Who's running the best racket (at work) here at CAG?

[quote name='mtxbass1']I sit on the couch with my laptop and write whatever program I need to write, all whilest watching my 360 on the projector. This works very well for Texas Holdem.[/quote]
:lol: Your productivity must be mind-blowing. Not that I wouldn't do the same.
 
i'm a contender for best racket at work.

i work 12 hour night shifts (8pm-8am) thats the biggest downside.

on the upside:
of the 12 hours i'm there i only have about 1 1/2- 2 hours of actual work. (and its broken up so i never have to do more than 20 minutes of work at a time.)

im there all by myself so i can do pretty much whatever i want -watch tv/movies, play video games, nap, surf the internet, read, wife used to come visit me and we'd have sex.

i make decent money (around 16.50/hr)

got pretty good insurance. plus retirement and thaty stuff

I get shit done and I hear no complaints. You'd be suprised how well you can multitask if you try.

Yea, those Java devs r 1337
 
You know you've been at the same job too long when...

all the cool people have quit, reloacted or been laid off.
all the lame-os are still there bugging you like always.
your office is now a cube -- make that half a cube.
you find yourself doing the same ol' sh*t like the month before.
no raises for years.
no new equipment to play with.
your 5 years turns to 10 years and now is approaching 15...

Man, I gotta get outta here. Life is too short for a lame a$$ job.
I didn't mean for this to become a career, but whoops!

Pros: surfing tha web constantly, taking long breaks down the mall, boss is mostly hands off, good $$, vacation and sick time.

Hey Colty, you know me?
 
[quote name='Tiphireth']So do you still do drugs after both those incidents?[/quote]

Yes, occasionally. Not much I can do now that I get tested every week, but when the opportunity comes up.. if I don't have to wake up early the next day, I'm usually down to get fux0red.

Here's hoping for a "MD 3 strikes your out" law
 
I'm a delivery boy! Yeah. I run packages between LA and San Diego.

Cons:
-9 hour work day (8 am)
-$7.50 pay (they give like a $0.25 raise every year as a token, bah.)
-no OT until you exceed 40 hours a week (not the standard 8 hours a day).
-makes me sleepy

Pros:
+Paid lunches, naps, breaks whenever I want and in whatever city.
+Driving along beach freeways for 5 hours a day kicks ass
+7 hours of the day I don't deal with customers/bosses/people!!!
+Only tuesday/thursday so it works with school and I get friday nights and weekends to myself
+It's a driving job so it's utterly mindless (both a pro and con depending)
+I can buy auto parts for 30% less than wholesale.
+air conditioned
+Once again, no bosses breathing down your neck.
+Traffic is GOOD. It equals more money lol.

Pretty sweet deal and I really enjoy it!

As mentioned earlier, that law is only applied in the case of felonies. Now, may I ask, why would you want to see me go to jail? Have I done anything to you? Have I offended you in any way? Are there any other possible logical replies? Or are you just a dick?
 
+ Company Car
+ Free Stamps
+ Free UPS
+ Free Office Supplies(Paper Towels, Canned Air, and etc.)

+ As much paid time off I would ever need(via vacation or sick time)
+ Free gas in my own vehicle
+ My boss hooks me up with a nice Bonus 2-3 times a year
+ Have worked there 8 years and have only worked past 4:00 maybe 10 times

- I am the only one there not family
- They take alot of time off through the year
- I make alot but I do not get raises too often
- Since they are all family I will always be on the low end of the totem pole
- Their son who is my counterpart is a "functional retard" who goes into fits of rage if he does not get his way
- I am counted on to do too much, on days they do not feel like working
- If any of our patients become a "problem" they stop dealing with them and for some reason I have to handle them

I work in a specialized healthcare field. I work 72 hr shifts one week, 96 hours the next, basically, 3 on, 3 off, 4 on, 4 off. I have a bed in my office and a hospital provided laptop. Money is excellent, state retirement benefits, and I get to live in a beautiful area. Plus, I can work anywhere in the country/world. Pay is about 100k/yr. I dont really have time to use my vacation/sick, so I cash it out at the end of the year for a nice "Christmas bonus".
