    IS MINE!!!

    I HATE IT!!!!

    THE WORK IS GAY!!!

    A date change here, a form made there, here-a-change, there-a-change, everwhere-a-change-change...oh' poor magnus had a job, and-it's-f**k-ing-gay!

    Most of the clients, being small-town are computer and design illiterate. Leaving me to trouble shoot ALL the time. But to make it worse, my boss is in the same boat...leaving me to babysit him in all matters digital ALL the time.

    Boss treats the employees as company assets, not employees...no leadership ability at all. He's concerned about his own pockets...period.

    Upgrading to OS X was ok...Quark 6 has been iffy...the xerox ppd's don't seem to work so great with it, especially on older machines like our DC 490 black and white printer. So I get problems ALL the time.

    Our image setter has issues with either Quark 6 or OS X, or both...30% of the jobs I send get screwed up for no reason.

    I see problems like mine all over the board, for various reasons. Most of the time the reasons are so numerous and different that nothing can get done about them.

    My solution?

    Freelance on the side and become an apprentice electrician. I think i've had enough of geting paid not-so-great for doing something I've come to detest. I'd rather get paid double what I am now, to do something somewhat decent, and do freelance on the side that I enjoy.

    GAY!!!

        No, I think I'm leaving this field. I'm going to do the electrician route.

            What I'll have to do is find a company that will sponsor me. From there, it's mostly OJT, but there are 3 phases of schooling for about 10 weeks each or so, that you collect unemployment during. Then it's 9000 hours and you get your certification.

              well this is the time to do it. when you don't have a family, etc. I can't say I blame you for wanting to try something different.

                Yeah...that's the thing. I'm not waiting another 5 years or so to be making good money, nor is the job market in this area have much to offer. I need to be making better coin now...If I have to put a year or two into being an apprentice electrician, so be it, but it'll be worth it more in the end.

                  good for you mag, way to get outta something your not happy with, as long as you still kick it on the GDF!!!

                  my rants:

                  Can you show me how to attach something in outlook?

                  How do I access my ftp site?

                  That pdf file should print fine, what do you mean your missing text and images?

                  Here is my website, if you could please use the images that are supplied on their that would be great.

                  Email sent: Your a great friend, can I be your friend, here I signed you up for a FREE tv, I know its cool huh, I didnt know you could get FREE stuff on the net, I signed up everyone in the office, I should be getting my FREE tv in a couple weeks, you should join up and sign all your friends up so you can get a FREE tv too (oh wait nevermind, I already signed you up, hence the 50+ spam emails you get a day because I was stupid enough to think some guy named Jim Bob who runs freetvs.com was going to send me a FREE tv for giving him 10 emails that he could easily just hack off the net if he so desperatly needed them) But thats okay, you need those FREE samples of Viagra, and hey im sure im stressing you out so much with my incopetence and stupidity that hey, lookie there, you can get something to make your hair grow back.

                  Women (or working with 6 of them)

                  Cheap, self centered individuals who will step on you and crush you for simply implying that you are worth a little bit more then they are giving you. Reminds me of a certain president.

                  Cats, im sick of em, im doing my buddy a favor and watching his pussies, but they are starting to get on my nerves....this is not a good thing cuz I usually like animals.

                  DJ's who think that just cuz they can mix 2 records together are gods gift to talent and treat every other DJ like pieces of crap and talk trash behind there back, I pancakeing hate em, and one in particular is going to get his skull crushed.

                  People, most of em in general, they all suck (except you gdfers) i did a favor for some guy cuz he was running a gateway computer from like 96' so with his permission (and me charging him only $20) I bought a new badass puter for him, but the new one wouldn't take his win 98 HD, so he had to transfer files, I spent roughly 3 hours upgrading his windows xp service packs and drivers, but yet he still hasnt said thank you, or here have 20 dollars or anything, because in his mind I pancakeed up, when all I was trying to do was help.....so to everyone out there in lala land, pancake you too, you ungrateful pancakeing bastids.

                  Shady people, they are increasing in scary #'s, and its starting to be a very bad thing, when people are getting shot (in the back) for there honda's.

                  Customer Service....what is that.......exactly. Seems in the last 10 years america has succombed to just giving up. Not me, I stand up for things when they are not right, and what happens because of that, my friends make fun of me, tell me im anal. Im not pancakeing anal you dipcraps, if everyone who ever had a problem with something or someone stood up to it, and confronted it head on, this world would not be so pancakeed up, pussies have ruined it. I get bad food at a drive thru, I drive back, demand my money back, and my meal comped. Some people say 'what if they spit in your food' like I give a pancake man, its about quality, you are just a kittykat and because of that they are going to step all over you, they wont care about getting orders right, cuz they can get away with it, hence bringing overall quality down cuz your too much of a kittykat to stand up for yourself.

                  Did I mention Women (the ones i work with, get involved with on a relationship level, hell my mom even) <-------annoy the crap out of me sometimes.

                  People who have a car full of people but refuse to drive in the carpool lane, esp in rush hour traffic.

                  Money, im sick of having to spend it when I don't have it.






                  yup, I think that should hold me for a while.......sorry to jack your thread mag.

                  beeeeeeeeeeeeeeer goooooooooooooood!!

                      Electrician is usually a good transition for the gay, what with working mostly in closets and all, but Welding! Now there's a Man's Job! Sparks flying... Hey electricians can do that too, right?

                      Worked with a really nice electrician on a few jobs, but wasn't gay. [img]/emoticons/icon_exclaim.gif[/img]

                      I'm pretty sure she wasn't...

                      Anyway, we should all get out and leave the industry to the likes of Zartan, eh? It'd be best, really.

                        You know what pisses me off. My employers. THey keep pancakeing around with my raise. I was supposed to get it months ago. The general manager tells me it will be on this paycheck, but it's not there. He doesn't know why. Now I have to wait 2 more weeks. If it doesn't show up this time I'm raising hell times 10. And I want backpay. pancakeing cheepskates.

                        They want me to be the shift manager, but they pancake with my raise. They said 30 days after I started being manager I would get another raise, well, it's been at least 60 days and they still are screwing with that too. I hate 'em.



                        If it weren't for the last minute, nothing would ever get done.

                        Never put off till tomorrow what you can avoid all together.

                                They're plastered all over a forum that is pretty much strictly for graphic designers though. It kinda seems like an inappropriate place to stick them. Just an observation, not a whinge.
