I work at a local ISP, in a town of about 26,000. The company is big for the region, but tiny in comparison to the world. They don't understand that. Most people in the Tech field are anti-social and inverted people, with anger management problems. I am the complete opposite. I'm a social, joking, athletic person. I'm 6'5 and 260lbs. I stick out like a sore thumb. The pay is ok, but not what it should be. I hate the real working world. I still love technology but can't stand constantly fixing something broken and putting my life on hold because some local area is outta service at 3am.


I am leaving soon, to go back to school and pick up my alternate teaching certification. There is a good market for teachers with IT degrees. You are like a part-time teacher/techie. Which will last until I can get my masters and break into the college ranks. Are there any other teachers on the board besides MELF?

I still work for the graphics end of our university bookstore. Doing ads, flyers, banners and whatnot for over a year now. I still love it. And recently, I've picked some freelance work doing digital coloring and inking for www.titmouse.net - check out their demo reel, they're a talented and diverse group.

I do tech support for Apple Computer. When I am not wanting to kill the customers, I am wanting to kill myself.

Yes, I love my fucking job THAT much.

This Friday I'm interviewing for a Mac Genius position with California's regional director for a new store.

As for cars, give me a G35 or a TL.

See, I could handle that. At least I would get to see most of the customers in person. My current position has me being told "eat shit" daily, over the telephone, by oh-so-chirpy users, and not being able to say anything but "oh, I am sorry you feel that way. We at Apple..." blah blah blah. All because they can't get support on their os 8.6 fucking ancient beige powermac. GET A NEW COMPUTER YOU USELESS FUCK.

So, a bit bitter. Just a bit.

Oh, and I love it when they threaten to sue Apple because "what you are doing is against the law young man! I paid 4000 dollars for this machine 10 yrs ago! And that, by law, means you HAVE to help me. I think it's because you don't know the answers to my questions! I am going to sue!"

Yeah...

But, my FAVOURITE calls are when a customer calls in and are like "I want to make an imovie and then make a dvd. With like..menus and some music and stuff. Teach me how to do it."

Serioulsly, wtf. I am not your fucking teacher. What's happened to self-suffiency these days?

The funny thing is, Apple app's are so effing intuitive that it saddens me to think people STILL can't figure this shit out. Seriously, iMovie is brilliant, and it's a snap to make a good looking movie and burn it to disc. iDVD, I'm not so sure. My dad works for Infinite Loop in Campbell, so I've been a mac user all my life.

I work for Target and do the overnight shift. The people I work with make it a blast. I'm also in and out of college, I really need to get in gear and go full time.

[bbobb]

Don't know if I've posted in this thread, but I might as well post what I do.

Right now I'm a full time college student in International Studies and History, just finishing up my Junior year. I also work part time for the UI Career Center and part time as a Front Desk Clerk at a local hotel.

American car fans are crazy. I appreciate their devotion, at least. Give me a 911.

Give me a C6 Z06 Vette and Ill blow that 911's doors off.

For like 20 grand less.

Give me a '05 Viper and Ill anihlate both.

There are great cars from ANY country.
