Any former NEETs who got a job recently actually enjoying it?

>Feel fulfillment well up inside me and bump his fist.
I've been working here now for like 2 months and its been pretty great. I've even gotten pretty good at cooking. My mom's pretty proud of me too, I'm basically Spongebob now
Yeah the only job i ever had was flipping burgers, was pretty comfy
Then one day i just didnt feel like going and then never went again
I need a job where i can work when i feel like it
>>27461971
How much do you make?
Do you live on your own now?
Congrats OP, we're all proud of you. Make sure you save a bit of money for munitions for the upcoming beta uprising, we need all the help we can get.
Good on you op, I'm actually proud of you.
It's good you're taking a change in your life, if you're miserable at work fair enough, might aswell become a NEET.
But if you enjoy it, don't let it go brother. Work you enjoy is nearly impossible to find nowadays!
>>27461971
Doesn't it bother you standing in the same place all day doing the same repetitive task
>>27461971
>"Ha don't leave me hanging brah, we did really good"
>Feel fulfillment well up inside me and bump his fist.
did you suck his dick?
>>27461994
I hear ya anon, some days is like ehh I really don't wanna go in, but i the feeling usually passes
>>27461998
Like 8 bucks an hour, plus tips. I'm saving up to move out in maybe a few more months
>>27462050
Ya man, the first time i had someone tell me my food was delicious it stayed with me for like a week. Feelsgood
>>27462064
he says sitting in the same place all day typing away at his keyboard
>>27462103
Are you seriously comparing the two
>>27462126
Well they are basically identical, so why not? The only difference is that he's actually making money, making friends and getting a sense of fulfillment while you're not
>>27462064
It's not too bad. Since it's a small place cooks also take orders out to customers or ring them up when register is busy with a phone order
>>27462070
Ha nah, but we hang out sometimes after work now to smoke and chill
>>27462091
Tbh familar, that compliment will stay with you for the rest of your life.
>>27462153
so he sucked your dick?
>>27462150
>they are basically identical
You made it anon, good job man.
>>27462163
Its really cool looking out and seeing people enjoy something you made. I never knew something so small could make me feel so good.
>>27462172
Nah you caught me famalam, i totally sucked his
>>27461971
>Any former NEETs who got a job recently actually enjoying it?
Yup, being NEET for 2 years really made me feel like I was stagnating and depressed.
I don't earn too much now but I enjoy my work and being busy works wonders for your mental health.
>Be me 4 years ago, 18yo
>Enherit a lot decent amount of money
>Be NEET for 2 years with that money
>Eventually money runs out
>Look up jobs that don't require diplomas or special skills
>narrow it down to being a receptionnist because I can speak two languages and I look decent in a suit
>Send out my resume to several companies
>Get an interview the next day
>Ace it and become receptionnist
Been at it for the past two years in various companies. It's really cool, most of it is really easy and most of the time I can just fuck around on the internet because there's nothing to do. Currently went up a notch in my job, working for a lawyer's practice as a "VIP receptionnist". Better pay and less hours. I like it desu my coworkers are cool and I work in the nice and rich part of town
>>27462314
That's cool man, what's your job like?
>>27462339
Sounds pretty comfy desu
>>27462366
>what's your job like?
Office job.
Basic coding and admin work.

You're cute anon. I'm glad you have something you like to do. :)
Keep at it!

Did I do it right?
I mean, if I sign off 20 years of my life, I can be a NEET again and live off of government tendies.
>>27462064
Have you ever played a video game?
I guess the only difference is between standing and sitting.
To be fair even video games can be repetitive and boring, and we still play them. At least at a job you're getting paid for it, neh?
>20
>had a chill job in a family run burger joint (not my family of course)

I'm 23 now and I'm still salty about it, my social autism ruined my one good job, and the others ones I've had were too demanding and not a comfy/nice.
>>27461971
I got a job twenty days ago and I feel like killing myself everyday. I regret falling for the wagekek meme.
>>27462064
Yet here you are on 4chan all day
>tfw you worked retail for 6 years and was bad at even when you left
I don't even know what it's like to be good at a job; I've been lacking in every single job I've had. I have no idea how I wasn't fired.
>>27464163
I'm the same desu
I've been fired from all my jobs because I'm just terrible at everything
My best job I was fired from because I kept coming in drunk and high on painkillers, then knocking things over and falling down these cellar stairs. It was some fast food place btw I'm surprised they even kept me for as long as they did
>>27461971
>enjoying your job
just give it time m8
>>27461971
recently former neet, but i wouldn't say that i enjoy my job. i don't hate it, but it's not exactly exciting either.
>Get job as office assistant through employment offices
>All day long I plow through brain dead paperwork
>Fill out forms, sort them in archives, go through long lists of numbers
>This kind of work always stacks up since no one else in the office has the energy to do it
>I end up doing it all for everyone
>They are impressed that I'm so fast and can do this without going insane
>Everyone likes me and often asks me to join them for lunch
>They talk about me like I'm one in the team

SHUTup SHUTUP!!! I cant believe you, people like this dont exist in my world! ..its not fair can you at least be really ugly
>>27464020
Sounds like you were doing your job just fine and your coworkers were a bunch of assholes for thinking poorly of you just for being a little socially awkward.
Just got a job stacking shelves. I work in the evenings it's pretty comfy. The only problem is sometimes customers ask me questions about where a product is and I have no clue.
I'm 28 and have never worked a single day in my life. I don't know how people can stand (no pun intended) being on their feet 8 hours straight doing some menial repetitive task. I can't even stand for 10 minutes without getting antsy and I'm not even fat. I would literally go crazy and my feet would be killing me. I just don't have that kind of stamina or mental fortitude
I had a pretty awesome job in high school
>mom worked as a preschool teacher during the year and worked daycare for toddlers during the summer
>got me a job as her "classroom assistant" for the daycare
>3 days a week watching over a handful of two year olds from late morning-early afternoon
>get paid $45 a day
>the kids loved me, didn't care or even pick up on the fact that I was super socially awkward
there are good, cozy jobs and they're worth finding
don't usually pay well but they're tolerable
don't give a shit job your body and soul - big companies will milk you dry. smaller businesses are usually much better to work for
>>27464523
This might come as a shock to you but not all jobs require you to stand all the time. In fact, most jobs that aren't menial labour are sitting work.
>>27464572
I still couldn't stand some some repetitive task for so long every single day. Even videogames get boring as fuck, and those are fun. Variety is the spice of life. I get burned out very quickly doing anything too much

I've been sober for 2 years.
I may be older than some of the students here, but I don't give a fuck.
My mom called me and started crying saying how proud she was of me.
>>27464767
Don't worry it'll all crash and burn soon enough, mark my words
I-i'm glad you're happy o-op.
now im going to kill myself
Sounds comfy as shit anon, glad you're making it.
I've been on a one year NEET streak ever since I quit the job but
>get a job at a sushi bar
>coworkers are pretty nice, some of them unpleasant
>thanks to nepotism, get a lot of leeway like not getting fired when I forgot I worked a certain day
>ate a lot of free food including sushi
Probably as good as I was gonna get with a food job but I stopped liking it so I quit.
>Applying to Craiglist jobs left and right

Not bad desu
>>27464979
Your family owns it?
>>27464767
You want a fucking cookie?
Literally everyone who didn't so drugs and graduated on time is better than you.
>>27461971
That's a cool story anon. Gives me hope.
>>27464826
That's life.
That's what all the people say.
You're riding high in April, shot down in May.
But I'm gonna change that tune.
When I'm back on top, back on top in June.
>>27461971
I was NEET a few years ago and I loved my first job. It was a crappy dishwashing job but I was making money and my coworkers were great, it helped me overcome a lot of my social anxiety.
Most normies are not malicious like /r9k/ implies, they are just normal dudes who are trying to get by like everyone else, and many of them will happily be your friend.
>>27464230
Who/what supports you if you can't maintain a job? I live with my parents.
>>27464826
>>27464767
ahahahahaha
Trust me your girlfriend is going to dump you, or you're going to fail an exam, any knock in your life and you're going to relapse
When I crashed my car I refused a ride with the ambulance and ran away so I could walk to the shit neighbourhood and buy some smack instead. When my girlfriend left me to be 'by herself' for a few days to take a break from our relationship, the first thing I did was buy an 8 ball of cocaine, get drunk and smash all the windows out of her car with a jack Daniels bottle.
Trust me m8, I never had any will or desire to stop being intoxicated. The only reason I stopped was because I would violate my probation. Even now I am high on heroin
Go back to drugs, it's better.
>>27462091
>a burger flipper
>still makes 2,5x times more money than me as a qualified worker after college

Congrats op, don't let the capitalist condition get to you tho. It's good to feel fulfilled when doing something, but wageslaves are called wageslaves for a reason. Don't forget to put work aside and experience other things out there. Hopefully you continue to get treated well at your workplace and you continue to like it. Maybe you can get to know some of the regulars? Yay friends!

Whats with the influx of spongebob posters? You faggots need to kill yourselves.
Last time I had a job, I only worked there for 4 weeks because my coworkers treated me like shit. They'd talk about going out to drinks right in front of me without inviting me. Really made me feel worthless. I just walked out of there midshift and no one noticed for 3 hours.
>>27465440
Why are normies so fucking cruel?
This comment is original i swear
All you fucking normies who managed to get jobs are not robots and should leave /r9k/ forever.
The end.

>>27466296
People who invite themselves to social gatherings are generally seen as really annoying. If they want you there, they'll ask. Forcing yourself on people will just make them want to avoid you more and make them feel like spending time with you is a chore. You are the autist for not understanding this.
>>27464163
I've been in retail for a year and even though it feels like shit to do such a low level job, I find it fun. It feels like I'm hanging out with people all day and talking to like 100 different people a day.
I don't know what to do, I don't want this to become my life but I can imagine missing it.

I was going to go inna woods for some carbon monoxide poisoning last year. Then I decided to drop out of college and work trades. Now I'm looking into getting a condo. Th-thanks Mr. Shekelstein.

I absolutely hate it but at least my mom is happy.

If I was interviewing you I would have burst into laughter. But I can see how you shouldn't crack jokes like that around customers
I drive trucks for a living. I make about 50K a year and can go up to 80K if I wanted to bust ass.
It's actually pretty cumfy if you like being alone. My truck has all my anime figurines, I got my laptop and a good data plan. I just shitpost, sleep and then cuss at other drivers all day.
CB radio is like shitposting central for normies. I call people autistic hamplanets all the time.
I work at the college cafeteria. Its a fun job, but now the Normies recognize me and want to talk to me and I have no idea what to say. Its kind of uncomfortable now.
>>27465742

Hows u get the job?
I have no idea how anyone could ENJOY working at a restaurant, but I'm glad some of you to seem to.
I hate working with food; cooking it, packaging, serving it, etc. I also hate the cleaning associated with it, especially in such a high-stress environment.
I'm a substitute teacher now and the job is really easy but I hate children and don't like being around them at all.
>>27468037familyconnections senpai.
I wish I found a job I liked. It's all been warehouse shit for me since last year. The only job I ever liked was folding boxes for a warehouse for $10/hr because everyone was chill and I could just go to work, do my job and go home with no hassle. My boss even told me I was one of the best employees he's ever had. Damn shame it was a temp job - even if the pay wasn't good I prefer it over my current job. Hell, if we finished our quota of boxes for the day we could go home early and get the full day's pay, too.
Unfortunately my boss turned out to be a cunt and fired me for not coming in on overtime days despite telling me I didn't have to. Like shit, don't fucking lie to me.

Can't wait to buy firearms and more car parts, wew lad. If I keep saving up at this rate, I'll be able to buy a small house in six years.
