My first job

Meeting my boss is something like eating a really dry thanksgiveing turkey. Everything he says seems to be flavorless, and the sheer grate of his tone makes you want to get something to drink to help it go down.
I got a "plumb" job, the kind a lot of people want, you do nothing but press buttons on a keyboard and get paid $10 an hour, oddley I hate it. Confined to a chair, and programming channels into TV remotes...
There is just something about the idea of sitting at a desk all day that horrifies me. Fortunateley for me After work I have Brazilian Jui-Jitsu, and Muay Thai Kickboxing my hope is that will actually keep me sane, and preferabley not smelling like tax forms and cardboard! (yay!)

No, but I'm going to have to look for it now!
Been on the job a few days, im working with a lot of good people so its pretty nice, however the numbing effect of my chair is somewhat...unnerveing...
Should be a "OK" job. I'm still liveing with a parent, so I get to save up all the cash I can actually keep my hands on, and should have a decent amount in the next 8 months...hehehe.

So my Job...wow, awesome. My boss turned out to be both easy to respect and easy to work for! My Boss isn't bad at all, and I'm getting paid to read a book most of the time

My first job was working on my brothers farm. I would not trade that experience for anything. It taught me what working was like and so many values an lessons.
Good luck on your job man hope it goes well for you.
