The Studs Terkel "Working" Post

[Sugar Smack]

In which we say what we do all day and how we feel about it.

If you're comfortable sharing (non-specifically) what you do for a living, please join me in this thread. It's also a bountiful opportunity to boast/bitch about your job.

I work in a clothing store that caters to women. I straighten my area all day and bring clothes from the fitting rooms (if it's not underwear) back to its original place. I stand and walk all day long, so my legs are like rocks, and my bullshit conversation needs improvement. I seriously couldn't care less about fashion. But I need to employ the word "cute" once or twice a day and sound like I mean it.

I made fast friends with a few of my co-workers. They have a sort of gallows sense of humor without making it sound "hard luck". Corporate shit bothers us. I work in a "petites" and "women's sizes" department. I have respect for anyone who walks in. They just want to feel beautiful. And some of them are outright shits.

How about you, bijoux?
