GenVibe - Community for Pontiac Vibe Enthusiasts

WOOOHOOO today is my last day at my current job. No more going into the projects and worrying about my personal safety. WOO HOOIf anyone read that old post, you know what I mean.

>your mission is to screw around all day and do nothing.do you accept this mission?

Right now, I work for a non-profit, social service agency. Which indirectly means, NO MONEY. I will be working for Kings Restaurants. It's a local chain of 37 family restaurants with EXCELLENT food and a desert menu the is the size of my head.

Congrats on the new job! I love my job, however I've been yanked out of the software test world to update documentation for three months and I feel like I'm slowly withering up and dying doing that... its not a challenge whatsoever. I love testing software and can't wait until I get to go back to it. *sigh*

Congrats on the new job!

I don't know what that is, usually the problems that i fix are caused by the ID 10 T.

You need a shirt I saw at thinkgeek.com..."It must be user error."

And yes, the ones we have are pretty much a POS too. Congrats, Poopy. Put the smackdown on them there ID 10 T's. As far as slacking goes, ahh, I've been there, hell I still am most of the time. When I see someone who is about to leave and really starts slacking, I tell them "That's alright, you have STD - short timer's disease." And Kari - those Thinkgeek shirts rock... I'm thinking about getting a few. Right now, I proudly sport the badge holder I bought from them that simply says, GEEK.

Yes, they do. I have the "There are 10 types of people in the world. Those who understand binary, and those who don't." shirt and I enjoy wearing it around campus and making people wonder what it means.

I know I'm opening a door here, but, shouldn't that be "There are 1 types of people...". Because 0 = 1 and 1 = 2, 10 = 3, etc. Or maybe I DON'T understand binary.

Well, the first day was pretty sweet. I got a brand spankin new Dell Inspiron Laptop, LOADED to the gills. A company cell phone (both of which are also for personal use) and a sweet office, its probably 30X10 and I share it with one other person. I got to test some new menu items for lunch in the test kitchen and tell them which one was the best. And after all of that the Owner/CEO....Hartley King (who, might I ad, is a hell of a nice guy) let everyone go an hour early for the holiday weekend.

With the military, and computer issues, we use the phrase "R2 (remove/replace) operator" to solve most issues...

Dude you got a dell... lol Sounds like a pretty sweet gig! I don't even get a cubicle of my own, have to sit where someone else has sat for the last 12 hours, someone else sat there the 12 before that, and so on. It's a friggin' germ farm, man. Congrats, and glad you like it.
