I don't have a job yet...still going to college, but I did have a part-time job teaching Karate to small kids and it was painful as hell! |

My last day at work paid me for going to rugby practice and sitting on my ass. Not a bad gig. |

My last job? Pretty easy once you got the basics down (screening officer). It's been several months since I've been employed there, but I'm quite certain I could still do all but one of the duties I usually performed. The one thing I would be rusty at is x-ray, simply because I don't have a program at home where I can pick out IED's, knives, guns and irritant gases on a regular basis. Everything else though? Pretty easy.

I'm sure.... but I just got the impression that the OP was talking about physically-demanding jobs...?

| | | | Assistant IT Director,
the machines are easy but the people are damn difficult.
Being as the whole point of my job is to make it seem like I sit around a do nothing it's not too bad.
If I have nothing to do... I'm doing a damn good job.

| | Registered User | | Join Date: Nov 2008 Location: Grand Prairie, Texas | | | I prepare paper work and sometimes they let me run the machine in the imaging deparment for B of A. It's super easy and it pays well.... but it sucks the life out of me... there are no windows in that building, the security people are kind of jerky... and a piece of my soul dies everytime I go in there. I'm so glad it's Friday. They can't keep people employed there because it's repetitive mind numbing work and everyone just leaves and doesn't come back.

On the other hand I run a lot and get yelled at a lot, and don't get paid very well. FOr the moment I am outside of my speciality, doing tons of paperwork and inventories and such, and since i learned it all thoruhg a week or so of OJT, it gets kind of challenging. Still, all in all my job is pretty easy.

Easy if you don't care how the site is coded (virtual duct tape if you will), if you don't care about cross browser compatibility, dynamic components ext.
Hard as hell when you strain to put out 4 or 5 sites in a week that all work in Ie6 and look perfect, using only standards complaint code.
It's also hard because after the 200th site you've built it all becomes the same mind numbing crap that you can't bare to do anymore, at which point you turn to TB. | | Thread Tools | Search this Thread | | | |
