go to the tv station and be all 'hey can i have a master control job' and then they go AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHA and give it to you because seriously this is the bottom of the barrel as far as tv industry work goes
What's that job involve? By the name, it sounds like it's either cushy, or hellish. I'm guessing by what you're saying that it's hellish.
depends on the station and their equipment
if the station is still running mostly analog equipment, then it is hell
you're constantly running around assembling commercial reels, cueing tapes, matching format sheets, and dead rolling everything
my station is almost totally digital
which means everything is ingested from tape onto a server and playlists are assembled and monitored on a pc
which means honestly i don't really do shit
i work 10 hour shifts, and maybe do 2 hours of work on each.
the rest of the time i'm playing on the internet or watching movies or playing psp or reading comics or skateboarding or whatever the hell i feel like

That sounds pretty all right, except that it might actually get boring, especially if you have a dick boss that won't let you do such things.
knob, before you quit are you going to like put mr. hands on air or what
why would i quit i love this job
want to know what i been doing for the last hour
i been kicked back in a comfy chair with a big old pile of enchiladas in a dark air conditioned room with a giant tv and kickin' speakers watching johnny mnemonic and after that i got a big old stack of books in my filing cabinet
I think I am really close to quitting my job even though it is possibly the easiest job ever
I basically just sit at a desk four out of five days removing staples and unfolding papers in old court files and then on the fifth day I take a whole bunch of them and scan them
it would be pretty awesome if it weren't soul crushingly boring and in a tighly packed office where I am the only male surrounded by ten ugly women who constantly bitch about their husbands/boyfriends/kids/police/men in general/corporations/anything
I keep putting headphones on and cranking up my iPod but then I get a headache and I can still hear them anyways so I take my headphones off and I am all cranky because I have a headache and it takes like twenty minutes to get there and I'm only getting paid seven bucks an hour and holy crap I am typing a lot
I guess I read comic books and the newspaper at my desk but I just got called on it on friday which is pretty odd since I've been doing it for the past six months and have been more productive than I ever have
also I make about a billion less mistakes than some other people who work there
like the deaf chick or the girl who is younger than I am and has a kid whose dad is in jail because he decided that smoking marijuana was too risky for drug test purposes so he decided to switch to crack

Sounds like you need different headphones, plugs or something with noise cancellation if you hate plugs. You might have to drop a decent amount on them for something comfortable and effective...but with a job like that, that is an investment I'd willingly make.

Depends. What does he do?
It is insanely boring
especially since i work from 11pm to 9am
so for 90% of my shift, i am alone in the station
the #1 cause of dudes getting fired is falling asleep or just getting fuckin' bored of the job
luckily i am good at keeping myself entertained
i haven't done it yet
but i just helped her catch her 14 year old fooling around and i felt all sorts of weird about it because it i might hook up with her mom
And two, mrpaku, if the 14 year old doesn't know there's nothing to feel bad about
Nothing at all
a gay joke does not help my situation
i've already had this discussion tonight
why would i quit i love this job

Well, personally I'll go up to 10 years older, but she'd have to be pretty hot, and for me that would max out at 32.
also I make about a billion less mistakes than some other people who work there
like the deaf chick or the girl who is younger than I am and has a kid whose dad is in jail because he decided that smoking marijuana was too risky for drug test purposes so he decided to switch to crack
man, i'll have to see
she is hot but she is sloppy
