    Nah I work at THQ Studio Oz, in Brisbane Australia. Where you at DD?

    YOU BET! And my mum said I wouldn't get anywhere with these games!

    I actually did a course in games programming at Qantm College in Brisbane. I was hoping to get into the industry as a programmer then try to transfer into the design department. But luckily for me, THQ were looking for junior designers at my industry night (where we show off our end of year projects). I said 'YES PLEASE!', took the design test and interview, and I'm still here now.

    Independent Agent Representing Aflac... And I'm also certified by CMS to enroll seniors into Medicare Advantage plans.


    The worst part about it is not getting to help you get coverage for life's unexpected events.


    So hit me up already!

    I agree that being homeless doesn't mean you're annoying.

    But, homeless people are homeless for a reason. Some of them are homeless because they're disabled either mentally or physically. Some of them are homeless because they're down on their luck and they're in between houses.

    Some of them, though - I have no facts to say this is the majority or not, but I'm pretty sure it is - are homeless because they've burned all bridges available to them.

    I mean, think about it - there's only 2 things in life that you absolutely NEED - food and shelter. If you don't have that, you're really screwing up - whatever your reason. Because, to not have shelter, it means that you have no friend or family member that would take you in. Sure, maybe your family's in another country, dead, or never existed in the first place. What's the excuse for having no friends that will help you with the most basic need of life? Probably that you're annoying and people don't like dealing with you :grin:

    I do outside sales for a manufacterer that sales to the oil/gas market. I'm in Madrid this week and went out tonight and couldn't find a cool bar to hang out at....it totally blows. But the worst part was trying to adjust to the time change. I woke up at 3am in the morning and couldn't go back to sleep last night...total bummer!

    Oh God no...

    One of my duties in HR is doing the AFLAC bill for my company and having to deal with the local rep who is just an absolute sleazbag. Please tell me that you are not as big of a d-bag as the guy I have to deal with because if you are, I pity you, brother.

    too many hot girls..... and they are all so flirty/nice/looks at me with bambi eyes. i'm a loyal guy who's 100% committed to his gf but i can't help but have one or two dirty thoughts while i'm interacting with them in the office. I don't think about them at all while I'm not in, but once I step into the office it's like a freaking harem. Whoever hires at my place is a huge perv.

    I am a teacher. Besides my long commute, the worst thing about my job are the endless, pointless meetings.

    Worst thing about my job: Since I work for a privately owned small business, my actual work is way beyond my job description. Yet, I get paid a low salary.

    Didn't he inform of Employee Direct Billing? You don't have to run it through your internal books anymore!



    Does that prove I'm not like that guy?


    (That's also why I'm doing the senior/Medicare market as well.)

    I work at Starbucks.
    Easy job, it just gets frustrating when people want to get all complicated with their drinks.

    "2 pump hazelnut, 3 vanilla, 1 cinnamon dolce, extra hot at 175 degrees, soymilk latte with 4 shots espresso."

    Yea, he does tell them that...eventually. The guy is the classic stereotype example of a snake oil salesman. I think he only goes that route if he really has to because apparently he gets a much fatter commission if he is able to sign them up to do it as direct deposit. I just know I ran our poor payroll lady through the ringer with catch-ups and refunds due to his incompetent ass.

    I'm a Control Systems Engineer and the worst thing about my job currently is the constant stress worrying about what project is going to get the axe next...and if it will be the one I'm on. Otherwise a pretty good gig.

    right now, nothing. i was promoted back in september, but finally moved to my new position monday. phone hasn't been installed in my office, so there is nothing to complain about right now, except that my fiancee hasn't come up here to help properly break-in the new office. ;)
