What does everyone here do for work(Related to my other thread)[views:9656][posts:106]_____________________________________ [Feb 28,2008 1:32pm - ouchdrummer ""] I make a job out of my practice, that is I play a minimum of 4 hours a day of drums, much more than that on sat and sun. During the day i work for IKON Document Services downtown across from Boston City Hall. I am a photocopy salesman. I sell our services to law firms mostly. I wear a suit, and I hate it. I also manage the south boston sound museum. I am the janitor, security guard, handyman, and rent collector. Its awesome. |

Although working for IKON has one saving grace, we have a form that we have to get signed whenever materials change hands. Its called the Chain of Custody.... C.O.C. .... it makes for a ton of jokes that seemingly never get old. |

My market segment is a little different from the print-on-demand deal (I work for a commercial offset company), but printing sucks regardless of what capacity you are involved in. It's amazing how worked up people get over ink on paper. |

| ________________________________________ [Feb 28,2008 4:31pm - DestroyYouAlot ""] brad%20weymouth said:the one thing i miss is all the hot office babes This is a good point. However, my job before that had better girls. I used to fix treadmills. We had the account for the Boston College gym. Me, fixing a machine at the end of the row, while all down the row, multitudes of college girls jog. Bouncily. PROTIP: Changing a 240volt motor without looking at it is a bad idea. But these things happen. |

Basically i have a shit ton of responsibility and pressure but get no extra compensation for the work i do for them.

Yea we are all suffering right now, the winter always sux, and this is the worst economy since I became a lic. GC. I actually make my bread and butter with windows and doors. Pam does your husband work for himself or does he work for "the man"? Rev if you want, not that I would try and steal a bid, but let me know how many and an aprox. size. I get my windows directly from the manufacturer and I get them pretty much for what the depot and other outlets pay for them. |

So I water plants while listening to death metal and good hip hop without having to deal with anyone if I don't want to. My "career" is illustration; I'm finally starting to make enough money with it to call it a career, thank christ. I'm hoping that by this time next year, illustration, painting and rocking the fuck out will be my only sources of income. |

Right now I have been building greenhouses, but mostly paperwork, doing production volumes, CSA projections, Insect/mammal pest management plans, and nutrient management plans....pretty fun work, its hard but it pays off in free organic vegetables, and sanity |

So basically he gets all the bullshit involved with working for the man and none of the perks of working for himself. It kinda sucks but he's good at it, he likes the work and the pay is killer in the on-season. He has a lot of schedule flexibility and that's cool, but it's pretty bunk sometimes. He works on the side sometimes but not formally right now, his company seems to think he shouldn't do side work but yet has little to no work to offer him...they're money-grubbing cunts. |
