You know, I do not know how people work in cubicles, because I have my own freaking office and I can hear people 6 and 7 doors down both ways in their office! WTF?
And you're sure this isn't just some fanboy thing? 'Cause I've fought more than a couple pimply, overweight vamps that called themselves Lestat.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
I really do love Warren Buffett. I'm less enthralled with the Gates Foundation, but that's mostly for personal reasons.
Oooh, do tell.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.
Okay, I called about the job, and it turns out that with benefits, the pay is around $12/hour. Right. No.
Ouch. This is for an IT job? You can make that working at Home Despot around here. Someone at that company needs to take a look at salary.com or something.

Help Desk, yeah. The lady was very nice, and doesn't work for the company that would be paying that rate. But honestly, they wonder why they're having trouble keeping anyone at their call center?!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Oh, mostly that they don't want to give money to the places I work. Due to having their own (specific, different) priorities. Personal like that -- the woman who runs the foundation is the BIZZOMB.
OMG I don't want to work on the thing I need to be working on.

Heh. I sit in an alcove with cubical-style dividing wall with two other people, near a copier, a shredder and a huge line printer. And I (and the other two guys) have to answer phones all day. I don't see the logic in this.

I don't know yet! We've got weird scheduling with two birthdays, Emmett's baseball tournaments and a visiting cousin in the next two weeks.
I'll go check the calendar and try to figure it out.

As long as I am complaining about loudness in the office-- people freaking SHOUT down the hallway. Like they are in their office down the hall TALKING TO ME! WTF. Call me on the telephone or get up and talk to me. I am OK with my boss doing this a) because she is my boss and b) because her office is right next door. But the accountant down the hall should JUST STOP IT.

Our company had a similar problem before they wised up. Granted, we're healthcare, so we still pay less than average, but it's lot better than it used to be.
And having worked both Help Desk and Field Tech now, I honestly feel like Help Desk is a harder job. Though it might be my personal issues. I'd much rather be fixing things hands-on than trying to use VNC, RDP or *shudder* talking users through things over the phone. I so want my old job back.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
I'll go check the calendar and try to figure it out.
