My favorite job I've had is when I worked at Little Caesars. I worked there for 9 months, which is the longest I have worked at one place. It was my favorite because I was good at it, my boss appreciated me, and it was a very relaxed environment. It only ever really got busy during the dinner rush (about 5pm) and on superbowl night. (everyone eats pizza during the superbowl) Other than that, it was real slow there, so we would usually just relax and talk a lot of the time.
We also got pretty wild there too. One time, I was washing dishes when me and too others got in a water fight. My coworker, and friend, tried to take the sprayer away from me to spray me with it. We were fighting over it when suddenly, it broke! Somehow we had managed to break the pipe thing it was connected to. Water started spraying everywhere! We had no idea what to do, so we just stood there for a while. Then we came up with a plan. We decided to tell our supervisor that my coworker(the one who I had been fighting over the sprayer with) was just walking past when he slipped on some water and therefore tried to grab the sprayer to prevent from falling. It was a stupid story, but I guess he believed us, or at least pretended to, because we were off he hook. We were much more careful after that.
What is your favorite job you have ever had and do you have any crazy stories about that job?

hi sketch...i liked a job that i felt was relaxing. it was dog sitting. i was to let the dogs inside and outside as needed because they were too old to hold it until the owner came home from work. so in between the times that i opened the door, i could do whatever i wanted. i looked at national geographic and drew pictures from them to use as stationary. it was a good gig while it lasted.

That sounds like a real fun job. So whatever happened to that? Were you just doing it for a neighbor or someone you knew or were you doing it through some sort of business? I have always wanted a chill job like that.

Well I like thinking jobs, thus I like what I have right now. Kinda technical since it involves the nities of programs but it's fine and I like doing this.

That's good that you have a job you enjoy. That is always a good thing. Makes life more enjoyable. But what is it you do?

That's great! 
It's probably pretty relaxing working from home, eh?

That's so true. I never thought of the gas money when thinking of an at home job. That's really cool. I've always thought it would be great to work at home. I work full-time and I was in school, so I've never really had a lot of time to hang out with friends and family, so the flexibility would be totally great for me. But I've never known really what I could do to work at home, so I kinda just let that dream go.

I would never thought I'd be doing what I am today,, I an a hospice care nurse. I absolutely love it. I have the opportunity to work 1 on 1 with my patients ang all my attention is focused on them, I also feel I am a good support for the families who are dealing with terminal patients/loved ones. I am not at the point where I can handle pediatric patients due to experiences of my own. It's hard enough working with adults. Pediatrics would throw me back into a depression.

Took me many many years to find my nitch. I will do home health visits or hospice only. I don't care to do hospitals or long term care. with home health or hospice, you can give the patient your undivided attention. It is certainly something they all deserve.

Well I had a good job in the summer of 2007, where I worked at a law office as the secretary on front desk, I was only 17 so it was a pretty good job for me to snag and it was a very relaxed environment also, but it's not my favorite job because I felt like I just worked too many hours and had no time for myself and the commute was three hours altogether every day. I started working at Walmart last Monday and I only got it to work towards making money to go to Sweden this December for a month, I already bought the ticket, but I want money to spend. The job is not hard, but I don't necessarily like it or want to do this for the rest of my life, but it is my favorite job because it is helping me make my month vacation in Sweden possible. I will probably quit before I go to Sweden because I know for sure that they would fire me for wanting a month off during peak season (Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Years), but I don't have an attachment to this job and I don't think I will get one anytime soon, I hate Walmart as a company for reasons connected to the economy of the United States, but I won't get into that haha. Happy mylottting!

Working at a law firm is a pretty darn good job for being only 17, but it's true that jobs like that take up a great deal of time, especially since it was so far away. I have never had a job that far away before and I don't plan on it ever. That's cool that you are going to Sweden. You should feel very proud that you have the self discipline to save up your money like that. I am 18 and I don't have any friends who can save their money up like that. I hope you have a blast on your trip! And I agree on the Walmart thing.
