Khajiit can still hardly believe anyone could expect folks to work for free. That blows this one's mind!
Time for Khajiit to hit the hay. Nighty!

No one except companies think it's a good thing. Even the job agency whose sole purpose is to get me out of welfare don't really like this. But them's the law..

Who makes these laws? Do you folks have elections and what not like we do here in America?
I don't think we're supposed to talk politics here but I'll just say we can vote for one party every four years and that's it. Basically we never get to vote on single issues no matter how big they are.
And tomorrow it's off to work. As much as I'm miffed about not getting to enjoy this spring as I am now used to, I do hope and think I will like it there. Hopefully I'm right.

Ok well good luck! Khajiit hopes it all works out for you and you start getting your deserved pay when the time comes!
Thanks, Khajiit

This one has to find an SKS. It's driving me mad...er!

'Ello Bay B!
I repeat: Work. Bah.
Mirocu, I'm sure it will take some adjusting but sure hope the job works out for you. Looking forward to hearing how its going for you.
Yeah, it's always an adjustment for sure. And this work is completely the opposite of what I'm used to; no fine-tuning whatsoever 
And still, it needs to be done well so there's a little conflict going on here.

Do I understand that you are basically making wooden pallets - like the kind a fork lift uses to move cargo around on?
If so , I should imagine that it is like a lot of industrial 'make something' jobs in that once your quality is satisfactory that speed becomes the goal.
A lifetime ago, I was a young bricklayer for a few years. Most of us could lay bricks well, but the top masons were those who could also do it fast. They were more valuable to the bosses.

Yup, you pretty much nailed both things here. And the boss actually told me to slow down a bit a couple of times so he didn't demand full speed from a newbie anyway which is good.
And yes, speed comes with time and practice

So do you have a quota that you need to meet?
QUOTE(TheCheshireKhajiit @ Apr 10 2017, 06:24 PM)

Not in that sense. We just have orders to fill and we have to do it in time, so same as basically anywhere else. I don't have a daily quota or anything.
But I did just quote Khajiit!

So how long did you work today?
Between 7 and 4. The others start at 6:45 but since I'm not hired I'm not allowed to work more, they explicitly said that at the agency.
And get this; I still have to apply for other jobs and then report them as usual!!!

Uggh. Gotta love technicalities...
Like, how am I supposed to manage that when I work full time??
Ugh.

How many places do you have to apply to a week?
No specifications there. I have applied for one job per week but I don't think I will bother now. I'll risk a reprimand but I'm tired enough to not care. Maybe on Fridays if I can be arsed.
And that is a bigarse if

Can you apply to places online? One time Khajiit was on unemployment and that's all he did. Online apps. No questions were asked.
Apply via email is all I do, but I'm still too tired to be arsed when I work full time

Lol, gotcha
It's a bit weird, that place. It's family run, three employees, no proper coffee making machine and the toilet is located in an old house that no one lives in. The house is located at the same place as the house the bosses live in is as well as the various barns that has the machines and so on.
I'm used to everything being under one roof, in a proper facility

Sounds like something out of a horror movie, lol
Khajiit thinks I should come armed?

Nah. In the horror movies it usually doesn't matter whether people are armed or not, lol
I reckon I'll be fine. As long as I don't say "I reckon I'll be fine"
Just watched the trailer for Thor: Ragnarok. First time in a while that I've actually been looking forward to a Marvel film.

Point Khajiit was trying to make is that he likes when females wear a bunch of earrings! This one has a thing for things that are shiny!
I have a thing for things that are smiley!
Hmm, I reckon that could use an explanation. Or not
