Party Vibe

I’ve never done it but have heard it one of the most soul destroying jobs. SO reppetative all day long.

Is it nights or day? Haven’t done assembly line but I’ve done night shifts packing lorries and stuff, and it’s the hours that really fuck with your head. The amount of people who suffer from depression is much higher amongst night shift workers.

i’ve done them briefly. they are pretty wank but it feels pretty epic when you finish work. i’d say go for it man you’d be able to hack a month and least you’ll get a paycheck at the end.

yeah but i mean you could hack a month if it was super soul draining. if you can do 6 months then fair do’s. who knows you might actually like this kind of work as it’s a change from no work.

this is indeed what I to have herd. But thinking if I could hack it for 6 months or something it might help my CV look better with regards to the 4 year gap in employment. Plus I need money. Its hard to know what to do for the best.

The other option is split shift kitchen work but the hours would mean I would never be able to see my misses and not sure that is therefore an option really. Chef would be a good goal but your stuck with horrible hours.

I’ve done split shift kitchen work, I’ve even run a kitchen before … unless you’re working as a chef in a propper reserante rather then chef in a harvister or pot wash etc. then it’s a pretty shit job too … very very stressfull and you have to be very good at dealing with high pressure situations either way.

WArehouse work I can imagin being boring as fuck but not so much a need to be able to deal with pressure and not such a fast paced inviroment…. alltho you’ll have to work a certain constant speed still I would imagin. Even cheffing can be really repetative depending on where you work and what the menu is like but the added pressure of very short deadlines or customer complaints being put in and worce case senario the customers walking out and loosing thier custom, also the food has to be good and the plates spotless etc. so I’d imagin cash for gold ratio you’d have alot less stess overall in a warehouse inviroment.

It might be worth while trying out both jobs to see what you prefer … there’s nothing saing once you have a job you have to stay there if you don’t like it. and you’ll normaly be given a week or a few at the begining of a job to make sure they like you/you like them etc. – just make sure if you do leave you leave on good terms.

Just remembered another factory job I had, working in a small factory making mixing desks. Was not a bad job actually, the work was pretty boring (spending days on end soldering circuit boards for mixing desks and screwing bits of metal together) but I could chat to the guys I worked with, could make a cup of tea whenever I wanted without a supervisor breathing down my neck, could get wrecked at the weekend and still be capable of doing my job on Monday, had no responsibilities, could walk to work – there are actually plenty of advantages of doing this type of work, it’s not all bad.

And I got shit-hot at soldering too, which is a skill I still use all the time to repair broken cables/equipment etc.
