So What Do You Do When You're Not Busy Vaping?

I hate a lot of things about China, but 1 thing that I do admire is this; "all people that work, irrespective of what they do, have an equal standing / status and respect in their society" I wish the West could embrace this as well.
Don't... ask us what we did at your age!
I was a bank teller! Awesome job... choon the hot chicks all day... then party at night in the banking hall with a few 5L bottles of Lieberstein or Paarl Perle!
I think exactly the same .
my first job out of school was a wise eye reading therapist ( http://www.wiseeye.co.za/) at an optometrist and reception work for them too occasionally. left because I got paid absolute peanuts!
From there I went onto being a PA and receptionist at an IT company which I got retrenched from
From there I moved on to a wholesale shoe distribution company and started as a receptionist and moved my way up through the company was eventually a brand and imports manager (Gave me alot of experience neede for my current position ) left them because I basically was running their entire company and not getting the salary i deserved (Was there for 4 years and they would not give me a raise to what I needed)
and then onto Primedia which I was retrenched from aswell (Bastards!)
So dont feel bad We all have to start somewhere

true dat @Stroodlepuff
i went to university immediately after matric, excelled in my first two years, then got heavily distracted in my final year and eventually flopped out. i then had to go and work.
my first job was in a call centre. worked for a company called Car Phone Warehouse, selling telephone packages to UK clientelle (it was a balls of a job, but it was my first and i loved it)
then moved around the call centre industry for about 3 years, with varying jobs (standard bank, edcon, vodacom etc)
then left the call centres and got a job at Maskew Miller Longman, as a boytjie in the marketing department. when i say boytjie i mean i used to pack and unpack all the shit, send stuff off to the different provinces and what not. wasnt ideal but was a lekker job.
then i decided to pursue my career and registered at unisa to study part time.
then got a lekker job as an intern at the Auditor General. worked lekker there for a full year before getting an offer at Barloworld Coachworks in Parow (as junior accountant). i got a sense something was going sour there and decided to leave to the job i have now.
im currently completing my bcom accounts degree through unisa. it just got a whole lot more challenging now with my second princess being born in jan this year.
so far id say ive had an exciting working history, but the best is yet to come

i know he asked about RSA Web the other day as well.
So did you go to the final day at the Cape Epic? Wanted to go check but got in there at like 05h30 the morn from the jazz fest, had some coffee, walked around till 07h30 and passedout in the car till 11h00, drove back to grabouw to pick up some other people and then the boss wanted to go home.
It always amuses me that the youff of today don't know the joy/terror of listening to the modem handshaking over a dialup connection. I remember when a 56K US Robotics modem was styling and hi speed.
Also countless hours spent on ZAnet IRC servers or taking 30 seconds to download a grainy image of Pamela Anderson's boobies. Oh those were the good times.
I got one of those !!

I sold a hell of a lot of these... at the height of my internet business I sold more USRobotics modems from my home business in New Germany than any other reseller in SA!
Yip!!! And then beltel.
Backnin the day 14.4 modem is what you ised, and it took about 3 or 4 minutes to open a picture.
On beltel, you had access to the real internet as well. It was in the form of a text only browser (lynx) and a basic irc client. Irc was where i wasted all my dad's money.
