fun?.... seriouslly... fun includes King and Burger.... you'd be suprised how much "fun" you can have... Reason local PC Shops won't hire is due to probably not having A+ cirtification at least..... without that... the company could get sued for anything and everything that might happen to a costomers computer..... and even just getting A+.... your still quite aways from even possibly getting in due to other cirtifications that other will have over you..... erg... i hate it to... REASON why i run my own bisness.... it's nice working foryourself though...

Can't say as I blame you there. I'm working for a 24hour McDonalds. And since I'm such a faithful employee (you know, never late, always show up for my scheduled shifts, come in 90% of the time they call me for extra work because some other employee so selfishly wanted to have a life and called off, and the fact that I actually DO something while I'm there) they work me to absolute death. There is NO fun, there is no appreciation, there is NO learning anything.....well, the learning part is wrong.....
You learn to NEVER apply to fast-food work again, no matter how deseprate for work you are. You learn to 'play stupid' to certain procedures so as not to be expected to do them. You learn to master the art of looking-busy-while-doing-nothing so you get to have a breather once in a while. You learn to NEVER trust another employee to "take care" of anything that you were supposed to do. You learn to be not such a good employee so you aren't exploited as far as they can push you. You learn to take 5 Advils before going into work to avoid foot and back pain from balancing on the greasy floors all day. You learn that a half-arsed job is all you are really expected to do, do a thorough job on anything and you will be accused of taking too long to do the task. You learn that everything you do "above and beyond the call" is just a matter of course and was just part of your job, but anything you do wrong is treated as a crime against humanity and the reason for them not giving you a raise...or something..... But the biggest lesson you learn is self-control, to not go ballistic in the place and break down in a fit of frustration. You learn that complete physical exaustion is not a good enough reason to get sent home. Oh! Yes! You learn quite a bit at a fast-food joint, you can be sure about that. Boy do you learn. And the things you learn there, you will NEVER forget.
Nope, can't blame ya one bit for not wanting to work at fast-food. I can tell ya, I'm NOT lovin' it. But it gets me my upgrades for my PC and even pays a bill or two. So I swallow my pride and keep pounding away until something else comes along.
But ya know, if you get TOO desperate, they are a source of instant employment.

If you want to get into working on PC's try a local Best Buy. They hire even if you don't have A+ but they pay better if you do have it.

I've heard some horror stories bought mcdonalds.... i actually got a buddy that previously worked there and seriously would never want to be a crew worker.... He currently works at the same Buger king as me... when he first came in and a few days after working... he was amazed about the place.... he said the entire "enviroment" is completely different....
