Well, I work at Borders. Most of the people I work with are a damn snazzy lot. But our district manager is a wee bit of a *****. And some of the customers are more or less ******ed.

Customer-"I'm looking for a book."
Me-"OK. Do you know the author or title so I can see if we have it in stock?"
Customer-"No. But it's about (insert something stupid)"

i got that beat!

this lady calls us, this is more or less what happened.
Me: Knollwood security.
Lady: who is this?
Me: This is security how may i help you?
Lady: Well i was wondering if you could help me.
Me: what is it that you need help with?
Lady: Well you had that car give away in the mall and well now i am getting calls saying that i am in the top ten.
Me: And?
Lady: I was wondering if you could help me with that?
Me: help you with the calls?
Lady: well they keep calling and i was given this number to call.
Me: i work security here and have nothing to do with the car or the give away.
Lady: Well i was given your number and i want them to stop calling me.
Me: well i have no control over that and the people that would know anything about the car or the give away are the mall managment and seeign as its 8:15 at night there is no one here.
Lady: they keep calling me and i don't want them to.
Me: i don't have any control over that. you will need to talk with the mall about that i just work security.
Lady: well why didn't you say you weren't with the mall managment?

and thats when i gave her the number for the mall mang. because if i was to talk with that lady any more i would have gone off on her.

Sometimes I like it, but many times I feel I was meant to do something else.

If you have such a problem with your supervisor ask for a meeting and be very clear about your issues. If you want to be professional about it prepare an agenda for the meeting. Be ready to quit as well.

I ama fund manager and to be honest now that I am mostly vested the job is not always that exciting but no job is.

Well....Hmmm....I suppose being a male dancer wouldn't be out of the question...However, the money is good, but there's no benefits, and it's not something one can do indefinitely. It's like playing sports professionally. One has a finite period of time they can do it.

That said, actually I am in the middle of seriously considering a career change. I am looking at options, and while it would mean going back to school, I am seriously considering doing just that.

This is a good thread. It's actually making me introspective, and reflective and contemplative on various things.

I love my job. Particularly as it just entails dragging myself out of bed at 10 o'clock once every two weeks to sign on.
