It's not bad being that its all hardware and most of the time its a bit more complex and less mind numbing than simply scanning the item.

People there are nice, its like living in a small town.

But its part time and i make 9$ an hour so, its a decent starter job.

im sure everyone is superbly interested now!

The cashiers at the hardware store I go to are great - they know a ton of practical shit. Wish I worked at a hardware store before I bought a house. Sounds like a great job, actually.

Where?

NCS in Iowa City.

Presently, I work for a university publisher in the medical journals division. I manage a few people on one particular journal and do a fair amount of manuscript editing and other prepublication stuff. It's okay, but I've done it for several years and am starting to burn out on it. I'm taking an accounting class right now and am considering applying to business school.

WAGE SLAVE.

i'm a "gift planner" for a university.

that means i help people, usually over the age of 55, make gifts to the university.

many of these gifts, such as various charitable lead and remainder trusts, and charitable gift annuities, provide a tax deduction and income for the donor, and leave a remainder to the university when the donor dies.

i also deal with the deceased's estates and living trusts.

I work in publishing - processing Communication Technology books from manuscript receipt, right through to the final tangible product.

I used to be a tree surgery foreman - that pulled me way more chicks, but fuck was it hard work.

Bus and train passes. Printing them, mailing them, logging them, handing them out, etc

2 days a week dealing with the ones that people buy, 3 days a week dealing with the people who get them for free due to recently starting a new job. You wouldn't believe how pissed people get if there is a hiccup in their application for a free rail card or bus pass.

I once (yonks ago) got arrested for forging a weekly bus pass. Stupidly I gave my name to the conductor who spotted I'd fiddled the date using my crafty skills with scissors and glue - 3 months later a policeman knocks on the door and takes me down the nick for a caution..
I suppose that wouldn't happen to you.

oh yeah, i also sell pumpkins and xmas trees and set-up the lots on which they are sold. i put set-up lighting, dig holes, and put in posts and crap like that.
