Same ol' Same ol'

Just having my lunch break right now. I asked my boss if we could work through lunch and leave at 3. He said he would think about it then came back and said sorry maybe another time, but he had a funny grin on his face. I think he might of been kidding. I bet he lets us leave at 3!

Just came back from a business trip. I'm currently making and managing the production of mobile phone casino games for a client, while I manage the day to day stuff for the rest of the company.

Oh, and I'm trying to Master Computer Science by 2010. I should be about 30% this summer.

Heh, not doing much of anything right now, although I wish I was. Currently broke, sorta doing work for my dad, I had to move back home so it's not like I can get out of it, what with all the free food and a place to sleep etc.

TheKiller says I should apply for a programming job where he works. I was never much of a coder, but it keeps looking better and better. . . .

And my wife pays the bills! No self-respecting non-liberal man would marry a woman that wanted a career and thus would have to be the at home parent.

Cy, you may not work for "The Man,",\ but you surely work for "The Woman."

Why? Because you sucked at it?

Important work!

When women do it, they demand it be noted as the job it is. They want credit where credit is due dammit!

But when men do it...

Good Job, Cy!

I think he's starting Henry Unit on hand to hand first.

I actually started learning about microcontrollers and am in the process of designing my own animatronic pirate puppet. Well, that, and I roadie for my friend's band. We're going on a US tour this July, it should be cool.

You call being a stay-at-home dad (AKA willfully unemployed) while your wife brings home the bacon being 'successful'?

Better start looking for that sugar mama now, chief.

Correct me if I am wrong, but wouldn't a legitimately-skilled IT professional make more annually than a librarian, regardless of gender? I'm not claiming to know what Ellen makes, but I've known a few librarians, and they weren't exactly driving Cadillacs. On the other hand, if you don't believe in education, I guess that nixes the $40K+ that you'd need to help your child's future.

Can I get that supersized?

Yeah, thats true. Real life work experience is super valuable but the kicker is that to get that experience you will most likely need a college degree. Just take a look at the statistics for earnings versus a college degree holder and someone who just completed highschool. There is a pretty big leap in earnings.

still working at radio shaft and going to school. hopefully leaving the "shaft" soon.
might decide to take maternity leave after the baby is born, as the wife currently has a higher paying J.O.B. than i.

BTW fuck you snag

...they want credit and thanks for what they do. Yes, Cy behaves just as you describe women, Outrider. It must be the nature of the "job" rather than the gender of the provider.

As for the value of an education, it is what you make it. Cy, I think if you took bookkeeping in high school, you'd have an idea of how to keep the books of your business. It seems you didn't or weren't able to take that class when it was offered to you for whatever reason.

I worked 5 years in libraries before getting my master's degree. Although a lot of the course work I did was based on what I had already learned on the job, I would not be able to get the salary I do without the degree.

Good job Cyborg.

Ellen - thanks for the correction.
