So you sell Apple Watches?

We sell fine jewelry.  Not glorified iPhones.  Smile  But we do sell pre-owned Rolexes.  My particular company isn't a certified Rolex dealer, but our sister store is, and we get trade-ins from them.

What kind of punching are we talking about? I have a deep, if somewhat recent interest in boxing, personally. I bought a heavy bag about half a year ago and god damn do I love it.

I work part-time for a government contractor doing social science studies.

It's a lot less interesting than it sounds.

I work for UPS at a cargo airport. In other words, I load and unload planes/trucks. Outside that, I also work part time in security.

I've done about seven years of Muay Thai and six in BJJ (Brazilian jiu-jitsu). A bit of Okinawan karate thrown in there with some judo.

Currently I work for a large Fast Food company (largest in the world....) it's not as bad as people imagine, or rather wouldn't be if the hours were better. I work with some great people and have made some good friends. The downside is the customers....

Before this I have done tech support, clothes retail, was a trainee manager for Games Workshop (my favourite job to date) and worked at the same fast food chain but in a different location as the start to my retail/food service career. I have also done a stint as a cleaner and had a paper round when I was young.

All this in 5/6 years.

Don't be. A job is a job after all, especially in this climate.

It's seriously cool to see what everyone does. This community is very eclectic!

I lead a team of programmers, mostly writing video clients, for the most profitable porn company in the history of mankind HBO.

I study psychology. That's all I do. I don't really have the need for more money, so I don't have a job. However, I am strongly considering becoming a teacher's assistant or English tutor of some sort, as I live in a Spanish-speaking country and English teachers are always in demand.

I still say one of the most -fun- jobs I ever had was flipping hamburgers. The job itself is never something to be ashamed of. If I could actually survive on what they insist on paying for that job, I'd go back to it in a heartbeat.

Sorry ol' beings, if I told you I'd have to kill you haha!

... but seriously. I really would.

I worked at McDonalds before I enlisted. I can't say I was too fond of it, mostly because they were actively keeping me from any upward mobility - keeping me in the Drive Thru taking orders and cleaning trays. Oh, and they got mad strict with what you said over said Drive Thru when the new management came in (the original manager - the guy I liked - walked out after an altercation with them). I actually got sent home early because I would say "What size would you like that?" instead of "Would you like that super-sized?".

Apparently not up-selling at every possible opportunity was a bad thing.

The closest I had to this was cranking when I was active duty Navy. I respect the heaps of drama you have to deal with working in this sort of environment.
