Dearm Job: A Vet or an artist
I do not have no job :)) . But I will get one sometime :))
so if your a student what do you study. (cos im new i know nothing bout noone)
I study over at RBC, currently JAVA programming.. Which is junk... cus the teacher also teaches music Appreciation... and he keeps trying to scare us to drop the class...out of 16 people in the beginning, 8 has already left.
Man, that sucks! I'll give you some pointers though. On my first project, I got a 98%, and I scored like a 99% on the written test. Tomorrow, I've got Project 2 due, along with another test. *grumbles* :figures:
On the first test, the grade range was from 28%-84%
the 4 highest grades in the class were students who took the class the previous semster and failed the class. So their forcibly taking it again to improve their grade. While i'm taking this for the first time, so out of the other 4 people who aren't taking the class a second time. I got the highest grade of 67 some...
wow! Those are pretty low scores. Is there anything I can help you with?
Right now.. we actually started the java learning.. before ti was the binary learning and the rules of method and class... and the responsibiliteies of the OS... etc...
GEEZ We didn's *start* to touch that stuff until we hit Strings (a couple weeks ago) Is this guy teaching Java, or fundementals of computers? :omg:
first it was the basics of fundamentals. before you can do a program or do a project, you have to understand the means you are doing it.
Well, we are now starting the java learning path, but we jsut started learning doubles or shoudl already comprend doubles.. i have no idea what a double is... >.<
Current Job: Software Architect / Systems Engineering.
Like about the current job: I get to design from the ground up full featured products like a homeautomation system, a mini GIS system, a cable design tool, etc. And have a small team that I get to run to work on my project (granted I still get to do a majority of the programming as well)
Dream Job: What I'm doing for the most part.
a double is a numerical storage type that usually has 15+ (depends on the language) places of precision. While a single (or float as it's called in java, C, and C#) has 7 places of precision. But a double takes twice as much memory to hold as the single, and can take twice as much processing time to do an equivilent operation (+-/*) on it.
ive done visual basic but i never knew programming was this complicated... i thought a double just held a different type of numeric range to an integer... :-[ but i dont know...
Work full time
Well...um current job is Assistant Scoutmaster (no pay :( )
And also student teacher (still no pay :( )
And full time student in college (negative pay :'( )
Plan to be a Music teacher in the future...im really good with instrumental music...ive been taking music classes for 9 years and i enjoy it. The college hates me because they cant let me skip a clss i took in high school. The student teaching thing happened by chance. I only in my first semester of college, so i shouldnt be anywhere near ready to start my student teaching, but i doing it anyways...
I don't really have a job. O.o
I currently am employed by a company that cleans, repairs and sells various medical equipment( Autoclaves, Microscopes, centrifuges, etc...)
I would like (just like everyone else) to be something in the vicinity of a software engineer.
Right now I'm working 3 jobs... Sort of... LOL I'm a Computer Parts Purchaser, A full Time Mommy, & I'm an Independant Business Owner (If you want more info on that one, send me a private message.) :)
Well i've swapped job now now sure if i told anyone that?

Dream Job: Forensic Scientist
What you like about your dream job: To help solve crimes by using physical science
you watch too much CSI.. btw CSI season 5 just came out on dvd this tuesday..
hey CSI is an awesome show (at least the vegas ones are, the miami ones are getting better, ny is ok and ncis(?sp) is...um interesting) forensics is an awesome job if you can handle dealing with all the body smells and dead things. personally, id not have to deal with that stuff (yuck) but i wouldnt mind doing the test experiments to run senarios.
I prefer the original crew thats why the original seires season 5 just came out on dvd and it's running on season 6..
csi is awesome yet way to sanitised
they never wear any PROPER clothes on a crime scene, and the foresnsic woman in miami wears the most basic thing in the world
they allways go hey! to each other, and the blond haired gal in miami has the squeakiest voice in the world...
lol...very true...i always wondered why they neer wore appropriate clothing in the show...then i remembered--"TV Popularity=Income.
but for its weight in gold..... it is an awesome series and it does keep u on the edge of ur chair
not really.. it's not really suspenseful.. cus all the action has already happened.... their just trying to figure out how it was done... now the episode where a CSI member was held hostage underground in a garden field with deadly ants eating the flesh off his arm while he was being broadcasted via interweb through a webcam....
Now that was suspenseful....
i'd have to agree with you that that was the best episode(s) (i think it was 2 or 3 long?) But the whole series does seem to have some strange drawing effect on people. It's easy to get hooked.
I work to much

this is a bit way off of topic but you should have waited and picked up the Canon A700, if you wanted to stay within the canon family. Image Stablization (Optical of course), and 6x Optical Zoom Range. Nice pick me up from the A620
Yeah, I'd say that was a bit off topic! :))
I am doing lawn work.
i tink this thredad is more designed for like job wise and hobbies not like right now but whatever..
Shido, I can barely understand what you are saying.
Could you said it agian, but clearer.
I was slightly tired when I had stated that statement. But I had ment that this thread is more geared to what people are doing job wise currently versus what people are doing like in the current moment of their life like "eating a bowl of cereal" or "watching tv" it's more designed to be responded by statements answered like "going to college to become an art major" or something more tangible and life-long.
Work to much. Also put in to many hours
i work at a welding and machine shop when i dont have school...in the summer i am a camp councilor...that is why ive been away the past 2 months
worked 13 hrs today
yuck...well...then again i was working about 16 hours every day at camp this summer...
Quote from: Zionia on 16-Aug-2006 (Wed) @ 20:06:35yuck...well...then again i was working about 16 hours every day at camp this summer...
you work long hrs like me.
I work at a warehouse in a tool store. I do heavy lifting and forklift work.

Um 16 hours a work day is kinda illegal (unless it is your own free will).
He said at a summer camp. That would mean he was there 24hrs. a day.
i can fairly say that my job is one of the easier ones although i'm looking at a shitty promotion... to somewhere i didn't apply to be or do.. being in charge of making sure money and stuff is right and being in charge of returns and exchanges... argh
me ..
i'm a line prouduction lead at a coke cola plant.
gads with all the summer buisness on poweraide and so ,uuugh ,working 13 day shifts,at least 12 to umm 14 hours...
plus we also copack arizona teas.hehehe.
i'mm tires as we have been only getting 2 days a month off for like 5 months.. :woot:
but it pays for the umm ,stuff,lol.butman i work at least 1,200 hours of ot each year... thank god may first week of vacation isnt to far away ,heheh going deer hunting and camping..
for those labor intensive work conditions, the pay and benefits must be really good to compensate for all of that labor..
I'm staying home for the rest of the summer (not long till school now, I'm a senior). I've so far spent a week at scout camp, 11 days canoeing in Canada, and about two weeks in Alaska fishing.
I've just been laterally promoted across the carpet. Now i'm a PCHO associate, which NOW i just realized what it stands for, PC = Computers, HO = Home Office FTW!
I'll be selling computers and what not and be working in the biggest department money wise in the store..
awesome shido...congratz :woot:
not really much of a congratulations. As I watch my old department go down the drain as it is not being kept up with merch standards. It's getting quite interesting as it's right now under unadvised management. That supervisor has no idea about anything involving the three new departments she has just gained access to. So when she works there, she's pretty much a Nub. It's funny!
Cute Asian Girl + Glasses = Super Intelligence? NOT true stereotype. Apparently she might be an execption. Lol
lmao...hmm...that is quite a perdicament...hope the whole thing doesnt go down the drain...
The week after i leave, my former co-worker gets the award for associate of the month. Which is a major kick in the nuts as he didn't do nothing and he got credit for all that work to which I was pursuing..did i mention retail sucks?
hence the reason i will never involve myself with any form of sales ever should i be able to avoid it...
it was quite funny on sunday, the Home Theater department had over 5 TV packages returned.. 2 of those tvs were the exact same one by two different customers... which was of value about 13k.
2day there was a TV return was bought by a dude, the tv was a Westinghouse tv, which is mid range tv. Anyways, the TV owner had a comcast guy set up the TV hook up because the guy thought it would be simple enough and the comcast guy said it was free. Well, the comcast guy told him the tv wasn't that great and so the guy trusted the comcast guy and returned the tv and went ot Circuit City..... All because his cable guy told him so...
lol...that is stupid...another reason i wont do sales...i cant stand dealing with stupid ppl like that
You konw whats really retarded, the person who makes the prices on our computer packages... A Emachine desktop can run from like 300-600 dollars, but lets go with one model and say the price is like 374.99 for the tower alone. BUT! if you get the CRT monitor and a Canon Printer go with it, the package price would be about 299.99
How much sense does that make?
Also, thats how we beat Circuit City,
A) Customer Service
- I hear at least from 3 different customers everyday about how no one would help them out over at Circuit City. Like there's no CC employee in that department or one will walk by you and just not even say a word. Not even a excuse me as they zip past you... It's like their understaffed, while over my place. We're sometimes understaffed, but then we pool together and make sure that everyone's Contacted and received some degree of help that they want. Hell, when I'm swamped, i'm bouncing like 3 sets of customers. Usually, I'll tell them to please be patient and then they will say, "Just 1 question and thats it." which usually turns into 20 questions.. Then i'll get a call on the phone which has a old lady on it, wanting me to compare two desktops of how they are different. when I'm currently swamped, so I tell her we're really busy and she has to come in and we can help her... Then things get out of hand and the whole world explodes... Lol
B) Instant Rebates, Not MIRs which take 8-12 weeks if you are even able to get redeemed.
- These instant Rebates are like Minimum on a Tower desktop (package ones) is from anywhere 40 dollars off - 300 dollars off
- On Laptops, the smalllest instant rebate that I've seen is like 150 dollars off, while the highest i've seen islike 380 dollars off.. Which is crazy, and btw did i tell you thats cheaper than employee cost!!
- On average, we lost 74 dollars on every desktop and laptop sold, but as you can see it fluctuates..
C) We're not afraid to take all of your money! {Just a harmless joke}
- It drives me nuts when people think you are after the money :crazy: , even after you tell them your on non-commision and their just to make sure they get everything they "NEED" but in reality, we are going after their money :-O ... just so we can make sure we're not in the negative.. :figures:
