  1. Re:I know. on The Worst Development Job You've Ever Had? · · Score: 1

    This is what I try to tell people, when they suggest that retail and fast food is okay for a while. To get on my feet. I couldn't even get hired at a Video Store that had just opened and needed bodies to man the place. I was 30ish, quite reponosible, etc etc. But when the interviewer asked what I did at other jobs, I couldn't lie and say "Oh manned the registers and stocked shelves." Well okay, I did do that at my poster sales job, but he wanted to talk about the jobs before then.

    Mentioned I was a software developer and his reply: "You should be able to find a job like that pretty soon!" I knew right then I was not gonna get the Video Store Clerk gig.

    And what a job it would have been. Watching movies. Dealing with hot college chicks.

    Don't forget that you can itemize the cost of Tax preparation as well. It dones't help me, but it's something to think about.

  18. Re:Most idiotic complaint on Congress To Force Cable a la Carte Plans · · Score: 1

    You have a point, somewhat. I mean if cable rates went up every 2 or 3 years, that'd be fine. But they raise rates every year, sometimes multiple times a year. Why are they experiencing such big increases but others are not?
