i was about to comment about the general badass-ness of your job (being able to drink all you want :dance:) until i saw the very next part about no alcohol. >_<

i also work part-time as a bartender lol, so i guess i kinda feel your pain. my main job right now is looking for a "real" job...and by that i mean i'm graduating in May and it's time for me to enter the real world. :D

why is it that everyone that works at a coffee shop SEEMS really happy and high on life, but in reality they hate their job? i'm semi-concerned that someone in a starbucks is gonna go postal one day and start dumping mocha whipped frapaspressomochapart-skim-part-whole milk-achinos all over everyone...:|

yeah, i used to have one of those "the customer is always right" jobs...and then i realized that that's a load of deer piss.

however, i am about 99% sure that my full-time job will entail a certain amount of groveling, ass-kissing, and/or other generally degrading activities...sigh. i guess i can never escape it. guess i better start stocking up on chapstick now...:rolleyes:

I am not an ass kisser to be honest, which is why I have yet to be promoted after almost 2 years of working there...and all these other new butt wipes are becoming managers and shit.....I guess you can say I am a rebel that no one wants to get rid of

All the people who hate their jobs in American coffeeshops, should come and work in Dutch coffeeshops. The customers are always 'very relaxed' over here. :P

I work as a film production assistant, mostly running around while planning and calling. :) Very stressful, but I love it! :D

We only have one Starbucks in Holland, and that one is at Schiphol Airport Amsterdam. You can only drink a Starbucks coffee over there when you've passed customs (and thus have a ticket), etc. :P

You should set up something that's international, like PayPall! :) And make a BIG donation-button to go with it.

oh, student loans, how i love thee....

but be wary of the credit card...those things can be like girls who will NOT leave after you break up with them and demand payback in return...just when you think everything is smooth, she turns out to be a psychotic, emotional unstable, interest-sucking biatch. fortunately, i don't speak from direct experience :)

You poor thing. I would donate, but as of now I'm an unemployed hobo. Sorry. =(
We should have a nice, shiny red button on top of the page saying 'Help feed Kitmitsu!' It should make people feel bad, thus making them donate. =)

My plans are brilliant, aren't they. :chocobo:

Yep, 100% Dutch. :)
So yes, I sure do speak Dutch.... a lot! :P But I also speak English, German and French. :) And the film production assistant thing is just a side job. I hope to graduate before this summer so I can pursue my dream of becoming a producer. ^_^

I'm currently unemployed.

I used to babysit alot, though, not so much anymore. o_o

Being a student and internet addict takes up all my free time.
(Plus my after school naps...)

^ I am so with you hun, haha. <33333 taking naps too ^^

When I was in college I worked for the rec center as the sports coordinator dealing with floor/ice hockey. That was the easiest job managing teams and games, and scheduling rink times lol. My boss even told me to BS my time cards so I get paid more cause he said, "Schooling is so expensive now, you should milk this bitch for all it's worth!" My jaw literally dropped to the floor when he told me that so I was putting down 15-20 hours a week when I only did about 7-10 hours ish haha. He even gave me a parking pass for my car.... it would normally cost $3.50 a day so that was icing on top of the cake.

I was living at home then but paid for everything myself :D

My current boss interviewed my class in May last year and I got hired on without even having to look for a job lol. I finished school and was like, "Mom I got a job already, I need to go house hunting in Alberta." She's like w-w-w-t-f..... WTF?!? I'm like yea, I was interviewed not too long ago and I got it. (Originally from Vancouver, BC) So she was a little choked when she found out I had to move to another province lol.

That's my work history, moved out a 19 and been supporting myself ever since.... <3's it!

That's some pretty lucrative job you got there.
Discovering Holland isn't that hard - it's pretty small you know. And about your Dutch: just try me, and I'll tell you how good it is. :P
