Thread dedicated to talk about our work and workplace! I'm currently working in a pet store, so I always have stories to tell - from awesome looking pooches to boring pet product related talk, to crazy clientele from the two stores I work in (one is near a very rich area, the other is almost ghetto). There's a possibility that I will be working as a chef as well, despite having no prior cooking experience. The boss of this place seems to be fine with me just graduating art for this position. How was your day at work?

Ah, yes, as we get older the school threads give way to work threads (though the RTT was partly a work thread for a while...), heh.
As I mentioned over there, I'm working at a grocery store right now. It's pretty chill... literally! It's super cold all the time because of all the open-front refrigerators! It's nice and cozy back in the break room, but if you walk back from there straight to the registers, you pass through the dairy and it totally saps all of your body heat on the way. Crazy! Luckily, they just opened a Uniqlo over here and I picked up some rad thermal shirts and a hoodie for work.
Earlier today, my coworkers covered up all the diagrams on the card-readers showing which way to swipe your card... because they all point the wrong way. I'm pretty glad they did that- some customers get really upset ("But the picture shows it that way!") when you try to correct them, so now they won't have that silly misleading picture in the way. It's not quite a solution, but it's a step.

Work is pretty alright! On the surface, it's a pretty odd job for me--I'm in television analytics, and I don't watch television (at all, not even Netflix). Aaaaand I'm posted in the company's sports division at that... definitely do not watch sports, at all. But it works out because you really don't need to care about whatever you're analyzing in data analytics--all that matters is whether you can interpret the data.
(Although, I was thinking about it today, and I don't think it would be even accurate to say I do much with sports or television in general in my position, really... somehow the bulk of my work has been spent drafting business proposals for CPG companies regarding sports sponsorships instead? I'm not sure how it happened, but it did.)
But yeah, whatever the hell I'm doing, I'm kept busy and stimulated. I like my job; really laid-back culture, but interesting and challenging work.
