Im a graveyard shift(9pm to 6am) cashier at a gas station right of a very big strip of shops and clubs. Everyone in my area stops there at least once. Since no one likes to work that shift, what with the threat of robberies and such, I have plenty of job security(yes there is a pun there). I make mad loot, there is a large dance club next store where everynight is ladies night and a strip club across the street. I do next to nothing in the way of actual work, get free stuff from the store and listen to whatever kind of music I like. I get benefits and since there is the above mentioned threat of robberies I get hazard pay for friday and saturday........I believe I have found the ultimate lazy mans job....
Oh and did I mention the boss let me set a tv with a PS2 in the back?

Wow, apart from the robbery thing, that sounds pretty good, especially if you get to play games :D

It's like Clerks all over again.

<font face="Verdana" size="3" color="#00FF00">My job is pretty cool too.

I basically sit and wait until something needs to be posted to the web, or someone notices an error on the web, or wait untill someone needs a small application built, or form tested, or scripted, or just needs to know how to do something with Scripts, Oracle, SQL, or has a question about one of the applications used like Access, or Dreamweaver ect. Sometimes it can be pretty busy but other times it can be really slow so I get paid to sit and wait, while waiting I am usually on Ironworks. So it is like getting paid to post on Ironworks :D , unfortunately I don't get to play games at work, that is a no,no
:( .

Wow, you guys have awesome jobs! i need to get one... :(

And I thought I had a cool job. I work in a small heat treatment factory and only in an afternoon shift (2pm -10 pm, with occasional overtime up to max. 1am). I work alone (boss leaves around 5pm), cutomers are scarce in the afternoon, and processes in vacuum furnaces last 4 - 8 hours. Furnaces are computer controlled, so I check them only from time to time, but when I do my paperwork I can just sit, wait, relax, watch TV, surf the net, even play games.
But ofcourse thera are also drawbacks, such as loading/unloading of furnaces when pieces are hot, and sometimes heavy. There are lifts and forklifters, but its much faster to grab a 30 kilo piece of steel and heave it to another loading basket, than to wince around it with a lift

sounds good, i dont have a job yet because of my age but when i do i hope its close to as good as that, but yeah the robbery thing would suck but other than that it seems fun.

i have a great job! i wake up, feed, change, and clothe children, then i space out to the net til about 10am. then i watch montel, put in a movie, clean, sit on the computer again, make lunch, convince 1 or 2 kids to nap, then space out til nathan gets home.

unfortunatley not all of that gets done.

I also work in a gasstation, but it's a service station, and I have to pump gas, change oil and whatnot. I'm also responsible with keeping the place clean so it's not as glorious as yours Pyrius [img]smile.gif[/img]

Save your hazard pay for a few weeks and buy a bullet proof vest. ;)

meh...i may be a boy but i know the one main rule to win a fight....aim low :D id like to see someone try to rob MY store while im around

I also work the late shift, and while it has major drawbacks, it also has it's advantages. I work on a computer at a printing company and a good portion of the night I'm either on IW or playing BG2. I just wish there was a strip club next to my building! Err, um, I'm sure they would have a lot of dollar bills if I needed change for the vending machine, that's why.

Mmmm...you play PS at the back of a store in a high-crime area?

What's the address, pray tell...I've been wanting a PS II for some time!

I think mines up there too..

I do shift work which gives me 33% loading on top of my already overpaid base salary. I sit at a computer for 12 hours along with 4 other operators, and fix things when they break... which isnt often. On night shift (8pm-8am) we watch movies (cough... not pirated... noo... cough), play extensively long games of monopoly, and cards (gotta love uno). Id say about a total of 3 hours work per 12 hour shift. Oh, and on average I only work 36 hours a week on a full time salary :D

And yet, I still find the time to constantly bitch about losing every second weekend to work :(

if I had a job it would be cool. but i dont so i will just have to make money thru other means (wink wink nudge nudge Hivetryant)

The robbery thing aint no big problem for me since most of my customers are regulars or know me from when I used to bounce at one of the clubs...If things get hairy though I do have one benefit: The store has a taser under the counter and the boss man lets me carry my health insurance, a .38.

...

I wonder if that's covered under Medicare...

Lets hope you don't have to apply too many suppositories with that thing.
