Ok, everyone tell everybody your shitty, godawful job.
If you have an awesome job (mikezilla, zaphod, klein, mazy etc.), then please stay out of this thread, or start your own goddamn thread to discuss the finer points of being in heaven :evil:
Ok, I'll go first.
I work tech support for a phone company/ISP/evil all-consuming plague upon the world, and it pretty much blows.
We're the biggest in my country (although thats not saying much), and therefore everybody hates us.
My day consists of sitting around infront of a computer, reading SA forums, playing solitaire, making map layouts, and sometimes talking to customers. God, fucking customers. Always ruining my fun.
I've gotten deaththreats a few times, but mostly people just call me retarded/stupid when I won't do something inane that they want me to do.
The funniest is when people start crying or swearing that they will track me down and run me over with a car. Then I have to put the phone on mute while I and play some solitaire.
This job is causing me to get low self-esteem, I work pretty shitty hours (8 hour shifts, you either start at 8 in the morning and work to 4, or you start at 12 and work until 8 ), and its mind-numbingly boring.
I'll probably be stuck in this job for another year, while I wait for university to start. Then I'll be a student for 3 good, long years, trying to forget this dark, cold, evil place.

Ok, now you. And no game-industry professionals come into this thread to brag. I'm this close to drive a truck off a cliff.
This message has been written from my workplace. I got paid for it. Yey.
