sounds more like you work at shitty places, you need to find a better job
Yep. Went into college being promised 50K/year, then was lucky to get a shitty job paying less than minimum wage & they didn't report my wages while they were at it too.
About a year ago, I quickly realized that I've been out of school & wasted so much time looking for a career, that I've lost any & all interest or passion for the profession altogether.
I was waiting for a day that piqued my interest all over again, but it hasn't happened.

sore muscles nef :(

worst move ever yesterday... my friend totally lied about how much stuff he had to move (I was under the impression that it was just his plasma tv and that he'd already moved everything else by himself... nope, it was the tv and a mountain of boxes of books/dvds)

icing on the cake: the fucker didn't even buy me pizza/beer to thank me for helping him. we went out for lunch and a drink after the move, but only because I suggested it and he made no move to pay for my half as a thanks.

9 page review of a piece of hardware that doesn't use a single image other than the stock images from the manufacturer's website... so much fail.

whoever is sitting at their desk watching South Park in my office really needs to learn to buy headphones if you're going to fuck around on the job.

I hate people who have their sounds on their devices around me. Like people who have their sound on their iphone while playing games in public

Would waste an hour trying to figure out where 1 screw in a laptop went, and not figure it out. Then be chewed out by the boss about it.
It's not falling apart, is it?

I accidentally outright broke an iPod touch when I was supposed to simply replace a screen. After I've already done the exact same thing 4 or 5 times before without issue.
Not only did I get chewed out by the boss for a half hour, but I also had to get chewed out by the customer.

You're responsible for it. I don't see anything wrong with you getting chewed out over breaking a customer's equipment.
