I make de vidjo games. Lately I'm directing audio, though I want to get back to art.
Lyte, what is a "service desk"? Do people ask to be serviced?
Tithe collector for the Dark Lord.
I recently got a project greenlit to direct a sitcom about Voldemort's high school years.

Service Desk = Help Desk.
I'm a tier 1 tech support monkey...so basically I get lawyers and their secretaries in various moods calling up because they don't know how to use their computers/phones/whatever. The amount of people who call in with issues that can fixed simply by restarting an application or their computers is just staggering. Some of the things people ask about are so mind-numbingly simple and/or lacking in common sense to the point where I am stunned they are even asking. :lol
At least a good number of the people who call are nice and courteous.

People who call seeking assistance should always be courteous. In the rare cases where it turns out not to be true, I'm surprised when someone who wants my help fails to realize that.
I used to do the same exact job for employees at California AAA. They were all idiots. And they all had a surprising amount of porn on their computers with, "No idea how that got there..." :lol
"Have you tried turning it off and on again?"
Do you watch the IT Crowd lyte? It's so awesome. :bow ROY :bow2

:lol Yeah, I've been feeling that I've been in Japan too long myself, lately. :-\People who call seeking assistance should always be courteous. In the rare cases where it turns out not to be true, I'm surprised when someone who wants my help fails to realize that.I think maybe you've been in Japan too long! :lol The rude people tend to have the attitude that "they" are paying us to be their little monkeys, so they can treat us however. It's not just yelling, but putting you on hold without saying anything, taking control of the computer back to start doing something while you are trying to fix their problem, hanging up without saying a word, etc. Then there's requests for us to do all this work and update/install shit so they can watch some dumb video their buddy sent them, or get access to some non work-related website.
I now work at GameStop and play WoW after escaping getting shit all over every day at my previous company where I worked IT.
Gamestop a decent place to work? I've heard it's not hard to be promoted
I've worked a lot of shitty jobs and gamestop isn't even near the bottom.

4. Pizza Hut - Shit job. Maintained the back area: sprayed pizza pans, did dishes, made the pizza, made the wings, just about everything. Sucked shit. Quit this job.WHAAAA? man, that sucks for you. Pizza Hut was an awesome fucking job. Did you deliver? Maybe that's why it was fun for me. I did deliveries than became a manager.
6. Grocery Store - Worst job I've ever had. Horrible hours, horrible pay, made me grouchy. Hired me in the midst of a strike, so while they assured us that we're not temp help, we actually were. I'd be lucky if I had 2 hours of work at that place a week. I was fired, but I should have quit anyways. Shit job. As for the job itself, I'd push carts and bag groceries.ohhhh yeah. this was during the NICE TITS time. good times man

Only ever had 6 jobs.
Worked in tobacco for my pops.
Carried a sign for Little Caesars.
Worked at Wal-mart.
Worked at my college's computer lab.
Worked at the porn store.
Current job that I don't wanna talk about very much, but is crazier than all the rest put together.

2) Retail work. Shit job mopping up after people who like to shit everywhere except in the toilet. Seeing people try to steal merchandise and dump the containers in a corner that wasn't tracked by a video camera. Working with people who preferred to start cleaning and straightening their shit up five minutes before closing. The upside was that I made a few friends there and was in good with the managers there, allowing me to get away with more shit than people usually did...except in the end where the HR person was sexually harassing me. Once I turned down her advances, they cut my hours back to two days a week working in a hot back room sorting fixtures. Oh well, it wasn't a huge deal considering I was going away to university. At the time, it sucked because I was hoping to save some money up. Left to go to the university.That is probably the most inappropriate phrase I've seen in weeks. And I have even been reading Nintendosbooger's "Let me define your ethnic identity" thread.

you can't do this to us son
19) Province of Manitoba, mental health worker: got to work with murderers and prostitutes. perhaps second-worst clientele i ever dealt with apart from IGN readers
Jobs - i'm going to have to include placements as well as it's a bit short
1) Supermarket - tidying, painting, moving trolleys. Cash to get me through my teens
2) HS Placement at Nuclear power plant - Environmental labs - though asked for IT :/. First task was to cut up fish and take radiation readings. I'm shit scared of fish. Fail. Spent rest of week putting bits of chimney filters into geiger readers.
3) HS Placement at Nuclear power plant - Chemical lab - though asked for IT :/. Grossest job i've ever had to do. Putting peoples pish samples through a chemical process to detect for abnormalities. Place stank of piss - not surprisingly
4) HS Placement at Nuclear power plant - IT ! WOAH, third time is a charm. In a hilarious mix up i was screamed at by some crazy employee who thought i was from BT and there to fix her phone line. NOt knowning what was going on i actually attempted to fix the line. Was funny i guess once the truth was revealed.
5) Chemical plant IT Uni placement - very weird, told i would NEVER be a computer programmer and that i should look into something else. Was pretty much an awful job and i was completely demotivated and was getting sh1t on a daily basis (sometimes for projects i had nothing to do with - scapegoated total). I managed to poison a few of the employees though who left to go contracting.
6) MCPS Music Copyright - first job out of uni. I interviewed at a few places and had offers, but this one was perfect. Second love at the time was music and the job was perfect. I had to sit a 5 hour exam as part of the interview process which was a bit harsh. Amazing job - so much fun with great people and near zero stress. Promoted almost every year, made senior developer by 23. asked in interview what i was looking for pay wise - they went 3 grand over what i was looking for. Hell, i joined as a junior coder and after three weeks i was taken into the managers office who basically said "it's clear you aren't a junior coder, so we are making you a full coder - - here have another 4 grand. +O O:O Why i ever left this job is a complete mystery to me. I never wanted to be off even when sick as it was an absolute riot every single day - hell, and my working hours were 7 until 3!!!! ffs.
7) Finance industry IT - one day i hate it, the next day i love it - the great thing is that it is never the same - the job changes on a weekly basis which keeps things fresh. Most IT last about 3 years, i am now in my 11th.... either redundacy or glory lie ahead! lol
8)XFE-gave up on my troops and abdicated the throne after 4 years :fbm
