What do you do and where?

[Yegolev]

Microsoft?

No, they are on NASDAQ, we are NYSE.  However, we are both in the Dow 30.

[Raging Turtle]

Update!  Since I left Korea a while ago...

I'm currently a sailing instructor for one of the largest collegiate sailing clubs in the country (U. of Wisconsin - Madison).  I'll be spending the summer and possibly the fall outside in gorgeous weather teaching college girls in swimsuits how to sail and windsurf, and since I'm only 24, this isn't creepy.  I've wanted this job for a while; I'm not sure there's anything I'd rather be doing in Madison for the summer.

I also recently spent about three weeks in Cambodia and Vietnam; if anyone is interested I can post some pics from that in a seperate thread. 

Drink of choice:  White Russian

Plskthx. I am a sucker for vacation photos. Odd, since I never take any when I go anywhere.

I agree. I've never seen real pictures from a Holiday in Cambodia. Hell, I've never even had the chance to say that. Also, good pick of drink.

[Signe]

It's definitely a young 'uns drink.

It's tough kid, but it's life.

... Holiday in Cambodia...

Fuck that had been bothering the shit out of me.  I finally remembered where that was from

"Dead Kennedys Holiday In Cambodia lyrics"

So you been to school for a year or two
And you know you've seen it all
In daddy's car thinkin' you'll go far
Back east your type don't crawl
Play ethnicky jazz to parade your snazz
On your five grand stereo
Braggin that you know how the niggers feel cold
And the slums got so much soul

It's time to taste what you most fear
Right Guard will not help you here
Brace yourself, my dear

It's a holiday in Cambodia
It's tough kid, but it's life
It's a holiday in Cambodia
Don't forget to pack a wife

Your a star-belly sneech you suck like a leech
You want everyone to act like you
Kiss ass while you bitch so you can get rich
But your boss gets richer on you
Well you'll work harder with a gun in your back
For a bowl of rice a day
Slave for soldiers til you starve
Then your head skewered on a stake
Now you can go where people are one
Now you can go where they get things done
What you need my son:

Is a holiday in Cambodia
Where people dress in black
A holiday in Cambodia
Where you'll kiss ass or crack

Pol Pot, Pol Pot, Pol Pot, Pol Pot [etc.]

And it's a holiday in Cambodia
Where you'll do what you're told
A holiday in Cambodia
Where the slums got so much soul

I Fought the Law (and I Won)
Drinkin' beer in the hot sun
I fought the law and I won

I needed sex and I got mine
I fought the law and I won

The law don't mean shit if you've got the right friends
That's how the country's run
Twinkies are the best friend I've ever had
I fought the law
And I won

I blew George & Harvey's brains out with my six-gun
I fought the law and I won

Gonna write my book and make a million
I fought the law and I won

I'm the new folk hero of the Ku Klux Klan
My cop friends think that's fine
You can get away with murder if you've got a badge
I fought the law
And I won
I am the law
So I won

Also, I leave my Jorb this week and start the new one at Honeywell on Monday.  I probably won't be around as much.

Good luck at the new job. MAKE TIME. Keke ^_^;

[Murgos]

Three days in and I have yet to do anything remotely resembling work.  Well except for staying awake at a couple of the meetings.

The commute is wearing me out though, I think I'm going to have to move.

Commuting is the devil. I prefer walking to my office. Fortunately it's only about 2 miles away.

Yoru has no sense of walking distance. Never ever ever listen to him. EVER.

You're just bitter because we walked a mile through wackyland to get to EFocus.

[Trippy]

Unstickied temporarily. I don't like lots of stickies at the tops of forums.

[Signe]

Then how will new people see it and give us the dirt on their private lives?   Or are we closed for new business?

[Trippy]

Once we get the vast majority of the site bugs squashed and people know to change their passwords (hint hint) I'll resticky it.

[Signe]

It'll get buried and you'll forget and we'll end up having to start a whole new invasion of privacy thread.  God, the work involved.  I don't do anything at all and I'm already tired.

[Ozzu]

Sticky or no sticky, I'll unlurk and spill the beans on my personal life:

I'm a Public Safety Telecommunicator (911 Dispatcher) in a suburb of Dallas, TX.
My favorite drink is probably Coke Zero. If you're looking for one of the alcoholic variety, I tend to lean toward Amaretto Sour or some pussy domestic beer.

Exciting.  :-D

Miller light is not pussy.

Maybe the beer isn't....

Probably but that's why I have you to remind me.

[Signe]

Oh, the pressure

[voodoolily]

wtf happen to this thread?

I still love my job, if you haven't noticed my absence. I get to go out and play a lot, which affords me time to get a workout and a tan while getting paid. I've been losing weight without even trying, and aside from being away from home a lot (teh suxxors), it's been a fun adventure. And I do have my DS to keep me warm at night.

[Murgos]

And I do have my DS to keep me warm at night.

I didn't know they vibrate...

[Strazos]

Crank up the sound.

[WayAbvPar]

That would wake up Sauced.

[Sauced]

I imagine all the pink rhinestones she blinged her DS out with would make that awfully uncomfortable, but you never know I guess.

Hey, I never posted in this thread.

I'm 30 going on 31.  I'm a Senior Software Engineer (like the Janitor is the Senior Sanitation Engineer), currently working for a company that makes state healthcare software for medicaid eligibility processing.  Our integrated build system provides me with plenty of time to read this board and fantasize about the day a big game studio opens in Portland.

Favorite drink depends on if I'm driving.  If not, Manhattans.  If so, Vodka Tonics.

[Lantyssa]

Texture improves the feel as long as the motion isn't too severe.

[Strazos]

That would wake up Sauced.

Um...Play Rez muted, with the...thing that comes with the game?

[Signe]

Texture improves the feel as long as the motion isn't too severe.

True enough, but I don't know about rhinestones.  They're rather sharp and maybe a bit too pointy, no?  I suppose rounded ones like this would be okay:



Isn't that pretty?  Someone should write a review!  (NOT ME)

[Pococurante]

Looking again.  And the old mantra, "never get a job in Houston", has a new corolllary: "Don't hire on under young men you used to mentor".

[Yegolev]

There is an opening for a six-month contract at my corp in The ATL, if you are into that.  And know a lot about AIX.

[Margalis]

I totally missed Raging Turtle's post above.

At what age does that start becoming creepy? Because I'm dying for that job.

College girls in swimsuits. Overweight 100% male engineering staff. Tough choice.

College girls are 18. That never gets creepy.

Certainly not if it puts the lotion on the skin like asked.
