Blog #8: Future Jobs? (change in blogging style)

[drewdafis]

anyways is not a word

[landongendur]

Clearly.

[FlowingGeisha]

I can see everything, the retail managers who wanted every single towel in the storage area perfect, the whole displayed redone, the damn girl hates them, no one cares that the staff from head office are inspecting cause it's not. I should be the damn employers.

[FlowingGeisha]

Got into a big non cursing disagreement and the damn cops came by to waste time. Does a lawyer need to tag along and deal with me? Bull shitters. A loud controlling bitch who ran her staff like some sports team. A flower arrangement worker where I can't get the damn flower bunches absolutely perfect, cold and stained with food colouring, Newspaper job where every fucking staff member including their kids were bitchy, horrible etc. the old manly woman employer who signaled me to turn around when

[landongendur]

Wow, sounds like you've had your share of crummy jobs too.

[FlowingGeisha]

You very similar to guy on here under trainofthought. MacDonalds was flipping greasy, I did all the damn work while the clique talked and got paid, then looked busy when the employer came around.

[landongendur]

Oh, the joys of minimum wage work ;)

[lovinhim4life]

lol...you're so cute!

[landongendur]

Why thank you :)

[walshyx69x]

I worked once at Mc Donalds.. and NO WAY ; DO NOT EVER work for them. They are bad!! The pay and well everything was bad#

and it was my birthday two days after this video. 15march =D

[landongendur]

Nice! Happy birthday :)

Working at McDonalds wouldn't really interest me, but the are hiring full time people starting at $9.50 an hour in my city :O

[walshyx69x]

anyways lol =D make me smilleee ...

I need to find a job too.. i have afew months break in between my schooling.. arghh

[landongendur]

What do you have in mind?

[Coolpix7900]

Best job was in NC at a restaurant. My girls were cool with gays and we would go clubbing after work on the weekends. We changed places driving so those in the back could change and clean up with those packet type hand wipes. It didn't even seem like work! Flirting with customers was fun too!

[landongendur]

Nice! What made you leave working there if it was so great? The water-park I worked at closed down (and just recently burned down).

[Coolpix7900]

My bf at the time thought I had too much fun without him. :-(. He spied on me at work and started arguments over my "cheating" that never happened. If I would have known I would've been accused every day I probably should have. I packed a moving van in 3 hours and fled! I miss my girls more than him! :-P

[Coolpix7900]

My worst job ever was working the summer for Michelin at a tire factory. They paid 24.00 hr but the hours were hellish (mixed 1st and 3rd 12hour shifts) and I was so sore every freaking day! Very repetitive and boring, no human contact! Near the end I was on prozac because I was envisioning burning the place down!

[landongendur]

Yikes! Did they just have you cooped up in some scary assembly line? What did the job entail specifically?

[Coolpix7900]

I did two jobs, one to push big rolls of rubber up to a machine and hook them in. The other was actually building the tires on somewhat of an assembly. You basically stand in one spot and the machine moves you from one machine to the next to do the next process and use your hands and fingers to kind of bond the types of rubber...hard to explain but I never saw any people for hours at a time. My hands hurt and flicker thinking of it. lol. Total Carpal Tunnel!

[smlineberger]

HEY! My name is Tyler....and i just found your blogs! I LOVE THEM! :) they are amazing so i am subscribing! :) you seem like fun! I am 18 and live in Florida...real close to Orlando...I will be interning at disney for over 7.5 months starting in may :).....so to answer your question...have you ever thought about getting a job at disney? the property has busses that could take you to and from your job.....i do not have enough room to say everything that i want to! LOL but yea....Disney!

[landongendur]

Hey Tyler. definitely staying tuned to your channel. You have a pretty intriguing first blog, keep up the great videos :)

A few months ago, I was looking at real estate in Pine Ridge Florida as the housing there has gotten real cheap. Brand new 3 bedroom houses are going for like $155K! Up here in Western Canada's housing has gone nuts (are we in for a boom/bust like the USA did?). A similar house here goes for about twice that (even with freezing weather 1/2 the year).

Thanks for subscribing!

[smlineberger]

WOW.....Canada? EEK that just scares me! with all of your cold ness up there idk if i could handle it! lol it is like 90 degrees here...soo i am hot! lol and as for the winter months....it gets to about 40 degrees....which is sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooooo cold! but pine ridge? there is a pine ridge realllllllll close to where i live...idk if it is the same pine ridge...but i chuckled ... :)

[landongendur]

Really, you didn't notice my Canadian accent?

Lol! I'd kill for 40*F right now. It's almost April and it's only 25*F here in Winnipeg today. We still have quite a bit of snow not melted yet.

The months of June, July and August tend to be very nice and warm where I'm from, but I'd totally move to the USA if the housing market keeps being inexpensive (although I've read that Florida's home insurance and property taxes are discriminatory towards newcomers).

[smlineberger]

ummm yea! they are! :( but gosh....25 degrees! EEK that is really cold! lol! and no i didn't hear a canadian accent! that is super cool that you live up there! so what are you getting your degree in?

[friesian86]

Landon,

I loved this blog! You remind me so much of Jim Carrey for some reason. I couldn't stop smiling through the hole video! Being yourself shined through bright as day. Which is the way it should be! :Jesse ^_^

[landongendur]

Awesome response. Its so much easier to make a video-log when I'm not concerned about how I look or sound on camera. Just worrying about those things cause me to come across as fake and automated.

So... have you had any awesome job paths lately? I'm thinking of checking into the tourism industry.

[friesian86]

Check out my latest video- *A defining moment

Hmm... Well I've been working for a concrete company the past three years, and I also train horses as part of my living. So there you go. :J ^_^

[cleetisbob]

Great great Fantastic blog much better.

What are your interests Hobbies get a job similar too that you'll love it example you like animals get a job at pet store, you like electronics work at future shop etc.etc.....a

Love the outdoor water park that would be a cool job, an females are the best boss's

[landongendur]

Thanks for the positive reaction of the new blogging style :) I was so concerned about making my blogs like blackhamster39's (who is excellent at making one long capture blogs) that I was turning out fake and programmed on camera. Definitely going to continue this style.

The sad thing is that I don't have much interests or hobbies (other than YouTube I guess). All I know is that I love working in a social setting and helping people. I'll do some further thought. Thanks for your advice :)

[ofthemonster]

29 days! OH JEEZ!

Balloon Pilot from hell!

Your Crazy in this blog

I couldnt hear your pant noise

You should Try working at a grocery store.. It pretty much sucks... But some people love it.

[landongendur]

I thought I'd experiment with a new style of blogging since my older ones boring to watch. I think it's a lot more dynamic and crazy, for sure ;)

The pant noise was me slapping my hands on my thighs throughout the blog :P

Are you still working at the grocery store? Maybe I'll give it a try as long as I'm not a cashier (My first job was at SuperStore as a cashier and that lasted about 4 days. I was short all the time and I wasn't even out of training!).

What are your job duties at the Co-op?

[ofthemonster]

I still work at co-op.. i've been their for 3 years.. i cant wait to leave... I do everything, Im like... Everything.... I do a lot of heavy lifting.. so if you don't wanna do that.. than i would avoid grocery stores... Im gonna try working in a coffee shop when i move to regina in july.. im excited

[landongendur]

You just reminded me: blackhamster39 worked for a coffee shop (I think StarBucks) last summer and it seems as if he liked it a lot. He talks about it in Blog 30.

It will be fun when you come to Regina to stay as I'll need to be there too for my final class over the summer. We can Par-tay! :D

[ofthemonster]

I am madly in love with blackhamster39.. i've watched all of his blogs but havnt ever talked ot him... cuz i dont know how to be like.... Hi, Im devon... i've been watching you..... i like you..... without being creepy

[landongendur]

I've always envied his happy-go-lucky and positive personality (I've been friends with him since grade 6, when he lived in Regina). Maybe just leave a comment on his channel stating that you think he lightens your day every time you see his blogs. 'Cause it's true, you know!
