>work. For being 19, I could be doing worse things.
