I like that everyone has different jobs otherwise we would just end up talking shop all the time.
I think its good to MYOB I have found the hardest thing to do really, is work in a team, I think the illusion of being in a team is more work gets done, but what tends to happen is, if there is a team leader who is not very motivating or pulling everyone together, things go wrong and theres in fighting, jostling for position, co-dependency etc. Sort of like families in microcosm, but dysfunctional ones.
if everyone had their roles and knew exactly what to do, things would work but often what happens is some people like to dump their work on others without compensating them for their extra time and energy they put in. Thats a real no no but I saw managers do it time and again, once they had a taste of power they didnt want anyone else to have it...like not treating people as equal.
If people approached work and training for excellence in work more like a teacher disciple relationship then it would go a long way to repairing that employer employee slave master dynamic that tends to happen
anyway...what do I know. I guess telling young people today that they got to prepare for cruelty in the workplace I suppose unless things change.

Uncle Sam gives me a pension for my first career which was the military, so now working on my second career which is a equities trader. However, thinking seriously about cutting back on the hours spent doing that. I have not used my educational benefits yet from my service time. So thinking seriously about going to school full time. Not for anything job or career related. One of the things I want to do when I retire is go on some archeological digs. So figured I will go to school for history and archelogy make some connections and learn about that world and what I can do to be able to chase a dream to go dig and be immersed in something i have always wanted to do.

thats interesting, I read a book about the history of some areas in my city and historians had dug up evidence of past occupations of land that was NOT recorded in history books because of colonialism.
For example, what is now a carpark used to be a former market garden run by chinese gardeners serving the cities population.
were there dinosaurs in nz? Sure were...bones and fossils have been found in many places. And of course the land was heavily forested before. Preserved swamp Kauri was found that dates back to thousands of years.
Fascinating. Though, I dont really want to be digging up dead bodies, though in earthworks what hapoens is land gets totally bullldozed and precious topsoil removed which then gets sold on to someone else. I dont think its right to do that personally.

The best I know of in fast food is Jack's. I don't know how far that fast food chain reaches though.
I know it's not mcdonald's, hardees or Burger king. They don't have the best anything, especially the best biscuits and gravy.
I don't think they will get you for advertising if you say where you are working, unless you are blatantly advertising with hyperlinks to the company's website and everything.
So where do you work?

do you have to get up really early to make breakfast though?
What time do you serve it, or is it one of those all day breakfasts. At mcDonalds, they would switch the menu to lunch at 10:30
Good if you a morning person I suppose! I dont really like getting up in the dark to go to work though. Its disconcerting.

i do get up really early...
i worker evenings/nights for 30+ yrs in nursing facilities. used to not be able to get up before 11am my whole life it seems. now the last 4-5 yrs, i am up every morning at 3am no matter what. so i spend and hour in prayer and such, go in at 4am and start making biscuits for breakfast, we serve that until 10:30am (11:00 on weekends)
it's odd

I write at night when everyone else is asleep, its better so Im not disturbed
I find it interesting to find out different occupations.
I never assume everyone has a 9-5 office job. But thats what a lot of ppl think a 'real' job is.
I have also fallen asleep at the desk when I had an office job...it was so boring!!

Are Biscuits the same as cookies
just wondering.
I am imagining what its like to work in the cookie time factory. Wouldnt you just get sick of cookies? I imagine the temptation to sample the wares would be too much.
Its like how in some libraries librarians are not allowed to read books on the job and get told off if they do.

Didn't know there was a thread like this - good thread.
I used to work grocery delivery job last year for about 3-4 months and thoroughly enjoyed it.
Wake up early, be at ready at the parking lot in the mall, get to watch beautiful sunrise while having fellowship with God. I love driving and got to go to lot of places I didn't know exist, got some good tips (and felt really appreciated), and lost 10 pounds! The best part was being able to spend as much time as I wanted to with God in the morning without having to worry about clocking in or be at the desk by 9. That was some good time I had and will always cherish/treasure it.
