A continuation of the previous thread wherein we discuss working, getting paid, both or none of the above, resumes, CVs, interviews, and other such stuff
and possibly Ultima
I can't quote because the thread's locked, but damn @Liiya, those flowers are purdy. As a software engineer I'm sort of jealous of people whose jobs let them get a little creative; for me, creativity is 'ok how many wrappers can I hide this critical function in' or something

Mine's pretty boring most of the time but I get to read books all day and play games on the computer so it's not too bad. Our benefits used to include awesome insurance but they took that away from us and now we have shitty insurance.
I insure pets.
But I get 25 days holiday, 12 days of flextime, flexible working hours, and up to 25% bonus, and a very decent pay packet.
But at the end of the day, I still insure pets.
whichever of my predecessors thought using void pointers in this c++ project was a good idea needs to get a fucking lobotomy
jesus christ debugging this is a nightmare
Like, insurance for pets?
kill him
no jury in the land will convict you
It's kinda like what the guy in Numbers does each episode only boring and no one solves a crime or benefits from the knowledge overmuch.
Yes Pet Insurance.
You pay me money, and I laugh and say no when you come crawling to me for vet fees 'cos Fido thought he could take on a bus.*
*this is an inaccurate description as it would involve me laughing at any point during my job.
"well I mean, can you just download the facebook site, and then make it part of our site? I'm pretty sure I've done that before with our old site"
he's trying to find me the plugin he downloaded that let him do this back in the late 90s
Aw thank you, thats really nice of you to say!
Come on Rolo, just download facebook.
All of it.
Just take a screenshot of facebook, edit the name facebook with whatever he wants, and host it on photobucket.
sorry I only work on OSX software, you can't get facebook on OSX

"....sure."
"Oh and we'll have a check for you. Like whiskey?"
"See you Wednesday."
Some days are good days.
It's not computer parts, but I did check and make sure this wasn't the problem before getting pissy. We asked why it's been delayed, they claimed to not understand the question, then claimed they didn't know. We specifically asked if it was due to flooding, because that is an excuse that my customers will handle.
It's not. They "are checking" to see what the delay is about.
You know what, even though they claim it's not the weather, it's probably about the weather.

GRATS! :^:
Do you mind if I ask what you do?
it's not particularly exciting, but I nearly always have enough to do and I only work 4 hours a day, so any complaints I might have are rendered invalid
my new job is 100% more fun, challenging and rewarding
pity the rotation is only six months, I hope the next place is just as neat
what is going on here
that is not a post I made
do you get to hand out neat gadgets to vigilantes?
Hard work and talent.

Bahahahaha. Shcmoozing with the right people.
I work at a large Silicon Valley internet company with two consecutive o's in the name as a "Defense Engineer". At a high level, it involves preventing attacks on our sites.

Anti-fun perhaps.
