Worked my first eight hour work day

If 8 hours is bad - try working in Eastern Europe. 36 hour shifts (2 hours of sleep) and you are paid fuck all for it.

What kind of work are you doing? I work 10.5 hour days so that I have 3 days off in a row. It sucks too, but it's worth it.
I work for painting at my college over the summer. It's pretty brain dead work. But it's from 7am to 3:30pm with two half hour breaks. It's a 40 hour work week at minimum wage so there's that I guess. Everyone kept congratulating me like it was done kind of huge achievement. Like yay I get to work

lol well you know getting a job is supposed to be a huge milestone for young adults, but it's really like congrats haha you have to work now.
And I don't get it! Like wow, great I get to work custodian again. So admirable. Don't get me wrong, I appreciate the people that do this work, but it feels beneath me

You should find a temp agency to put you in an office job that isn't custodial. I got my job with no office experience.

How about no? That's like slave labor. I'm good. You should turn your nose up that, love. You're better than that.

It's always tough at first
Just give it some time you'll get acclimated
Nope.
What did you work
retail
What did you find difficult
being happy

I can see being on your feet doing the same thing for 8 hours getting boring
But it's tolerable

If you were expecting to have fun working retail, you set yourself up

Elai · May 08, 2017, 04:21:19 PM

Don't worry, it gets easier. I mean, I only understand the "you'll like capitalism when you get your first job" insofar that I'm making than 20K a year and something like 30% of my money is going to taxes... but I'm one of the demographics that should be benefiting from a lower tax rate. If I was making enough to stay afloat this wouldn't really be a problem

Yeah, sounds like a masochist to me. I mean, if you're going to work hours like that, be a professional mule and get paid $30 bucks an hour for it.

Hell at least get paid more than minimum wage $30 an hour is something that is more plausible when you have a degree... wait does he have a college degree?

Be careful what you wish for. 10 hours a day 4 days a week at a machine shop can be hell. My primary job is a machinist but I've had to do other tasks that are rather challenging for me.

I'll just say this right now. Squaring ends 10 hours a day sucks. You have to wear a respirator mask, goggles, rubber gloves, the whole 9 yards just to square the edges of the parts you machined, and they have to be in tolerance, if it ends up being undersize, its scrap. Too many scraps and you're in trouble. The most I've scraped is at least 3, because its hard to maintain tolerance when you're slightly over.

This is all because our Benching and Square Ends guy got fired. Luckily I didn't have to do that today, but I'm probably gonna do that tomorrow.

There are days where it gets extremely overwhelming, but it pays well. I hope I move on to better parts soon.

Oh and you don't get to decide your breaks. You have a scheduled time for your breaks and lunch.
