With all the great question threads about our lives, I was wondering what do all the Hype members do to pay for rent, food, families, etc.? It might be interesting to see if some of us work in the same fields or learn a thing or two about another field.

I personally work for a marketing company and also I serve/bartend/cook at a Shisha Cafe.

How about you?
 
I'm an Independent Pharmaceuticals Distributor.
 
Wildcat, my neighbor does that. He loves it. Also I might add he has a lot of money to spend on online gambling and great bottles. Hopefully you are doing as well.
 
cart pusher at walmart. cant really complain about 415 ever 2 weeks with no bills to pay.
 
dam aesop, that bank account should look real nice.
 
why? what do you spend about 800 a month on if you have no bills? i was a cart pusher before at albertsons and home depot but i got "promotions" to cashier.

That's the thing about jobs though isn't it, you could get 'promoted' to another position that paid a little more, but it could be a lot less fun than your previous one.
Like, if I worked in a supermarket i would much rather be a cart pusher, good excercise, you get to go outside... instead of standing/sitting at a till all day pushing buttons and putting food through a scanner, that would do my box in.

edit: I mean, when you are talking about that kind of job, it's not really a 'promotion' is it? I can imagine them talking in the office:
- 'Blah blah and thingmyjig both quit the tills this week.'
- 'Yeah, it's the most boring job in the place, no wonder. What we gonna do?'
- 'Let's tell Tex and Bingo we're promoting them, and move them onto that detail. Make it look like it's a v responsible job that only the most intelligent of us can do, count a bit of change, something all of us do every day. But don't place the emphasis on the fact it's just a lot of button pushing all day in the same spot, and emphasise that we will be giving him a little extra change every day too.'
- 'Ok, boss. Btw, I need a new mop, thanks for promoting me to toilet washer.'
- 'That's ok Jacob, it takes a lot of responsibility to make sure that place is clean for our customers, or else they won't come back. Make sure that crap is scrubbed off the inside, we're depending on you.'

If you end up in position of being under attack all the time, being able to come up with rebuttals and comebacks is a great skill to have. These types of people do not argue when they are left alone.

What you really need to look out for, and avoid working with, are people who are liars, who will desperately try to spin anything against you, no matter how outrageous the lies are, it shows signs of desperation and weakness, and you don't know when those types will turn against you, if you have a falling out.
 
The beef seems 'real' to me :highfive:

I have to say, people always use that smiley when they are giving someone else a high five, when they agree with them on something in conversation. What it looks like here is that you are giving yourself a high five from an imaginary friend over a comeback line that is as amusing and imaginative as your 'username'. So, i guess that is good you have an imaginary friend who thinks you are funny, that must be fun.
In other words, blank-y, you are shooting blanks, you chose your username well, lol.

Thanks for the reminder but I do like this smiley though, we're all legends in our own mind
 
I don't have a job yet. I'll probably get one over the summer or maybe after my birthday, until I have a career.

When I was little, I wanted to be a ballerina assassin :up:

If this is true, i am glad you can use your skills at a known company. for me i enjoy knowing a Hyper is working for a big guy with money.
