emokid9963 Posted April 11, 2014 Share Posted April 11, 2014 It is weird. I get paid decent for a recent college grad, and they are already saying they are going to put me on salary with a pay increase after my 90 days. I always ask if there are things that need to be done, but they always say im doing what Im supposed to be doing. It is weird just sitting here going through emails, listening to Pandora and talking to you guys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

futures Posted April 11, 2014 Share Posted April 11, 2014 QUESTION: The bf booked the hotel for Boston next month and I logged into our account for the credit card we used and the deposit isn't showing up on the account's activity... any idea why this might be? The confirmation email we got said it was charged on 3/30. Nevermind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emokid9963 Posted April 11, 2014 Share Posted April 11, 2014 don't look a gift horse in the mouth! what do you do/what is your degree in? I got my degree in IT, and I work for a radiology company doing IT with 2 other awesome guys. Fridays are always super slow becasue DRs barely work and there are never things breaking. Monday is a shitstorm though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The confirmation email we got said it was charged on 3/30. Call and ask maybe? They should be able to say if you are good, I usually book hotels that let you pay there, so never had this problem.

-tess. Posted April 11, 2014 Share Posted April 11, 2014 i've been wondering; how do you like being a flight attendant/what is your job like? it's always a job that i thought i would enjoy, but i don't think i could do because i work so much better with a set schedule. It's tough. Im not going to sugar coat it. I have to be a waitress / bartender / first responder / babysitter / firefighter / bodyguard for the pilots... Etc. but people just look at you and say "I just threw up" or "here is my massive bag for you to put in the bin". But I love it. Really I do. This job is perfect for me. I laugh at the puke and take things as they come. The schedule is crazy for the first couple of years. I literally have no idea when and where I'll be going. But that is pretty exhilarating! Perfect when you're young. After a few years I'll be a line holder and I will be able to pick my own schedule and fly where I want to. Not to mention, my airline is notorious for putting you in another position if you get burned out on flying, which is a huge blessing. It's not for everyone, but it's fabulous. It's like being part of a club that wanders the world freely. My co workers are some of the most interesting and cultured people I've met.

They say stuff like "...this has been happening for months now." I always look at them and say... "why didnt you put a ticket in?" Our ticket system is barely used... it kills me.

hippielauryn Posted April 11, 2014 Share Posted April 11, 2014 when my sister/bro-in-law had their kitchen tile replaced, my mom went over to their house to sit and watch (it was the summer and she works in a school, so she had off). i'm sure it wasn't awkward for her, because she probably just talked about her cats the whole time. only awkward for the dude tiling the floor, ahaha. haha. Sounds like something my mom would do. She is a talker. Another guy showed up so I don't feel so bad. Just sitting in the garage with the door open so I can keep an eye on them, but still stay out of their way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you can have a positive attitude about any job and make it fun. Being bummed out all the time isn't worth it. If you still hate it? Find another one.

lonesomexloveus Posted April 11, 2014 Share Posted April 11, 2014 one of the attorneys here is talking to his girlfriend on the phone (he's in his 60s and she's in her 40s), who is apparently trying to get somewhere with the gps and still can't find wherever she's supposed to be. so he calls the restaurant?store?business? and asks for directions. then she calls back. then he tells her what they said. he hangs up. then she calls back again. 'i'm looking at the map right now. it kind of sits back off the road. did you pass *insert store name here* yet?' this goes on for 10 more minutes until she finally reaches her destination. it was like the blind leading the blind.

futures Posted April 11, 2014 Share Posted April 11, 2014 Nice. That place is supposed to be sweet. Plus it is right on the Red Line so you can easily get into Cambridge! Cool! Yeah my boyfriend has always wanted to stay there. I hadn't even heard of it but he's an architect so it's been on his bucket list for a while. I need to brush up on my Boston, haha. I haven't been there since I was way young and I was only there for a hot second to shoot a commercial. What is there to do in Cambridge? The only thing I know I want to do is go to Wagamama and Newbury Comics - just to see what it's all about. We're going to the HOB to see Foster The People which I understand isn't too far from the hotel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
