What type of work do you do and what do you have to deal wit

I'm a nanny during the week and work at a church nursery on the weekends.

I clean up a lot of pee... Somehow the boys manage to get it all over the floor at least once a week. I make lunches and then get yelled at by the kids for putting the "wrong" thing in there. (it's the same lunch every day, not sure how it's okay one day, wrong the next). Drive them all over the place and don't get compensation for gas.
Then, at my other job, I hold crying babies and change lots of diapers.

I work for a Division I FBS Football team at a University. I deal with student-athlete eligibility, classes, graduation rates, NCAA compliance etc. I LOOOOVEEE my job but sometimes things are out of my control and I have to remember my athletes are still only 18-23.

prison guard..............


use your imagination...........

I work in a prison too. Yep, use your imagination

LOL dude this is so perfect for today...

I assist students in computer labs and also am an assistant manager so I am the go to person when crap goes out the window.

You probably think, Oh... you just sit and surf the internet all day and do homework! Which is true... but when **** hits the fan it's not the case at all haha.

Today...
1. Someone calls in sick so I get thrown into a lab I really haven't been brushed up on yet as other obligations have gotten in the way.
2. All is well until the damn printer server goes down in our lab. Try troubleshooting to no avail. The guy who runs the printer server calls me up and gets down my throat about the issue. All because he's late to a meeting... Thankfully my boss deals with this so we can force him to fix the issue.
3. Have Mr. "OMG I NEED MY HAND HELD" expecting me to sit down with him and ignore everything else to be walked through Microsoft Word issues. It was fine and dandy at first until I realized he literally wants you to do the homework for him... and omg... repeating yourself... over and over and over and over. He even has the gall to ask if you don't mind hanging around after work for free to tutor him. HELL NO!
4. A random computer comes off the server... must log this... and deal with everyone letting me know it's down...
5. A scanner breaks down... have student reset computer.
6. Must babysit other lab assistance and make sure they are at their designated spot when scheduled.
7. Help with students who forget their cards... can't print without being told every step...

Haha it's nutty sometimes. I LOVE my job and love helping people but when I get dumped on with every single possible issue fathomable it is VERY crazy. :P

I'm a construction safety officer for oil/gas energy and mining operations all over North America. I also manage HSE operations on industrial construction sites for compliance with safety standards established by corporate, local and regional agencies to protect workers, equipment and the environment. I also conduct training sessions to educate workers and supervisors on safe workplace procedures and ways to protect themselves and their environment from harm. My job normally requires I regularly visit all types of locations where blasting, mining, equipment relocation etc etc is taking place.

The training and educational and instructional topics vary according to the nature of the work being performed at the job sites. Common topics include keeping accurate incident records, methods to prevent accidents and how to train employees to implement safe practices into their daily work routines. Other subjects for discussion typically include safe equipment operation, ergonomics, safe lifting procedures and choosing appropriate protective gear and clothing. And thats just the tip of the iceberg.

In addition to lecturing on safety and inspecting the general appearance of construction/mining sites for potential safety hazards, I normally examines tools, equipment and machinery at the sites. I'm required to document and report to head office and the authorities any infractions I discover and advise the person in charge of the site to correct the hazards. If the violation poses an immediate threat, I have the authority to issue A STOP WORK ORDER on multi-billion dollar projects. Checking safety equipment such as fire extinguishers and alarms for current certifications is also a typical part of my job.... That's just a small glimpse of wht i do daily, this doesn't even touch on fatality investigations, equipment loss investigations, ..... for me to list everything would take way too long... Long story short... I LOVE MY JOB

I'm an editor at a local newspaper, and I love getting calls and emails like this...

Resident: I just wanted to tell you how biased and liberal your opinion page is, and I think you should all be ashamed of yourselves for not offering fair and balanced coverage to your community.

Me: Well the opinion page is a space for opinion only, we're not reporting news coverage, so we can share our views and generate discussion...

Resident: I don't care. It's biased and I don't agree with it, so I'm canceling my subscription.

All. The. Time.

I design/create wedding cakes..BRIDE-ZILLAS!

Omg how do you handle it? What's the worst bride-zilla you've ever had?

The ones that want to question the price of everything..I really don't like that..they want beautiful hand made sugar flowers..hundreds of hand made flowers..they take hours to do..you want them..you have to pay for them..no discounts..I don't care how big a fit you can throw..I excuse myself and let my director/partner/good cop.. show them the door. Bye Bye

Omg. Yeah I can imagine. I get people who want their waist dropped, legs tapered, crotch shortened on pants that are triple stitched and then have a cow when I quote them the price...they don't understand the work one puts into making them look good.
I've had people literally stamp their feet, yell loudly at me in order to get the other customers riled up or pull the " I'm Captain so and so's friend/butt buddy etc".

IT Sales. And I don't deal with anything

I get paid to drink whiskey and kill rats...no that's not true...I'm the lead singer in a rock and roll band....nope not that either...Ok I'm an astronaut...nope.

I work in IT. I have worked in IT for almost 30 years now. I carved my first floppy disk out of wood. My job, and the jobs of about a billion IT workers worldwide, didn't even exist 40 years ago. My main job is to design and implement storage arrays, mostly for a company called EMC. It's a great job, never a dull moment, all my customers are brilliant.

I service 400 + students every week. I teach. songs, dance, words, behavior, how to walk in a straight line... lol!!!

I am the music director and work with students from Pre-K to 8th grade, so I get the "I want my mommy!!!!!" to "Whatevers..." to deal with...

I love my position where God has placed me, because honestly, I wasn't looking for a job. it basically landed in my lap and I love it! I sing, I dance, I choreograph, and I still get to teach!!!! Love it!!!

Oh, and I get hugs every morning from the Pre-schoolers!!!! and the jr. high likes me too... I think because I listen to them complain about the other teachers, but I try to help them see what their teachers could be thinking and I go ask the teachers what's going on ... I don't hide info from them (the students...).... hmmmmm maybe that's why the teachers don't tell me anything... lol!!!!!:laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

I report directly to the principals... yes, 's'. there are 3 of them on campus!

I work for our lovely County Counsel.

2, I get to deal with irrate ppl coming to wanting to sue the county

3. I get to deal with our CRAZY auditor who is so contradicting on the way she wants things done.

4. I get to deal with our IT who always OVER charges us for everything and I gotta complain and fix it.

5. I get to deal with an OVERLY quiet office that drives me nuts!!

I'm the head cake decorator in a supermarket bakery. Really the most annoying thing I have to deal with is some of my customers assume they can get "Cake Boss" level product for supermarket price. Erm, No. Its not that I don't possess the skills, I just don't possess the time necessary for cakes of that nature.

caller "i'd like to get my pee tested"

me "i'm sorry sir, we're a land surveying company"


happens at least 4 times a week

I'm a nurse who works in an aged care facility. I won't go into too much detail of what I have to deal with ;-) But lets just say that 'I've had a ****ty day" had taken on a whole new meaning!!!!!

Type of work: Insurance
I verify insurance coverage for patients coming in for outpatient services at a hospital.

I call United Healthcare... a lot! They are the worst for customer service. Their phones are answered by overseas / middle east employees. They are very nice, but they read from a script and don't really know the information they are giving out. They have long names that are difficult to understand so they always say.."my name is woeiflsnfa;jdfj, but you can call me_______" and they give me a more American name. I have spoken to Denzel and Fabio. They must get their names from People magazine or something.

They transfer me.... a lot. No one knows anything and they waste my time all day!! Soooo annoying!!!

Haha - I have spent hours and hours on the the phone with United Healthcare. I too have talked to a Sally and a Debbie! REALLY! Total waste of everyones time and now Aetna has also moved service to middle east......I really need a new job!
