Swoosh Posted November 19, 2003 Share Posted November 19, 2003 I worked at Best Buy once...that was the worst job I have ever had hands down. Instead of being motivated by comissions...they motivate you by yelling at you and telling you that you are worthless if you don't improve their numbers...all so the managers get bonuses. GRRRRR. I refuse to buy anything beyond a CD or DVD there now bcause I know they make hardly any profit on those. But, now I am a full-time student (Chapman University, Film Major, Business Admin/German Minor) and try to do web design for $$$ in my spare time.

Jedi Luke Posted November 19, 2003 Share Posted November 19, 2003 I'm a student in Year 11. After High school i'm hoping to either get into Computer programming by completing a degree in computer law & science, if not IT, then i'm looking to get into something to do with maths or science, nuclear physics would be fun. I dont have a part time job at the moment so in my spare time i either work on radiant and BehavEd making custom sp maps, at my girlfriend's or i'm out at parties getting tanked .

Reaper Girl Posted November 19, 2003 Share Posted November 19, 2003 I'm so boring, I'm a student.... ...or rather, a prisoner, forced to wear an itchy, wool kilt with an equally itchy wool sweater, all while looking fwagafds... I gave up public school for this? yes.... I worked at a library over the summer. It was fun, because during the summer there's hardly any book "traffic". I had to quit when school started because my ddickhead of a boss said I had to work at least three shifts, of which i didn't even get to chose:mad: , during the week. It interferred too much with after school activities (Play rehearsals, Art Club (don't join!), Literary Magazine, stuff stuff stuffff..) I want to be an animator or a grim reaper when i grow up!

Sivy Posted November 19, 2003 Share Posted November 19, 2003 i'm a technician at a I.T training centre. my job involves a lot of sitting and waiting for computers to do things.. for insistence, right now i'm fixing a computer that has a bad cluster in the boot sector of the HDD, which is stopping it from booting up. so i've whipped the drive out and put it as a slave on another computer and now i'm running disk doctor & speed disk (Norton’s version of scandisk & defrag, which for this particular problem is better suited than MS's system tools.) anyway.. the plus side is i get to come here and waste some time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShockV1.89 Posted November 19, 2003 Share Posted November 19, 2003 Oh, I got a raise. I got a 35 cent raise after working there for three months. Everyone was like "Wow, you got the good raise." Later, I was supposed to get a 6 month raise, but the manager forgot. I came to her after 8 months and asked for it, and she says "Since I forgot, I'll give you a 5 cent bonus in your raise." How nice of you. I hated working there..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BawBag™ Posted November 20, 2003 Share Posted November 20, 2003 txa & STTCT - Good on you guy's 'cos parenthood sure is one hell of a task.

BongoBob Posted November 20, 2003 Share Posted November 20, 2003 Right now I'm a full time freshman at Mojave H.S.(Trpr-Undr-Fire will know what I'm talking about) in N. Las Vegas, NV. Next year I am going to apply at ATTC or A-Tech(Once again, Trpr-Undr-Fire will know what I'm talking about) for Computer Technology. If i get the job, I bet I'l be the only one who will know about making it look cool for gaming(aka lighting, water cooling, etc). If I can get that done, I can probably get a job working n computers. At least I'l be a cool nerd Like Siv Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
