I can't stand working for anyone anymore. I've had 3 new jobs last week alone, thanks to the goddam employment agency bitches who just push you into any job just so they can make their money.

Then I get there the fuckin jerk boss says "do this quick, I aint paying you to stand around", so I do it and he comes back and says good job, now here's some more, and then 1/2 hour before quitting time he says he made a mistake can you undo all the stuff you moved over there during the past 6 hours?

beer, sex, drugs, nothing is making it bareable anymore.

did you see that movie "fight club" I'm starting to think that's the only way to make the world right, blue collar workers rebelling against the haves.

Out of curiousity, are DetNetters typically a blue-collar crowd?

You may want to rethink statements like that posted on a primarily techie site.

I think its more of a clensing of the genepool that is needed than anything else.

If you ask me all the gene pool needs is a little chlorine.

I'm not blue collar, I techie. I was talking about moving files, not boxes.
And anyway I have another job.
Sys admin at amazon.com. That should last a few weeks.

Why get a lifeguard... when you've got a Wolfguard™?

I think the problem is we have too many life guards for the gene pool and not enough Wolfguard™.

What you need are some certs. No, not the kind you carry around wit you to make you breath smell better ...I'm talking like some Microsofts certification or A+ or something. To become a Microsoft Certified Profesional (should help you land a sales/repair job with ease) you only need to take one easy test and pay 100 bucks. (ask your mom for the hundred, I've been tipping her well) Then Microsoft sends you a certificate, a card, and some logos to put on your resume. Once you find out how easy it is you may want to take 5 more tests and get your MCSE. My MCSE cost me $600 bucks and the first job I landed after getting it grossed me 60k/year ...not a bad return.

kinda strapped for cash at the moment... but that sounds like a good idea.

i've been thinking along the lines of someday opening my own computer sales/repair/upgrades service, but im thinking id need to put up a considerable chunk of change to get this off the ground. I'd have to maintain my own inventory of parts, equipment, etc. I haven't even tried crunching numbers to see what the initial investment would be, cause at the mometn, i wouldn't even have enough $$ to put an ad in the yellow pages.

Computer repair for the masses is a dream of mine.... I'd like to offer the kind of honest, reliable service that is kind of hard to find these days. (i'vs seen people get burned a bunch of times, and have gotten burned myself once by dishonest dealers.)
