Small Rant

I now have a job at a warehouse dealing with Plumbing parts. 40 hours a week at £6 an hour ($12).

Not bad for my first job

dai · 10-27-2008, 01:44 PM

congratulations
my first leagal job as a trainee accountant grossed me 3 quid a week

JohnthePilot · 10-27-2008, 02:44 PM

Showing your age there Dai.

Congratulations Liam. Stick that out for a bit then you can start looking for something more suitable. It's always more easy to get a job when you have a job.

DonaldG · 10-27-2008, 05:40 PM

Heartiest congratulations Liam. I am retired (so they tell me) but I still remember getting my first pay packet.

I wish you well and hope it is the beginning of a fruitful working life.

Plumbing store? Watch out for the tricks the 'old timers' will try -
They will ask you to go to the stores and ask for a long weight (wait) or get a left handed hammer.
Whatever Liam - Enjoy it and be satisfied that you have achieved the first steps. Well done matey!

Congratulations on your first real job. You will do well!

Congratulations there Liam.

Well done, my first job was in the plastics industry running blow moulding and injection moulding machines all for £2.75 an hour! I hope you enjoy your new role in life. Good luck.

Congrats Liam!

Ah, the joys of that first job...£1000 pa as a trainee Surveyor...

What's a Henway?

JohnthePilot · 10-29-2008, 11:31 PM

Doesn't it depend on whether or not it's free range.

HawMan · 10-31-2008, 11:15 AM

First week over - And its bloody tiring

Couldn't really ask for better workmates though. Such a great laugh and always there to help.

Now its time to enjoy the weekend.

JohnthePilot · 10-31-2008, 01:09 PM

You mean they let you have time off?

DonaldG · 11-01-2008, 07:52 AM

Yeah, they get time off for good behaviour these days!
