"Work sucks"

Who could have thought a tiny 4 hour shift could make me think so much about stuff.

I went to 'training' at Pizza Hut last night. It was busy as schools were off so we got thrown off our tables and into the staffroom... its very small, like the size of my bathroom. Then they threw us into the kitchen and we had to work with very little clue what to do.

I cleaned the floor
I cleaned the oven
I emptyed the bins
I stacked the freezer
I made about 500 plates of dough for the next day, including lifting pans and seperators all over the place
I washed the dishes
I blew up bloody ballons

It was the slowest four hours of my life and to make things worse I had the worst headache I've had for about a year threw the whole things.

And I don't even get the minimum wages... £3.70 an hour. What annoys me... my new work friend person is over 18 and gets £4.20 and does the exact same jobs as me.

Erm its not all bad, my 'team' are quite cool and the managers seem nice enough.

So when I got home last night I was nackered but studied for my History exam this afternoon for an hour or two. I went to bed but couldn't get to sleep, awake the whole night and all I could smell and taste was pizza *shivers*. The way I look at it is, I've been lazy this year and not done/needed to do much at school and already guaranteed place at Uni next year. So as well as the money I get, I think it's good life experience. Work in a really crap job to remember how good my life can be and that this is where you could end up if you suck at school/uni etc

I'm sorry for my need to tell everybody stuff that I think and what I do the day before, but meh.

My day consists of climbing two flights of stairs to get to my desk (dispise lifts, and the exercise is good) then spending 2 and a half hours walking back and forth from the printer, which in all their wisdom, is about three rows of desks down from my PC, and everyone else's who uses that printer. Occasionally I make a phone call and have to speak to moronic Welsh people. Then I get a five minute break at 19:10, then it's back to the routine till half 9. Still, for £5.60 an hour, I don't really care.

I think I'll not mind it once I get into it... only done about 5 hours in kitchen.

You front or back?

Erm a lot more is demanded in like Pizza Hut than like McDonalds

My mate stands at a grill all day... least you get to move about and do lots of different things.

I get confused

Funny, the under 18s I work with get paid more and work less (pay less tax, therefore they earn more)

I was surprised how easy/good working life is. I'm lucky, I get on with everyone in my team, and our manager is really canny. Some of the other managers are right evil muppets to people in their groups. I actually work well, but if I didn't, and I was in another group, I probably would've walked away by now. They're not too friendly to anyone who hasn't picked up every minute detail (there's a thousand things to know, and they keep changing every single day)

I am

I sold out for £3.70 an hour

I'll bring it down from the inside

It is impossible to find part-time work for the sort of school/uni people in my town.

Really... this is the first and I've been looking for year.

I hate it... but this can be good.

I've worked it otu

Work Sucks when you're a prostitute.

I will never understand why anyone would choose to work in any kind of food serving establishment. Ever.

I'd rather do the laundry for the incontinent ward of an old peoples home.

Ah I've worked 3 days and hate it

Hurrah

I need a job.
