I only really want to know if any of us here with long hair have jobs. I do i work at a grocery store bagging.The only shitty thing is i gotta wear a ponytail.Anyone else like this?

__________________

if you have long hair, you should expect to wear a pony tail especially with jobs invovling food.

__________________

Yeah, I would never complain about wearing it in a ponytail. It doesn't do anything permanent to the hair.

__________________

At my job, Long Hair is unadvised but as long asyou can keep it clean and neat, there isn't a problem. Which is why I cut mine because I couldn't keep it neat.

I'm supposed to wear my hair in a ponytail but I stopped doing that because it would always comes undone.

Hopefully this metal shirt/bong store hires me...not only would they want a guy with long hair and tattoos($+3R30TYP3), I could wear my normal clothing.


Would you mention you're experienced in scales in the interview?

Cashier at a grocery store. My manager is starting to complain about my hair, saying it's blocking my sexy face. I told another manager that i'm quiting the day they tell me I need a hair cut. Hair shouldn't matter in the front end of a fucking grocery store.

I also work at a skate/clothes store in the mall. They don't give a shit about hair or facial hair and there's pretty much no dress code.

My hair feel like silk, still after an afternoon of intense training, so I guess I've lucked out in the genetics. As long as no one else starts being unreasonable about it, it's only childish to start provoking by letting it out when a pony tail is prefered. I wear a bandana most of the time, then again, my work place is fields and forest so what the heck. I keep it clean and neat outside of work - where it just so happens to be an umkempt, blond/white/brown oil laden shrubb, thank you very much - and a few nice girls have given me invaluable tips on how to give it a nice quality.
You know that wavy thing that some have? Sod the hair gel and give me a brush, a hair dryer and fifteen minutes.

i know a guy who's a video game tester.
he says its the worst job ever, though he is testing for activision, so he's testing out shitty poker games.

Not being a dullard is a no-no for being an accountant You appear not to be one of those so break the mould and grow that hair!!

I don't have long hair anymore which is just as well working with the mentally ill, pony tails can be grabbed during restraints and I've been told a lifted scalp hurts like being sodomised by a bowling ball(repeatedly)! Mind you some of the 'residents' have seen pics of me with long hair and the comments ranged from......'That's not you that's a beautiful woman' or 'What, you used to be a girl' and 'What's wrong with your hair?' also 'Is that how you wear your hair on a day off?' and the most alarming 'You looked hot then, I would have fucked you, but not now, with that shaved head you look like a right nutter!' (yes the patient WAS male) Oh how the winter evenings flew by at the old asylum on the hill....

Yeah and I hate you.

And oh yeah, I have sort of long hair and they make me wear a stupid looking baseball hat. I only wear it if they ask me to, which doesn't always happen.

I heard video game testing is supposed to be a horrible joke..considering all you do it find bugs in the games?

I work at a golf course, it's ok. I just mow around trees, bunkers and stuff all day most days with a regular mower or a weed whacker. Some days I'm just cuising around on a driving mowing machine though And I do lots of other things too, like racing in golf carts! Working outside around here can be a bitch though, lots of wind and rain and coldness. Only a few days have been real sunny and hot this summer, which sucks. I have short hair but a guy working with me has long hair and understandably no-one cares.

i wish i could be like a scrapherder, i wish the US was more fucked up, like almost post-apocalyptic. go out into wasted zones and find what there can be of use. hang out in junkyards and shit, carry a big knife

real work sucks, unless you are the boss.

my last job was the closest thing to a real job, i got outmanuevered by a crybaby co-worker on all shipping duties, i was isolated into all the stocking work. this was after an agreement with the bossman about us two sharing all duties equally.

i hate people too much to work in retail/customer service/a cash register at a food joint.

last restaurant job i had id watch people go ape shit in the lobby and fight, eventually under the stress of being both hated and under obligation to serve assholes, i cracked told some dude to fuck himself on the phone and nearly got my ass kicked in the lobby. i stood firm and told the fucker i wont be swayed by intimidation and the manger present can fire my ass then and there. quit the next day. i just been serving rotting chicken due to some dipshit overlooked the food rotation. the chicken that guy ate was a possible lawsuit anyway.

couple months later the joint closes down, a year later the owner is arrested in a gambling ring with ties to the mafia. fuck that guy. hes probably in fedral prison right now

i might have to join the other side, maybe get a cushy gig making the explosive devices other assholes use to kill completely random and unimportant people to further isolate any sympathy anyone would have for whatever given cause i pretended to support for a paying job above that of my local burger king.

world leaders arent doing enough to escalate the end of times, in mean shit, alot of them believe in that stuff anyway.

this effects my future employment as a scrapherder and a possible recipeint of cancer due to fallout, which at this point will be totally worth it.

I stock overnight at a grocery store. It pays quite well, plenty of overtime. I've been working 55 hours a week for the past month so I've had lots of extra pay.

wow. now thats what i call heartless.

@ afarewelltokings: i wouldnt get all offensive about a request to tie your hair back. as far as im concerned, if its a picky sort of place (not skate/metal shop) you are at least a little fortunate to have the job and hair together. just tie it back. i wear mine back 90% of the time. yeah, thats me, not you, but the point is it isnt bad, in fact its a lot more convenient and looks better to your everyday person, especially at work.

my school made me cut my hair

__________________

Agreed. You have to learn to choose your battles and know in the workforce you aren't irreplaceable. If you can wear it down fine, but if it's more acceptable to wear it back then do it. Take it back down after work. It's not that big of a deal.

there is no real reason for a short hair policy, unless you work in some kind of lab or with food.

just as long as your hair is clean and you look presentable. i can see dreads being a no-no, but even those can be well kept.


alot of the short hair-du policies are arbitrary

__________________

I met a guy last night who cut his hair only once in his life, but it was because he didn't tie it up and nearly went through a wood chipper and had to chop it off in a matter of seconds or else he'd been toast.

__________________

Well it all depends on your outlook when it comes to video games. Obviously, if you arent a video game fan, it would be the worst job ever. But since I spend 90% of my time testing the PS3, get paid $12/hour with tons of overtime at $18/hour, get medical benefits, and get to hang out with a bunch of like-minded gamers all day im gonna go ahead and put in a vote for best job EVAR.

i guess it helps if you test good games.
like i said, the guy i know who tests games tests for activision and he's doing a lame ass poker game.

__________________

dear valtiel, how do you get a job like that? i wanted to get a career as a character animator but this sounds like it'd be an entertaining thing to do for money in the meantime.

When my eldest was a baby I had a job watching tv for NBC for a little while. All I had to do was turn to a particular channel when they called to tell me and let them know how the reception was. Then they'd call after the first commercials went off midway through a half hour show, and ask if the commercials came in okay and if there were any pauses or static. Then they'd call at the end of the show and ask about quality again and opinion of the show itself. I got paid $5 a show. It wasn't a real frequent thing, but I thought it was kinda cool.

__________________

as cool as it sounds i dont know if i could play games all day. the pay sounds decent tho so id definately would take a job like that if offered


demolition is the funnest job for me. my favorite thing was ripping out plaster ceilings with the ferring strips. id get two hammers and just fuck.....shit.....up, pull down the whole ceiling on my head, deconstruction is cool too. ripping up tile floors im in heaven.

the shit makes you tough too, its like a hard workout everyday for 8-10 hours. take the bus home looking like you just killed a whole village and burned the place down, covered in burns<from grinders>and cut<falling debris>your hands all fucked up, dirt and woodchips all over your clothes. i love that shit

I want your job!

I love physical work, and that sounds awesome.

I teach guitar lessons at a local music shop and do a lot of community service stuff.

That sounds awesome man. What could be more fun than fucking shit up, getting a work out and actually being paid for it!?

usually its just a phase where you renovate after, sometimes jobs would keep me for the renovation part so its not all demo,all the time.

i worked for a restaurant and had the pleasure of annihilating the structure inside, walls,piping ceiling,floor with a pirate crew of local musicians and friends. that was a real fun gig, was fed high end foods for free nearly everyday.

ive since worked in warehouses doing similiar stuff, its all odd job stuff,temporary work. it doesnt pay good and its not a career type thing unless you want to work with a construction company, there are different kinds obviously but i dont want full time work, i like being a musician with spare time and i dont care to make bank and invest in the future unless i stop with the music as a central focus.

thats too demanding for me and you gotta do carpentry,dry-wall, it involves alot of ward work and learning stuff thats kinda a bummer in comparison. i respect people who work trade such as construction, but id never work for a company. gentrification areas in my city would be the places to work, i dont want to build condos for yuppie scum who will price me out of my own nieghborhood, displace alot of minorities and so forth.

a junkyard sounds cool, i met a dude who in upstate NY who lived in a house in front of one and helps running it.

hell no i dont got a job lol

I had lots of jobs before I joined the Navy. One of my most favorites has been construction/demolition but metal music is my absolute favorite/dream job. Anytime I worked with metal music in the past I have been in bliss.

As a kid I used to cut yards and sell mistletoe during X-mass that I used to shoot down with a BB gun, I picked apples for a month ( and still have the Death album I bought with that money ) at age 14 and said fuck that, I worked at Mc Donald's for 6 months and wished I was picking apples again. I detailed/cleaned used cars at a auto dealer for the rest of High school and did student work in the ER and VA hospital. I was a security guard for 6 months when starting college, started working construction during the summer and school breaks, and started working as a medic. Later I got burned out on medical work, got a job doing auto repo, court summons, and locating people ( scary shit really ) and then went back to medicine and construction. Then I got scared because I didn't have the energy for 2 jobs, full time college, and a world of personal problems. I lost hope, dropped college for a semester, dropped the medic job, but stayed with construction. I made enough money to not be a bum, but I was living where I could ( homeless basically ). My old medic partner ( cool retired Army intel dude ) called the Navy ( he liked the Navy programs better ) and told them he had a friend they couldn't do without. I had told his ass not to call them but he did it anyway I was pissed at first but I needed the Navy as much as they needed me.

At first I was like, "Fine, the military is a really good move for me but NOT the Navy. They got fucked up looking uniforms". My friend put his word in but other branches were not so happy to see me. I went to the other branches and they treated me the way I looked at the time. Like a long haired metalhead smartass. All of a sudden other branch uniforms didn't look so sharp. In fact one of the first questions I remember being asked was, "Can you pass a drug test"? Yes I could. I don't and didn't do any kind of drugs, but I could read the rolling eyes and expression of, "Yeah right", in the recruiters. I was insulted and hurt but I also judged them on their first reactions to me too. They never contacted me back either. If they couldn't accept me and be willing to help transform me when I was willing than fuck them too. I didn't want to be apart of any branch that thought that way. Isn't what skills, willingness, and dedication to a change more important then what I looked like? The Navy listened, accepted, and believed in me. They helped me with everything and tried to explain everything to me, but the military has taken time to understand. The Navy uniforms slowly began to not look so fucked up.

Next thing I know, I did good on many test, the Navy nuclear program was open to me along with some major extra $$$ ( I was a sci-fi/AD&D junky ) and I lit a fire under their ass I was 22 and the oldest in my nuke class and kicking ass.

Then real war came and life started to suck for the rest of many peoples lives. The Nuke program is an insane thing alone but with the stress of killing on top of that... I could ever describe what kind of training one could except to receive there and in the fleet. Lets put it this way, most Navy SEALS are willing to do anything but the Nuke program and the same goes for Nukes wanting to do the SEALS program. Both are a living hell. It couldn't be done anyway because you are only allowed one special program in the military.

6 years later I'm about to finish my end of the deal with the Navy and I hope I'll see you all at OzzFest If not OzzFest then I hope I see you while living my dream on some stage.

the drive thru register was old, this was before the computerized cash register and moniters, in store employee survailence. me and a couple of friends would not ring in orders and just pocket the money, id work sandwiches and a few friends take turns on the register, make some loot and buy booze and weed afterwords. i didnt really do it much myself when i worked the register, but that was literally the only perk of the job. my old boss still works there 10 years after. man thats like prison as a full time job. fast food management will stripp decades off your life in terms of poor diet and total stress, id rather fight in iraq. at least in iraq you can kill some motherfuckers
