Guest BengalsOwn Posted November 13, 2004 Report Share Posted November 13, 2004 I'm "working" right now. I mostly slack off. If they can outsource my job to India (in progress right now), I can outsource my job, well, to nobody. I just won't work very hard at it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CatScratchFever Posted November 13, 2004 Report Share Posted November 13, 2004 I'm an engineer for a prison security automation company. Business is slow right now, so I've got lots of time on my hands at work. THey won't let me surf for porn, so this is the next best thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wish I was an electrician or worked in construction or something. I'm going to weigh 250 pounds by the time I'm 25 from sitting in a desk all the time (I weighted 160 when I was 18, and at 21 I am at 195).

I worked in the global network center, and were were surrounded by 36" TV's. I worked nights, so there weren't any supervisors, and we were able to watch whatever we wanted, and we pretty much did whatever we wanted, as long as we didn't have any systems go down or run out of disk space etc. We just monitored everything. We'd take turn sleeping, it was great. A team in India now handles all of the monitoring Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I weighed about 130 when I was 18 (I'm 6'1", I was SCRAWNEY) and I'm about 220 now (at 34. Have a bit of a gut... ok alot of a gut ). A 'boring' job where you can sit at a desk and surf the net all day sounds pretty good to me right now. But I guess "the grass is always greener..."

Actually, I did make an effort to learn COBOL one time. It was SO, frikkn boring, most of the time. The rest of the time it was frustrating because I had to search through lines and lines of code to find out that I forgot to put a goddamn comma in the right place. I have now officially turned myself over to the "point-and-click" generation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hiyall69 Posted November 13, 2004 Report Share Posted November 13, 2004 I understand that, COBOL was a difficult language to grasp. I made things easy on myself though. I always grouped code into paragraphs that made sense. I use to see people write all their code in the main line paragraph. That would be very confusing. You also needed to know where the lines of code could start. There were certain levels or something like that. They've since changed that. COBOL can be written in a free format now. No lineup neccessary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boomer07 Posted November 13, 2004 Author Report Share Posted November 13, 2004 COBOL was a difficult language to grasp. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I don't think it was difficult to grasp. I understood (understand) it. It just pissed me off to no end when the frikkin prog wouldnot work because of a simple typo error. I just don't have the patience (or perhaps, typing skills) to be a programmer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
|Bunghole| Posted November 13, 2004 Report Share Posted November 13, 2004 I work as a bartender at an exclusive country club in a little town called Batesville, Indiana, home of Hillenbrand Industries, a global, Fortune 500 company that is the world's largest producer of caskets (via sub-corporation Batesville Casket Company), the world's largest manufacturer of hospital beds (via sub-company Hill-Rom) and a world leader in "funeral planning" (via sub-company Forethought). It's actually kinda creepy-you're born in a Hill-Rom hospital bed, you plan your funeral with another of their companies, when you get sick you're laying in one of their $10,000 beds, and when you die you're buried in one of their caskets. It's a "cradle-to-grave" sorta vibe that never ceases to amaze me...but talk about job security! Anyhoo, everyone that is an executive for these sub-companies, and the Hillenbrand family members are all members of this club, and many are multi-multi-millionares. I get my share of the self-entitled rich boy attitude but most are pretty cool. the money's pretty good and I can't think of a more effective way to put my highly marketable English degree to good use. I'm on this board so much because I work from 4:00 pm until ?--so I'm on in the late mornings, early afternoons and late, late night. Like now...I'm currently sucking on my 2nd beer and I'm just getting started... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hiyall69 Posted November 13, 2004 Report Share Posted November 13, 2004 I understood it too. It was my first program class. It was pretty funny though, first time teacher didn't know what the hell he was doing. I was always telling him that something he was doing was wrong. And I never even opened the book for the class. Passed with flying colors. LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I'll be sipping on my third beer probably at about 5:00 in the morning. I always feel kinda pathetic when I'm standing outside smoking a cigerette and drinking a beer, while kids are on their way to school That's what happens when you work nights though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
