It's more like : Me "click ok" cmr: "click ok?" me: "yes, click ok" cmr: "it's gone now" me: "Is the pc restarting?" cmr: "no, I clicked on cancle. That's what you wanted me to do right?" |

Go for commodities. You can make an absolute killing by all accounts... |
||||||||

By commodities, you mean stocks and shares? If so that's not really me. I want to go and meet people in the flesh. |

It's similar, but it's actually buying quantites of things like corn, oil, etc. you would probably be dealing with people over the phone as opposed to "in the pit" like stocks/options traders. One of the advantages is that as you are buying on behalf of clients (with their money) and you just get a percentage of the sales, it's pretty secure compared to stock trading. I hear there's less auditing too, so a bit less stressful in that respect... |

sounds as if you would be fucking some poor 3rd world producer int he ass somehow. I think I would prefer to source and trade 'commodities' with small scale producers. |

christ i'm so business-illiterate .... its scarey Commodities, stocks, shares, mortgages, APS, tax ... all that shit totally freaks me out. wheni get my wages i know one thing..... the figure at the end is what goes into my bank which is where money is..... when i'm programming i haven't a clue what the hell the code is doing in real life. All i see is data spinning around and stock gets shifted from A to B. I'm such a lazy dreamer. I should be just painting or something... |

Well, not directly. You'd be buying from one company and selling to another- not the "little man" like small farms/workers. Keys: Some companies operate internet use monitoring based on volume of data sent (as opposed to say, number of pages loaded). Two reasons: 1) Bandwidth has a measureable cost 2) High bandwidth stuff tends to be the things you shouldn't be doing in work- DLing warez, porn, videos, MP3s, etc. and which look very bad for the company iamge if you get caught. The actual amount of time a user spends online is quite hard to monitor. For example, say you have a word document (work) open on one half of the screen and a MB open on the other half. It's hard to calculate what percentage of time you're spending reading each one. As a result, the people who make big DLs are the ones who get caught. I was comparatively low down the list of staff in terms of internet used, purely because I didn't DL any big files (maybe an average of 1 mp3 per week), just largely text based sites like this. One of my mates was always being warned about his internet useage, even though he only spent about 10-20 mins of company time online, as he would DL at least one movie/game trailers or game demos per day. |

Yes, this is me exactly. But I've quit my job I've had for 4 years at the software company and am about to start this dreadful cycle at a new place of employment in 2 weeks. BUT, in the time I've had off over the last few days I've accomplished more than I have in the past 12 months (no shit). You should see my closet. Fuggin immaculate~ Also im almost done veiwing, evaluating, labeling, and storing all my blank vhs tapes... huge undertaking! so the moral of the story is, if you want to be productive, quit your job. (also, get up at 6 or 7 instead of sleeping in, this makes abig difference) |

"Also im almost done veiwing, evaluating, labeling, and storing all my blank vhs tapes" haha, im exactly the same with that...i've got like 300 tapes without any titles...i could really use a hand with that :) |

It's an amazing feeling having this done. Also I'm finding many rare items, and things I thought I had lost or recorded over... Phase 2 will be archiving all worthy material to dvd. PS: Im sure everyone is on your ass about this, but its just not the same without the dog or the monkey :( |

Do you work at a movie store? |

No, I work for the University here. I have my own office. |
||||||||

|
|
What is your title.. and what University is it? |
||||||||

I remember the days when I had my own office... It even had a blind I could pull down over the door. Those were the days... whilst everyone hates cubicles (and worse still, open plan offices) you can see why business has adopted them, it's a massive boost to productivity. |

i'll sort those tapes one day...hopefully. but i will never have the patience to put that on dvd's. it's been a while since i last time used that monkey avatar..hmm.. |

I say bring back the thoughtful monkey. |

Yeah, I spent most of my free time at work surfing video game message boards. Not THIS one... you guys are too unpredictable. I had to stay on a board where swearing is outlawed. Now I don't have a job and, lo and behold, I'm a happier person. |
