Back story: So today I was just clothes shopping with my mom in some store when I saw a sweat shirt I really wanted, but they didn't have my size. So my mom just asks the nearest store clerk she finds, and the clerk turns out to be this amazing looking girl. So I show her the shirt I want, she goes to look for it, and a few minutes she comes back empty handed. So I'm like "Thanks for your help! =)". After a few minutes, I realize she is still in the same area as me. Just pretending to fold clothes while I'm looking around. I actually caught her checking me out at one point. Bottom line is, we were both checking each other out, and we both knew it. If my mom wasn't around, I would have actually started to flirt with the girl. Oh well.

Anyway, I'm going to be getting laid off from my current job soon since the summer season is over, so I'll need to start looking for a new job soon. I was originally thinking of getting a job that entailed physical labor so I can continue to lose weight, but that would mean no girls to flirt with. Now I'm thinking maybe I want to go into retail, since that's where the ladies are apparently.  n_u

Boyah, what should I do? I could try and find both types of jobs, but I have school to juggle into the mix, too. Haaaaalp!

I worked at a lumber yard for a year in a home depot. Hard enough work and everything, but on breaks I'd go up to the front end by the cashiers and hang out and get to know people.

So there is a possibility to combine both.

You dig?

Oh, I forgot to mention that another awesome thing about physical labor is that it pays more.  giggle;

So, factor that into your answers/votes.

Yeah, I got about a dollar an hour extra because I was forklift certified.

I used to paint as well for a local firm. I was up to $15 an hour there. I miss that.

0/2, kiddo.




Physical labor sounds like the way to go. Just as far as work goes, you can really get sucked into it and it pays well. You probably won't meet a lot of females on the job (the ones you do, chances are, probably wont' interest you / be interested in you), but if you go to parties with your coworkers you could meet a bunch of people. So it's not like it's a dead end.

Well, I already do physical labor during the summer. I work as field maintenance at a state park. There a few girls who work here, but obviously they are far outnumbered by boys, and most are already taken. I get paid about $9.38 an hour, and it's a very easy going job.

Only problem is there isn't as much physical labor available now, since most of it usually involves being outside, such as landscaping. Most physical jobs are seasonal.
