I have been at my current job since February 2016, and I am glad to be there.

The work itself is a bit meh. It is a seaweed-fertilizer factory. Every day I work there, I come home and reek of seaweed, physically exhausted from just generally tiring manual labor. However I don't hate the work. It is alright, and depending on the job I can listen to music as well.

The people I work with are great. Two of the guys I sometimes work with are close mates from my church. There is another one who I work with every day that I work (who is full time) and he is an awesome bloke, and there is a new bloke who is actually a Syrian refugee who is a really friendly bloke (I think. I don't speak arabic and his english is still getting there. Google Translate is a life saver).

My bosses are great. One of them is the Chair of the Council at my church, and his son is one of my youth kids. He is really easygoing with when I can work (in that if I ever want extra days he is always happy to give them to me, and is always cool for me to change days depending on my uni timetable. Granted one of the other guys keeps bailing, and he isn't being a pushover with him or anything), and our breaks always go a bit overtime but it isn't an issue.

The pay is decent as well. I work 2 days a week on average which puts $750 or so in my account at the end of each fortnight. And the work is all in day blocks, so I knock it all out in two or three days and I am set, never having to do shifts at night or anything.

So yeah, even though I wouldn't want to work there forever, whilst I am in uni, it is great.
