The people. 60% of the customers are idiots.

Having to the rely on the compliance and follow through of people other than myself.

I work as an enrollment liaison for a summer camp I'm also a counselor for. My job is basically to find around 200 kids from the LA area who qualify as being low-income (not hard to do) and set up and run presentation in which I can pitch to them the idea and opportunity of going to camp.
Now, whenever I have HAD a presentation, its gone astoundingly well and a majority of those present decide to sign up at the end. BUT, the hardest part of the whole process is just getting the chance in the first place.
School Principals are non-compliant douchebags, directors of Boys and Girls Clubs are self-centered and unmotivated twats, and city council members are bureaucratic sloths.
It's no wonder so many kids never get to experience camp, or get a chance to leave the slums for a while, or receive the attention and care that they all crave for and need to develop into a self-confidant individual.
Administrators are jacked.

Welcome back "Jumper"

Anyhow, that actually sounds like an interesting job aside from dealing with douchery but most jobs you do.
Know if they have any openings?

Well the camp is specific to UCLA, so I'm guessing it be easier if you lived around here haha. I actually will have to stop working for them in a few weeks as I'll be going 9-5 for Disney's Law Offices over the summer, so you've got time to make a move to sunny smoggy los angeles and take over my job.

The waking up, 3am shouldnt even be classified as morning. The actual work is so damn easy.

Typhoid · 05-25-2008, 04:07 PM

I actually like my new job.
I don't like the waking up, though.

Dyne · 05-25-2008, 04:19 PM

I'm fine with the waking up, but I hate getting there on time for some reason.

BreakABone · 05-26-2008, 08:17 AM

Seems like people and waking up are GT's main issues.

That actually sounds tempting.
But it is only for the summer I take it?

45% of my statistics are made up on the spot.

I enjoy exerting my relative authority over teachers after many years of the reverse. Nets my penis a good 2 extra " (that's 5.08 cm for you Canadian folk).

I don't enjoy my boss handing me something to work on and then hovering while I do it.

I dislike waking up so early and having to go to bed so early. Sleep is my number one enemy at work. My second least favorite part of work is dealing with some of the antique equipment they have where I work. A lot of the stuff just doesn't work the way it is supposed to.

BreakABone · 05-26-2008, 11:39 PM

Okay did everyone on these boards decide to get an early morning job?

I guess we can see where this goes.

But what time do you wake up/have to be at work?

Wake up: Roughly 4:50
At work: By 5:50 or so
