I'll be kicked out of the office at 15.00 each tuesday and thursday the whole summer due to "summertime" Who else got cool employers/benefits/etc? There are only 10 types of people in the world. Those who understand binary, and those who don't. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

wmw999 2,167 #18 May 15, 2003 I'm free within limits to make my own hours; I make good money, have good insurance, and now I have my own office.

nacmacfeegle 0 #20 May 15, 2003 "Did you make a pros/cons list before deciding to leave??" But Lisa said "Bosses who'll let me take a three month leave of absence " Which basically means she gets her old job back once she is :- A- Fed up with the constant partying. B- Busted from the constant partying. C- Released from rehab after the constant partying. D- All of the above.

"I make good money," I'm an independent 'contract' consultant engineer, the money is nice.

CanuckInUSA 0 #23 May 15, 2003 There is nothing cool about my job except to say that I still have it and it pays the bills. What can I say, the people I work with are boring people. The hi-light of their lives is to go home at night and watch the reality TV shows (because they don't have realtity in their lives), do computer geek stuff (like work on their home networks or software projects), work on their gardens and maybe for the few yuppies in the crowd hang out at the golf country club. But most of them just work 12+ hours a day because that's all they know and enjoy. I think most of them are surprised that I'm not dead yet as since I've become a skydiver, my responsibilities have diminished. But that's ok with me, as I don't live for work (despite the fact that the whuffo boss once told us that he wanted us to live and have a passion for the company). Work sucks ... I'm going to the mountains ... or going skydiving!!! Try not to worry about the things you have no control over Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
