I got a job

Posted 07-12-2011 at 08:45 AM by STM
I have a job working at a building site now. My dad arranged it which was good of him and it's my first one. I'm a little apprehensive but I'm also really looking forward to it. I think it's minimum wage but that's better than nothing and I worked out I'll probably come out with over a grand by the time I finish in September! That's more money than I know what to do with, so I'll put it away and then get a motorbike next year, yey!!

You could invest it in my research. I have accidentally found a solution to CCD, but it needs work to resolve their resultant carnivorous preferences.

If you are serious would you like to PM me, I would seriously be happy in investing some money into your project if meant success.

It also makes the bees humongous and devastating. I may have let some sort of horrific genie out here.

Right well you got my hopes up a little too much for my liking there. You shouldn't say stuff like that to a bee keeper.

Just destroying my reputation so that I can enjoy climbing back up. It's like replaying an old game.

Yeh well if you understood how much of a problem CCD is then you wouldn't even say something like that. I mean I was prepared to give you £1000 just now that's how much hope I just had.

You see you keep saying that thinking that's funny too but my Gran died of that.

Just saying, nothing's sacred.

I had a similar flippant back-and-forth thing going on over at Deviantart yesterday, with one of their well known conservative fucktards. He started and maintained an argument with me even though every post I made in reply, and indeed my original post to which he first responded, was composed entirely of quotes from Jurassic Park.



Oh, my nonsense has taken over your blog. I'm genuinely sorry about that.

No worries, there's only so much you can talk about work, or any conversation, before it naturally evolves.

I remember one of the first times I tried to detach myself from a dumb argument on here also involved a sudden desire to post dinosaur-related media. I think I was yelling at Sekto.

Anyway, good job getting a good job! How much is Minimum wage for you, anyway? It's $10.35 (CDN) over here. Which is around 5 or 6 pounds I think.

£3.64 for my age. Which is good.

£3.64 per hour? Wait, what?

I can get... er... £10.67 per hour just getting rid of weeds around where I live, and there aren't even any set hours. I just do it when I feel like it.

Maybe I should do it more often...

I lose all my jobs because they start brilliantly, the cool people leave, and then it gets shit and boring.

My job kind of sucks. You can only work at a Maxi Pad factory so long before you realize min. wage isn't enough fore literally back breaking labor.

Ask for a raze, if it is unskilled labour (I dunno if it is or not) then you should quickly be able to ask for what everyone else is earning I think...actually, don't hold me to that.

I was getting £5.94 per hour when I was your age and even that was shit. Seriously, when your first pay comes in and you're thinking about all the hours you worked, and thinking about all the moolah you assume you're going to get, you're going to be fucking disappointed. Severely.

£3.64 is shit pay. I'd be more excited about getting the experience more than the money with that.

Well it's minimum wage, I might get more but when you were my age the economic crisis allowed for better starting wages. You oldster.

I'm worried about getting the train, partly because I don't know how to change over and I'd get lost, but also if I do get the train there goes half my money on fees.

minimum wage at 16 is good. I'm 17 now and would love a small job that pays minimum. its more money i get from pocket money anyway.

I never got pocket money, either I worked for it or I was just given it as and when I asked for it. But not like vast amounts of money, never more than £10.
