First day in a new job

I start tomorrow in a printing house where I am supposed to operate heavy machinery. I don't feel very enthusiastic about it tho. Im trying it out because my art shit isnt working out financially. Im supposed to learn the machine from another operator, then pull eight hour shifts. I dont think I'll last very long but at least I'm willing to give it a try.

ive done something similar, but for 12 hour shifts at 3 days a week. they paid out the missing 4 hours so you got a 40 hour check. it was boring, but with the right people it can be alright.

Yeah, sounds like you have a serious attitude problem. Don't worry, the workplace is completely saturated with people like us so its not like you'll stand out or anything
That sounds awesome to me. Heavy machinery is the shit, at least when the people running the show take good care of it. I'd hate to work with heavy machinery that was in the kinda shape my work equipment is.

The boss was great but she said this line of work isn't for everyone, plus I heard a lot of people go through that place quickly. I guess I have an attitude thing because I dont really need it that bad. Boss said just check it out, if it works it works.

Yeah, that is the problem with factory jobs. The all use hiring agencies now. I'd love to work at a factory but I ain't going through those scab agents or degrading myself by submitting to drug tests

i hate temp services. i actually just got hired on and the service i was using is pissed. they told my temp service that it was only temporary and not temp to hire. the company im with now decides to say fuck that and hire me. they didnt even call me, i had to call them. besides that, they had a damn attitude then entire time.

Im having moderate success with a writing job that I really love and I dont know if I should... well I feel I should concentrate on the writing. Its just that in writing you dont have a regular paycheck and its all a freelance clusterfuck.
