What do you REALLY do at work?

Sit on a train. Read, books or mags. Take the train from point a to point b. Shoot the **** with my conductor. Take a van to the hotel.

 

waste time here

 

Computer jockey/post here/look for a new job(soon).

 

very little that i would call actual work.

 

What is a "work"?

 

Manager. I manage...hell if I know. I read more than work while I'm there.

I'm in school for the long haul, primary focus. That's my real job.

 

"Peter, we hear you've been missing some work." "I wouldn't say I've been missing it Bob"

 

Teach, Teach, screw off most of the time, then teach some more.

 

Pull $ out of my a$$ using magic.

wish I had an easy job

 

stand on a corner. . . get money all day.

 

Work ethic is gone. My job is very unsatisfying. Not to say I don't work when I'm there, but I do zone out. Super mundane, borderline redundant. I went to school for finance originally, ended up on the management end of a manufacturer.

Needless to say, I had a change of heart, now pushing into the medical field. Med school is ideal, unfortunately the time isn't there for it. Going for BSN into CRNA. Closest thing to MD I can get in half the time. Pay is stellar, and I still get to be in the trauma wing. Something new every day, new angles, keeps your mind sharp and pulse up.

I think a huge issue is outsourcing, meanwhile the population continues to grow. People used to go into fields they liked, or at least tolerated. Now with O-care in place, insane tax codes, and overall anti business political environment, businesses are being forced to hire part time and sub par employees to keep overhead as low as possible in order to stay in business.

People don't realize they are literally voting themselves out of jobs every time a progressive gets on office. I don't mean to make this political, but it really is. 92% of this country is employed by small business. The progressives implement these tax policies to "help the little guy", but what they fail to mention is that big biz can absorb the new overhead and survive. Small businesses get crushed, and are effected by the same policies put in place to punish successful businesses for being successful. This is what happens when you elect people that have never worked a day in their life in the private sector.

So. Work ethic no longer exists. We've killed commission work, made the cost of living absurd due to businesses passing off gov implemented costs onto the consumer, inflated every single market beyond belief, and expect people to work hard? It's gone, incentive ok longer exists.

I get pissed when I hear people ***** about businessmen...they write the damn pay checks. Logic would dictate that you probably want them to continue to make money.

Saw a teamster picket across from my office. Small biz, importing. 36 employees. Needless to say, big "success" for the thugs...36 people lost their livelihood because of this entitlement mentality. Biz was forced to close. He knew he'd be out of business in 2 years if he let them in. Now look.

This entitlement thing has to go. No offense to any of the older folks, but the hardcore blue dem BS and policies is what got us into this mess. Now my generation will be passing off debt to our great great grand kids because of it.





I could go on for days. I went to school for this. Worked in it. I see it for what it is, and people are virtually clueless as to how it works, make no attempt to understand, and still continue to vote themselves into the unemployment office...or into jobs they simply hate.

 

I feel better now.

I need a drink.

 

YES! but what can i do about it? Im studing finance because its sort of the thing to do and im just going with the flow. i have no idea what im interested in and want to do really. I want to ride waves as much as possible and stay active because that makes me the most happy but I have to have money to survive right? I dont want to bus tables or bartend forever i would lose it. School is weird not learning anything valuable just kinda doing random stuff so im seen as a valuable person after i have this imaginary degree that says finance on it. IDK i think im just another number in the grand scheme of things and truly believe things are gonna get worse around here. Just trying to nail every swell while im still youthful and enjoy it while i can you never know whats next.

 

this is a lil shortsighted (depending on overall goals), I speak from experience, but I am happy, not as much money as I could have, but I am happy that I rarely missed a swell

did you see the highest paid man in America is a Hedge-fund manager....400K/hr unreal. Id work an hour a month and call it year, but I know it doesn't work that way

and if you are making 400k/hour, it likely isn't honest at all, people somewhere are getting the shaft for him to make that kinda dough

 

I make sure the 1% are safe and can use their floating whore houses when they need.

 

Comp Sci degree. Worked for NIH briefly, hated it. Worked for Merryl Lynch in San Diego after that. Was okay, but 80 hour weeks keeping me from surf got me nuts. Start managing restaurants. Loved it. Moved to HHI to open a couple restaurants, did that. Working as the Director of Sales and marketing for a company right now. But in the future, I plan to open my own little restaurant with the wife. The restaurant game is the only field I have worked in and been completely content. Sleep well at night. When work is done, its done. Every day is a new day. Just getting the finances in order.... Its a risky, difficult business, but to me it's worth it. One of the last honest ways to get a successful business going in this country... Also very easy to fail, but man, the happiest people I have ever worked for and with are in the F&B business and I hope that is what I will ride off into the sunset.

I sacrificed a bigger paycheck, but did get out of the financial industry right before everything tanked, which was good. Did it all to focus on surfing. Wouldn't change a thing. Had the time of my life doing it.

My wife's uncle is the VP of one of the biggest firms in La Jolla. I will always have a job with him if I want to, but I don't know if thats what I want to do with my life. He basically lives in Wayne Manor in LJ, traveling all the time and basically doing whatever he wants, so hey, it can't be that bad.... just not my cup of tea.

I like to sell food and booze to people for a profit. Its fun and honest.
