Talk About Work Thread

Common sense is not so common to some. :hehe:
Don't worry about it. There are people like that everywhere. You can't hide from those kind of people no matter where you go. :beaten:

I don't want to make it sound like I'm complaing(even though I am) I've been on unemployment 3 different times, and given a choice between a job or unemployment, I'll take the job anytime :applaud: But, this is the "talk crap about work" thread, not the " I love my job! I love my job!! I love my job!!!" thread.(That would be a very short thread!)

I love my job. They feed me 3 meals a day, and may immediate boss has a office space mentality so he doesn't rag on us. As long as we get our projects done, everything's cool. Unless it's a project from the CTO, then we don't sleep.

eh, my job is....interesting. i work at Disneyland. i'm the person inside the mickey mouse, minnie mouse, or chip n dale costume for the meet n greet. the pay is awesome but the kids are insane! they grab and pull and knock you down. i'm going to quit soon. my poor body can't take anymore. :shamefulcry:

Where do you work? The only places I know where you get fed 3 times a day are the military and in prison!

That's terrible that you get knocked down. Is it very hot in the suits? During summer I wonder if everyone is o.k. wearing those.

I may have met you and not known. My wife and I took our picture with Chip and Dale and also with Pluto seperatly a few months ago. When we flew out on vacation.

yea, the kids are crazy! especially when the parents don't do anything and just stand there. i'm just glad that there is another staff member to go around with me. the nice thing about the suits is that it has mini air conditioners built into the suits so it doesn't get extremely hot during summer. the suit is heavy and it takes awhile to learn how to get used to it.

most likely i may have met you, if it was during the summer or early june. i work the most during summer since it's the busiest and this year was the 50th anniversary.

I should start asking "Are you MissMonika" when I see the characters at Disneyland. :rofl:

we now have the F**KING SLOWEST motorized elevator on planet.

I clocked it... 2:04 to get from our floor (10th) to the lobby. No stops.

Is it powered by hamsters? :hehe:

For heart health, take the stairs.

i take the stairs up in the mornings, going to lunch requires the fastest possible exit.

we've debated on whether we could hit the pool or the jacuzzi from jumping out of the window here.

we decided the wind would push us back towards the A/C units.

That would be undesirable.

Only for whoever jumps, oodles of laughs for the rest of us.
