Quick Dispatch From the Field

[aesmael]

First of all, I have spent the past couple of days in training for my new job. It was not the barrel of laughs I was promised (we were promised work would be fun right?) but some of the people there were very interesting. Especially a fellow named George who seems to have been tremendous experience and knowledge (trainee not trainer), so hopefully I will come away with much better knowledge of people and the world. Everything is so fascinating! Still, as much as I believe in the product I don't think I will stay with this job any longer than I must.

 In other news the astronomy progress presentation turned out to be less scary than I expected. All I really needed to do was talk about my progress and what I intended for the finished product. No need for a mini-presentation after all.

What job is it? :O

Work is never fun xD Cuz it's work. Once you get paid to do something, the fun gets sucked right out of it >.>

It's good that you dun need a mini-presentation :) Presentations are scary :O

It's not always fun, but I rather enjoy my job at times! :D

I'm going door-to-door trying to convince people to switch to renewable energy. Good cause but the pay and hours are lousy - plus they want me as an independant contractor so they don't have to look after my tax or any other benefits.

What is it you do if you don't mind me asking?

I don't mind at all. My title is LAN Administrator, although I do almost anything computer related I am needed for, from repairs to upgrades, some programming, software installation, and maintaining our web pages.

In anticipation of the next question: I work in the chemistry department at the University of Houston. I like the low stress levels found in academia.
