I am currently on the hunt for a day job to support myself as I continue to try and write and I am curious as to what day jobs (if any - maybe y'all so successful that you don't need one) you have? I am looking for a part-time job that doesn't involve late nights (I need my beauty sleep or I wake up like Shrek).
What do you guys do?
Dealing with complaints for Tesco. I must've done something wrong in a previous life to get stuck with this shit.

Ah......now then Balf!
Sorry got put into calls for an hour there. Needed to vent. I'm at the mercy of stores and suppliers who don't even have a concept of arse and elbows. NNYYAARRRGH!

That's like a job in a shop without all the fun.
I'm a student/shelf-stacker
Both are wonderful.

Are you very tall?
I can never reach half the shelves when I'm in a shop.
Well most people use ladders, I'm only about 5'10 or 5'11 so I can't properly stack the top shelves without a ladder, but it's more fun to stack them blind cos you may knock something over the far side if you're not careful which adds a bit of risk to it... although I've noticed one of the shelves has a gap between it and the next one so next day I'm there, I'm gonna have a look to see if there's loadsa old stock-
I'll just cut off there actually, I think it's great fun overall.

Haha!
What shop is it?
It's an Irish one, standard supermarket. Do bits of everything. Fairly sure I lost out on an assistant managers position by telling my employers that "I prefer jumping through the bins at the back than dealing with customers".
Oh dear me.
Well as long as you're happy!
In the bins.
A job of simple and constantly varying tasks is great, like some sort of glorious meditation.
I get to start films for people who think popcorn is over priced.

"Through bins?" are you the terminator.
A proper grown up job awaits Sootyj in the next couple of weeks.
One of which sounds like a administrative bondage dominant.
They were short on bins at the back for a few weeks and Christmas, asked if I wound mind compressing the contents cos no one else wanted to, I said I'd love to and from that I got the anecdote of the time I triped while jumping from one bin to the other, falling over onto a trolley, which rolled over to a set of steps that I fell down
...finally the trolley fell down the steps onto me.
