Title: Job Post by: SS on July 22, 2004, 08:56:49 PM I'm not going anywhere.
Well, I'm going to Croydon, but not for at least a week (probably longer; accomodation-wise) and I'll get Internet from there, so I'll still be here. :P Title: Job Post by: Filran on July 22, 2004, 10:07:38 PM But you won't be here here, you'll be there here!
Title: Job Post by: SS on July 22, 2004, 10:18:29 PM I'll be both here and there. :)

:) Mole: Nah, I doubt it. Title: Job Post by: matt_the_shark on July 23, 2004, 12:04:53 AM how good's the pay for it?
Title: Job Post by: SS on July 23, 2004, 12:42:42 AM £19k ($35k / €28.5k) a year.
Should be enough to get a nice house, live comfortably, and pay back my evil uni debts in not too long a time. :) Title: Job Post by: matt_the_shark on July 23, 2004, 12:59:10 AM meh, that's not bad. *applauds for SS*
Title: Job Post by: RipperRoo on July 23, 2004, 01:17:02 AM That seems damn small for a programmer, tell them you want 30k!
Title: Job Post by: matt_the_shark on July 23, 2004, 02:18:10 AM maybe he'll get payraises as he's on the job longer
Title: Job Post by: Lord Lanair on July 23, 2004, 03:26:54 AM SS?!? Yeah, right! Just hope he doesn't get cut from the payroll as time progresses. :P
Oh, I mean.... congrats, SS!!!!!! :paranoid: LOL Title: Job Post by: SS on July 23, 2004, 11:53:25 AM Quote That seems damn small for a programmer, tell them you want 30k! It's average for starting in the CF industry, and I will get payrises relatively quickly, according to the agency guy.If I went for a PHP job, I'd be starting on ~14-15k, if I was lucky. *whacks lanair with nearby plank of wood* :P Title: Job Post by: fan2hoobastank on July 24, 2004, 04:12:51 AM damn I'd be happy with that salary right now, would really help me to stay in my current place of residence
Title: Job Post by: Lord Lanair on July 24, 2004, 04:15:45 AM Quote If I went for a PHP job, I'd be starting on ~14-15k, if I was lucky. Whazzat? PHP? :miffed: Title: Job Post by: fan2hoobastank on July 24, 2004, 04:24:26 AM PHP
Projectile Herpes Protection? Profitable Hand Positions? Possibly HIV Positive? Planted Hairless Puppies? Pretty Hairy Places? Title: Job Post by: Perdition on July 24, 2004, 04:32:15 AM LOL more like Hypertext Preprocessor but I think I like your guesses better
Title: Job Post by: SS on July 24, 2004, 09:40:05 AM What fire said. It's another server-side language, but not as nice syntax as Coldfusion. It is free though, so that makes everyone love it.
Title: Job Post by: evilknight on July 25, 2004, 10:05:33 PM well, since this is the job topic, i might as well say i might have a job by tomorrow.
it's gonna be a slow one, just bagging groceries and stuff. i put in the application today, and the manager was there. he took it, flipped through it real quick, and then said to come back tomorrow at around 12:30. w00t. Title: Job Post by: SS on July 25, 2004, 10:23:30 PM Cool!
<childish taunting>My job's better than yours :P</childish taunting> Just remember - no matter how annoying the customers are, you're not allowed to attack them. ;) Title: Job Post by: evilknight on July 25, 2004, 10:25:40 PM that's what you think. im getting payed minimum wage to bag their shit.
i can get payed minimum wage at TONS of places around here. :P heh. they're like the grunts in halo. expendable. Title: Job Post by: Everous on July 25, 2004, 10:32:20 PM yo, you get paid minimum wage...to put items into bags?
...here...we do that kinda crap ourselves... do you also get paid to pull people's pants up when they go to the toilet? Title: Job Post by: SS on July 25, 2004, 10:37:22 PM Quote do you also get paid to pull people's pants up when they go to the toilet? Uh, shouldn't you wait until after they've gone to the toilet - things might get messy otherwise. Title: Job Post by: evilknight on July 25, 2004, 11:36:00 PM LOL, no, we dont do that stuff.
bagging groceries is easy shit to do, and im not gonna complain about it. sure, the cashier is probably getting payed twice what im getting payed, but it's also 10 times the work. Title: Job Post by: Lord Lanair on July 26, 2004, 04:48:36 AM Hehehe... you're getting money for little work, so what's to complain about? LOL
Title: Job Post by: mole on July 26, 2004, 08:59:18 PM Quote Just remember - no matter how annoying the customers are, you're not allowed to attack them. and whos stupid unwritten law is that? Title: Job Post by: SS on July 26, 2004, 09:15:31 PM Um, I believe it would probably be part of the contract he signs with the supermarket. :P
Title: Job Post by: Everous on July 26, 2004, 09:26:59 PM ...contract?...I'd say thats the law...
...unless you're alowed to just attack people in the US Title: Job Post by: SS on July 26, 2004, 09:28:59 PM Yeah, you can do anything in the US if you can afford a good enough lawyer. :P
Title: Job Post by: evilknight on July 26, 2004, 11:25:15 PM heh.
the sad thing is ss, you're basically right. you can either say you were crazy, then if you can manipulate the test well enough, and it really shows you were crazy, it can take you from life in prison to maybe 20 years house arrest. Title: Job Post by: Lord Lanair on July 27, 2004, 02:26:45 AM For attacking a person? Isn't that a bit of a harsh penalty? :miffed:
Title: Job Post by: underruler on July 27, 2004, 08:04:06 AM I love you SS. Congrats on the job, but don't think once you get all rich you can leave us. *ties SS up*
Title: Job Post by: mole on July 27, 2004, 05:18:05 PM Quote For attacking a person? if the jury didnt burst out with laughter at the circumstances....no :D Title: Job Post by: evilknight on July 27, 2004, 06:14:25 PM the secret to killing somebody in america is...dont do it in texas.
Title: Job Post by: Lord Lanair on July 28, 2004, 04:48:38 AM Or if you do, advertise/promote the gun you used. LOL
Title: Job Post by: fan2hoobastank on August 03, 2004, 10:57:59 PM So SS how's work going for you so far? u new job fun and good and alls that?
Title: Job Post by: SS on August 04, 2004, 07:41:28 PM Yup, jobs going good. Fun and not-difficult, and nice office & people & stuff. :)
Having to travel is a little annoying, but it's not too bad, and it's fun watching all the odd people on the trains & station platforms. :D Title: Job Post by: underruler on August 04, 2004, 11:04:11 PM SS you go out in public now?
Title: Job Post by: SS on August 05, 2004, 05:58:12 AM How else can I go around scaring random people? :P
Title: Job Post by: underruler on August 05, 2004, 06:21:17 AM I was thinking the same thing.
Title: Job Post by: Hornet on August 07, 2004, 07:02:31 PM Quote What fire said. It's another server-side language, but not as nice syntax as Coldfusion. It is free though, so that makes everyone love it. Don't knock it as soon as I'm not here - I'm now casually learning CF and I have to say I much prefer PHP. That it's free, totally versatile, and has updates and security patches provided almost instantly are nice bonuses. Good for you with regards to the job though! Title: Job Post by: SS on August 07, 2004, 08:04:37 PM Quote Don't knock it as soon as I'm not here Sorry, I'll wait till you're here before I knock it next time. ^_^The main benefits of PHP are because it's open source, whilst CF is owned by Macromedia - if it was the other way round, everyone would be using CF. *continues plotting to take over Macromedia* Title: Job Post by: Hornet on August 07, 2004, 08:18:23 PM Quote Sorry, I'll wait till you're here before I knock it next time. ^_^ I thank you. And now for the two random questions: What's happened about that list you were making for FoN? ...and... Did you make this Invision skin yourself, or did you find it from somewhere? Title: Job Post by: SS on August 08, 2004, 12:31:07 AM The skin: I think it's the default one? :miffed:
The list: Is coming along, slowly. :| (I've only had two 'sessions' on it so far... I'll do another tomorrow, then it'll take one or two more to get it finished, maybe) |
