Dr. JoeUser or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Get a Job

Nogs

What kinda jobs do you guys have?

Do you hang out with this guy?



or this guy?



Myself, I am a broke ass freelance web designer/developer. My goal for the next year is to ramp up my skills and knowledge of LAMP and JavaScript so I can have a really nice portfolio that will (hopefully) get me out of the freelance business and into a solid and steady job with decent pay.

If you are currently looking for work, got an interview coming up, or whatever, let us(JoeUser) know!

Work is mind numbingly slow today. I think these days are worse than the crazy busy ones, at least time goes fast.

I've got to go work at our other branch tomorrow, our branch which is boring as hell, to cover because someone is on holiday and someone else is having fits. Literally having fits. I'm taking about ten books. Luckily it is only a one off and I'll get to go back to my nice busy shop.

I'm a computer guy for a financial aid office.

My job ranges from working with the SQL network and delivering data in scrumptious bite sized portions or designing Flash communications to send out to potential freshman applicants or the lowest of the low which involved telling my superior this morning that her computer wouldn't turn on because it wasn't plugged in.

I will be leaving this job in June, and it will be a glorious day.

He got the phone call from the HSE (Health and Safety Executive) saying he would be sent a letter about the unacceptable temperature and that he must make acceptable changes in a certain amount of time (which is due to run out soon).

My boss told another member of staff this and claimed that he set the HSE straight, saying that the rules were different for florists and that he had got the HSE guy to apologise to him. My manager phoned the HSE and turns out our boss had lied, and that the rules aren't different at all. That we should be provided with at least one warm room.

This week my boss came in while the manager and I were there and told us about this letter, and gave us the same lie as the other member of staff, and that we could put the single heater on for one hour during dinner time, in a room that isn't the workroom. We played dumb but his time is running out next week I think. I'm not sure what my manager is going to do next. It's still cold until then.

Well, this guy is certainly a tool.

Hopefully things get taken care of soon!

Mr. Buttons

I want a job with very little responsibility, very flexible schedule, and huge pay ($Texas or higher). Also does not require university degree, and possibly provides a never questioned limitless expense account.

No, I was just going to warn you about the mind numbing experience that is having to write with no real effort being made.

Yep this is what he's gonna do, he has a copy of the letter our boss was sent so we have proof that my boss is wrong in writing :^:

Work logged me in at ten whole hours this week. Whoopdee doo.

If another week passes like the past few have, I am just going to man up and get some sort of night shift job doing something, because goddamn I am not used to having all this free time

He is very excellent at what he does. Even though the jobs he found for me didn't pan out, he found me listings where I wouldn't have even considered looking. Kudos to JoeUser!

Joe, if you are there, what do you do for a living? What is your job?
