Have you earned your money at work today?

Question

I've not done that much if I'm honest, so in my case, no. What about you ? What have you been doing?

Answer 1

Definetely not. I'm a writer and I'm supposed to be writing a short story for a compilation that's all about psychik power and other such nonsense. What I'm actually doing is hanging around Yahhoo Answers and procrastinating because I want to get to level 2 so I can use the thumb up/down thing.  

Answer 2

I earned squat, I did squat... so yes

Answer 3

I am currently a 'Freelance Full-Time Jobseeker' & I make up the Government Statistics !

I was a Parking Attendant (now Civil Enforcement Officer) for APCOA contracted to provide Parking Enforcement for Wandsworth Borough Council in south west London ! I was taken off the Contract at the request of Wandsworth Borough Council (WBC) because I was not issuing enough Penalty Charge Notices (PCNs) ! What with the cost of Fuel & Parking Charges going up less Motorists could afford to pick up a PCN ! It's obvious to me ! It is a Money Making Exercise ! It is all about earning Revenue !

I had NO Employment Rights under current Employment Law with the way the Contract was drawn up between between WBC & APCOA ! Anybody can be taken off the Contract at the request of WBC & the employee in question has no means of redress & 0% Legal Rights ! So I find myself as a 'Full-Time Freelance Jobseeker' !

Oh Well ! Life goes on & on & on until I die !

Answer 7

Full time uni here, but so much going on, it seems as though I am never done *and* if being paid $50 an hour, I would be earning it in my book.

Answer 15
