I lost my job in December.
I have been finding it really hard to find work, partly through my own faults, like not looking hard enough. But also because of my age. Also I have had a run of really bad luck that lasted for about 4 months.
I have been job hunting today as I am so desperate for a job. I finish my exams at the end of june and my parents can't keep paying for everything for me...
So i have done some thing i feel really bad about and i'd like other peoples views...
I applied for a job at McDonalds...
I feel like scum!
THWACK!!!!

As a 16yo, its good to get some expirience in crap jobs so you appreciate things more, imo. I didn't do fast food- it woulda made me throw up. But I worked in a grocery store, a diner, and then bussed tables in a dive bar. Someone would take the job if you didn't.... you can only affect those places by not buying things *from* them. Don't get started working so many jobs so soon tho! I worked two jobs on and off from when I was young, and now I can't do it anymore and I'm only 20ish!! ^_^

It took a while, but once their numbers dropped from 50 down to 8, the other dwarves started to suspect Hungry.

What's wrong with working at McDonalds? They're no worse than any other big company. They're just one of the biggest.
Damn the addictiveness of forums! (Or should it be addictivity?)

Nowt wrong with wanting to pay your own way in the world.
Figure it this way; if every astrophysicist in the world dropped dead tomorrow, who cares. If every services provider like yourself did so, we'd seriously be in the brown stuff.
You're propping up the very fabric of society.
Um, mixed metaphor. (goes back to sleep)
There is a slight possibility that I am not actually right all of the time.

Not true! They refused to serve me on my skates!! They said I had too many wheels. then they wouldn't let me in wearing skates, ....then wouldn't allow me in wearing no shoes..!!!!!
I don't have a prob with Mc D but that confused me

dont worry snoopoi its money - it will set you up for other jobs and if nothing else it will give you the ultimatle drinks buyer in the "i have the worst job" stakes at the bar 
Eera if all the astrophysicists dropped dead the satillittes would quickly follow
as would the tabloid newspapers who would have no science to misunderstand and so no scare stories to create and i think we can survive (well i hope) with out MacyD's ;) again for snoopoi just think of the (meagre) money (gods i hate that phrase) back

the money is actually quite good. you also get free food whilst working, staff discounts, and with your staff card you get discounts on all sorts of things like hotels and holidays.
thanx linden THWACK!!!!
