A new car will never make you as happy as having an enjoyable job... NEVER.

i absolutely love the company i work for.


i could imagine being there a while.

we get free sodas and food, wear whatever you want, come in at like 10-11am some time is flexible, good health care, amazingly its a huge company, and very good wages. plus i get to write programs and work with a lot of interesting people that are actually my age.

and i get dual 2001fps and 4 computers and an aeron chair. cant really beat it. i've heard of people taking pay cuts to come back. its a nice place to be.

I've got a job with zero possibility of firing or lay off. Guarunteed 50% pension. Came on a a very decent salary for this type of job. Get to go to class on improve skills on a regular basis. Work in IT. I am very fortunate and thankul, but I really hate my job because its in IT and working around computers all day is just not where it is at.
