Not sure where to begin
1. You always get their B team
2. They use you to educate their employees on your nickle
3. Good use of SDLC but crappy coding standards (as long as it meets the contract, etc…)
4. Always go over budget
5. Horrible communication skills

1. Didn’t get promoted even though I basically did my boss’s job, he got fired, I apply and they hire some cunt who can’t even make it in at 830 every morning, let alone 8 when she’s supposed to be here…and then ask me to train her :wtf
2. People who give me a $20 bill on a $1 ticket. Seriously people. Cmon.
3. FUCKING GERIATRICS RED LIGHT MEANS DONT GO, GREEN LIGHT MEANS GO.
4. PUSH BUTTON TAKE TICKET DOES NOT MEAN DRIVE HALFWAY UNDER THE GATE AND BLARE YOUR HORN.
5. The ‘honk horn for service’ sign does not mean laying on your horn will make the gate go up. And I’m standing right next to you, asshole.
ugh

it’s all relative, yes it’s a ridiculously easy job, doesn’t mean there isn’t REALLY annoying aspects to it…
you’re no stranger to complaining either :rofl

dude, you get to sit in a booth and office, both which are climate controlled, and talk on the internet. :lol
i was out in the parking lot handing out tickets all day, blizzard or not, practically getting my toes ran over while dealing with the scummiest people.
not saying it can’t/ or doesn’t get annoying. i think you should have taken my advice and just gassed toni up, and let her think you are “such a nice guy.” you’ll be able to let loose much more if you play that chick. :mwahaha

Yep. Never met one that didn’t smell. Not a sterotype if all these circumstances seem to fit.

uhh, lots of different jobs allow you to sit inside a climate controlled office and play on the internet…until you have to do something else… I don’t understand what your logic is…you were cold/hot more than I was so your job was harder so I can’t come in to a thread specifically to complain about aspects of _MY_ job that bug _ME_?
And you guys have heaters and a/c, they dont work that great sure, but it’s better than nothing…I didn’t see you out working shows in 5\* /95\* weather standing completely still for 3 hours in 40mph winds, snow squalls and drifts/sweltering heat/humidity/rain…which might not sound hard but it sucks none the less :confused

I know SQL, Java, VB6, [VB.Net](http://VB.Net), ASP, [ASP.Net](http://ASP.Net), and a little bit of C.

Like Shawn explained it is not the syntax that is the problem, it is stuff that is happening else where. Here is a good example: I am doing some research into speeding up garbage collection times (in terms people can understand: making sure you always have as much RAM available as possible) using AI. I’ve been writing a multi-threaded program to learn when certain things should be collected and such. I stopped working on it for a month to focus on something else. Because I didn’t comment well enough (I did comment, but not nearly enough) I did not understand why my own code was not working when I made a change. Took me 5 hours of tracing (on paper) to find the problem (the threads weren’t sync’d :headbang). It came down to me using a method I wrote wrong.
Honesty to god, I ussually spend more time commenting than coding when I’m working. Everyone else there loves to use my code because they can understand it quickly. The stuff my boss wrote 5 years ago…god help you if you need to understand it.

:sleep
i wasn’t trying to single you out my friend, so don’t worry. :nod
i’d love a sit in office internet job. it would be a great change from manual labor, but again, not a career for me.
i was actually out there handing out tickets in that weather. towards the end of my employment we were outside all day long at st and erie, and we forced to keep the door open on the booth, so what heat were you referring to? the a/c’s also barely worked, trust me.

I’m not so much a regular manual labor guy myself it shows in my midsection :rofl

Look at real SDLC. How much is ACTUAL coding?

I let the analyst worry about all the steps in the SDLC

I am just pointing out that the actual coding process is a small piece of the picture. Documentation, analysis, etc… all need to be done.
