Good Job Experiences?
alexkj asks: "Do you remember a situation that made you feel good about your job? There's a lot of moaning and complaining going on about peoples jobs these days. It's probably no wonder with all the downsizing going on, but it still gets me down. So lets turn it around, and find all the good stories. Tell everybody else about a good experience on the job. Try to be specific, and relate an actual story of a situation that made you happy on the job."
Last Time I actually had fun at work for extended periods of time.
...now ...I program in VB
....all I can Say is meh.....
...but rather the calling of a higher power....to learn cool shit that nobody else knows.
I was doing research in BioPhysics....
now that was cool, that was fun, I leared shit every day....
My shame...:(...
don't get me wrong its kinda cool some times but honestly
The best times are had doing fundimental research in acadamia...with no profit driven objective
--meh--
i feel bad that there are only 20 or so comments so far, and a bunch of them are modded "funny"...
that being said, here's my contribution to the positive experiences:
twice now, i've been able to take a portion of code i've written for one of our products and turn it into a utility that the rest of the group can benefit from. everybody wins; the code was already written, i get to feel important, and everyone else's work gets a little easier. as long as you dont take more than an afternoon to work on something like this, your superiors should be ok with it.
Somewhere on this page I have hidden my signature.
Quite frankly, no... None whatsoever...
Probably why I'm trying to start my own company now...
There's so little difference between politics and jihad lately...
After rolling out a new product/feature when my users email me with "I like it. I really like it."
