Anyone can post in this thread, not just Deltas. I am glad to get a wide variety of responses to this.
I saw a thread similar to this in the Beta forum, and remembered that I had wanted to ask it of Deltas, too. How do you get paid? Where does the money come from? Or if you're not working, who's helping you, married to you, or whatever?
Me: McDonald's, of course. Many people here know that already. I enjoy the job because I get to actually cook the food, at high speed, efficiently. It's not like other places where I've worked, where everything is done inefficiently, or where there's hardly any work to do and I get to stand around being bored for hours. At McD, I'm surrounded by people all the time, too, so it's never lonely.
Unfortunately, there are almost no Ne types there, although I recently discovered an ILE. I don't know the types of all the people who work on the morning shift, because I work in the afternoon. The types I've noticed are:
ILE (1) makes sandwiches, unloads the truck when it brings the food and all that
SEI (1 left, but until recently there were 2) - cooks, makes sandwiches
ESE (2 or 3) one is a manager, very funny and fun-loving; other one takes orders in drive-thru, other is uncertain type
LII (0)
LSI (3) managers and aspiring managers
EIE (1) front counter person, order taker, sometimes helps in kitchen)
SLE (2) cooking and sandwiches, french fries and front counter
IEI (0)
SEE (2) sandwiches (he's new and hasn't learned to do a lot yet), other one is order taker
suspected LIE (1) upper level manager, and.... we have exactly the sort of bad supervisor relation that they talk about - I often gripe about things that he requires us to do, but I hardly ever directly interact with him - he doesn't actually work in the store with us
ESI (3 or 4?) order takers mostly, on front counter - one is a manager
ILI (0)
IEE (0? 1? 2?) (*Edit* I think one lady is an IEE. So I will subtract some of the original frownie faces that I had written.)- no wait, I just thought of one. I think maybe this one upper level manager might be an IEE, but he doesn't work in the store, and he's GAY
So no single heterosexual guys.
EII (0) again- wait, maybe that one girl is an EII? I'm not sure, she could be ESI
LSE (0 or 1) some guy I'm not sure about, who might also be an ESE?
SLI (1) Me! And I used to have another SLI friend but he left recently to go back to school![]()

I'm probably going to graduate with a Biology degree and become a scientist. I am open to other career paths though since i sometimes second guess if i should be a scientist

) but frankly I love/hate the simplicity of my job. I think in some ways going back was me being complacent, but I think it was ultimately the right choice. It's something I excel at and leaves me plenty of room to figure out where to go from here. The training job itself was a really wonderful gig, all in all. Pretty cushy position. Good pay, lot of personal freedom, and I felt like I really had a hand in teaching the newbies the ropes. It's weird but it was sort of like being an older brother to about 15 people at a time. I grew a lot doing it, really had to be engaging with others, care for them, etc. Sure, there were headaches here and there: people who tried hard but never learned, people who learned but never tried. But you also had those people that you wound up just connecting with, that really blossomed under your tutelage. Not that I was the best teacher in the world. Pretty much I just kept encouraging them along, giving him some advice here and there, and occasionally hopping in and showing them what epic level loading looked like.
