Post by: Shadow Mod on October 23, 2014, 02:15:45 AM: Anything involving banking, especially if you're involved in the repossession of homes.

Also Social Services. Dealing with people who can't even get their shit together or be decent to their children would probably kill all of your soul in a week.

Totally respect the guys who do it, but when they say "Man, I could never work in an office" it's like they're speaking Esperanto. I'm like, bitch I have air conditioning. What.

Bruh. Night shift. I wake up when I want anywhere from 4 to 6pm. I go into work at 11:30 and basically sit and watch Netflix for 9 hours then go home and go to sleep. I'm in fucking heaven right now.

Was at a semi mixer/info session and had a good dialog going on with a dude before realizing I didn't know his actual position. Going with a blunt "who are you again" mid convo was not my smartest use of dialog.

Crossing one program off my list

What ever lame job this is that you wouldn't get it based only on a small loss of face like that. Business asshats :piss2

It was kind of a bummer back in 2008 when I realized that my first post-college job, manager of a cell-phone store, wasn't opening many doors, even though I increased our sales by over 50% after getting the manager position.

I later realized that every store on every street in the country has a manager, and Citibank or AT&T probably aren't sending recruiters in there to find people for their Leadership Development Programs :fbm

What did you segue into?

Unless you are like the president or a secret agent, your job is probably boring as shit. One of my least favorite things in the world is to hear 99.9% of people talk about the minutiae of their daily job.

That being said some rare people are naturally entertaining and can make it funny.

Post by: bluemax on October 24, 2014, 11:13:05 PM: Software engineer for a company of more than 100 people.

My current employer is right around 100 and we do contract work for mega corps and it drives me nuts. I can't even imagine dealing with daily bureacracy at a large company.

Actually any job that has bureauacracy. I worked for my University during undergrad and while I made more money than most student workers it was a lot of red tape and politics.
