Title: Work sucks
Post by: vealchop on April 23, 2007, 07:44:53 pm
Started a new job today after 2 years at my old one. Yikes my head feels like its gonna explode. I don't think I've ever had a good first day at a job. Has anyone?

New jobs always suck for a while. I've had about four or five first day experiences at jobs and they all were the same...all just as bumbling. I think that's the best word for it. There's always the learning curve. :P The worst was having to jump into serious work without any training. Learning on the job can be the worst.

Did the new job relocate you?

Yep, me and the fiancee packed up and moved to kansas city. I'll be an official home owner by mid-july, crazy.

Congrats on that.
I'd like to be a home owner too as soon as possible. I don't like paying rent.  :)

New home owner?  make sure you get a basement so you can start planning for a display/musuem  room for all your Nintendo antiques and of course famicom games. :)

Umm.. I would caution you if you store any valuables in the basement.

Another thing about basements is that probably your kids will want to live there at a certain age. ;)

Good luck with the job!

Hehe, I can't say if I've ever had a good first day at a job since I've never had one...  I better get one soon though...

What kind of job?
Title: Re: Work sucks
Post by: JC on May 22, 2007, 11:05:41 am
Paper pushing, mostly, but in an area of education that interests me and where I can move up: shaping how and what students learn (curriculum and instruction).

That sounds nice. This would be interesting to mee, too.
Good luck. ;D

Finally started my new job today. It went great...a little slow, the day dragged on, but what should I expect from training. Should be good but I hope I don't have to sit in front of a computer too much. I did that for most of the day, and it mades me want to avoid checking in with FW's forum when I got home. :(

I work with my dad at his Mattress warehouse business. The hours are everywhere and the pay is shitty.

Next summer, I'm gonna get a real job so I can buy a car.

I do freelance PC repair, home/small office networking, and to a much lesser extent, I repair CRT TVs / Monitors, DVD players, gaming consoles and component level repair of PC hardware (like replacing blown capacitors or busted ports on motherboards).

I'm a Java coder for CSC working under a contract with the FAA.  Ever been stuck at an airport because your flight was delayed?  I work on modernizing the software that supplied information to the FAA which guided them to make the decision to tell the airlines to delay that flight.

I work in sales foe the Kelloggs snacks division. Sounds a lot cooler than it is, I'm basically a pack out bitch.
