Big difference there. I deal with customers who can be extremely aggravating, but I\'ll deal with anything to get those days off. I\'d rather just get all my work done within a few days, instead of doing it over the course of five days.

The worst part about my job is the swing shift. Every six weeks I switch. Right now I work Monday - Wednesday nights, here in a week, I\'ll work Wednesday - Saturday day shift, 7 am - 7pm.

Right now I go back Sunday night, get off at 7:00 am. Will be off Monday for the holiday then I work Tuesday and Wednesday night and then should be off for seven days, come back and work Wednesday - Saturday day shift for the next six weeks.

Life is so repetitive it\'s nuts. I\'m so glad I don\'t go to a 9-5 job any more. Only trade off is I end up working many many more hours now. Ever since I bought a camera and an edit suite I feel like I work about 22 hours a day. It drives me nuts. Nice that I don\'t have to always travel to work now though.

Guess I didn\'t tell you guys I bought a camera. I bought this camera with a 4.5 wide angle lens and the AVC intra card. Man it\'s so nice.

Set me back a tremendous amount of money, but I should have everything paid off by this time next year. Fingers crossed. Then it\'s money in the bank.

I try not to make my life revolve around money but its so hard not to. I\'m unemployed right now looking for a job for the summer. I need it because even though I want to go out and have fun with my friends before I graduate and get into the routines you guys always talk about, I still have to go to work and get myself into a routine. Last summer, I worked and saw my girlfriend. That was it. Then sunday\'s I\'d hang with a group of my friends. This summer, I wake up, eat, hang out at home and then go out with friends at night. So even though I\'m trying to live life freely, I\'m still in a routine. That\'s only gonna get more routine when I finally get my job this summer. Life is one big routine.

Raz, your days off must be great though when you can spend a lot of time with your kids.

Do what you like. It feels good to be part of a team and that you\'re contributing something useful to it.

If your work environment sucks throw your resume on Monster. It\'s what I did and now I start a new job in June.

Life is too short to spend 40+ hours every week doing something you hate.

I don\'t really hate what i do...i actually like what i do....i was just sayin\' how people are in general when it came to working...*thus the mindless drones comment*..for me once i start my nightly backups on our computer systems, the rest of the night i\'m on cruise control,...unless a server drops off or a program bombs...

It just seem like we live in a system of have and have nots,...i think i fall somewhere in between of not really having everything, but also not having very little either...i guess it\'s just the state of the economy i\'m lookin\' at....it just seems like folks are one paycheck away from losin\' their house or car...i\'m still maintaining,..as a matter of fact i just received a nice raise a few days ago so i\'m in a better position than most but,...idk,...these gas prices keep going up on a daily basis and nothing is being done about it...

I don\'t want to turn this into a political thread, but i think if the u.s. released some of it\'s reserves to ease the pain at the pumps for awhile, it might also give a small boost to the economy.

Problem is some of the reserves aren\'t even tapped yet (like Alaska) and may take years to set everything up.

I think he\'s talking about the Strategic Petroleum Reserve, which is a supply of crude oil that has already been extracted. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strategic_Petroleum_Reserve

Seems kind of pointless because if they release those, it says at most it will have a 160 day supply at 4.4 million barrels a day at maximum extraction rate. That\'s really not a lot compared to how much we use in the US every day (like 9.2 million barrels) I only see it as a temporary solution but these gas prices are here to stay. It just doesn\'t make sense to me since it won\'t last even a year. Help yes but not for long.

Hmmm...that\'s interesting....there\'s this commercial that\'s been on tv recently down here..*not sure if it\'s a georgia thing or universal commercial*...but there was this lady talking about new sources of energy and i heard her say that we have enough reserves to power the country for 60 years....but according to what you just stated, that clearly is not the case...if the reserves won\'t even last a year,..then yea..i say it\'s not worth it...

I\'ve heard reserves speak of different things. I\'ve heard of reserves being the stuff we have in the tanks. I\'ve also heard it said in oil wells we haven\'t tapped yet. Even 60 years really isn\'t a long time if they are talking about tapping the fields that haven\'t been tapped yet. We should tap those I feel for a short term solution but we need to be setting up a structure now of a new energy source like ethanol and biodiesel. Right now, the structure for these new fuels is not in place and that alone may take 60 years. I mean shit, look how much corn has gone up. Corn is in so much stuff that we eat and use every day you don\'t even realize it. Almost all foods we consume have some corn product. Now they are taking some of the supply to be made in ethanol and that\'s hurting our economy more. Things will be put in place I feel but its gonna take time.
