I'm replying to this as I sit in my former employer's building troubleshooting their network/ other setup because of their new computers.
I worked here for 3 years as a graphic artist making 10-13$/hr. until I finally quit because they always thought I was doing things behind their back or had an alterior motive.
I pressed for 3 years to get new computers with no luck (I was stuck on a windows 95 P1-133 with 32mb RAM and a P3-450 with 64mb RAM- note that I was working with photoshop and illustrator). They finally decided to upgrade to Dells after I left (because the new people didn't know anything about the old versions of software or how to handle a crash) so they called me back to not only advise on their purchases, but also to install them because they didn't want to pay a real computer guy 50$/hr to do it.
They wouldn't pay me extra for my services or pay me under the table, but I did it anyway. At least I learned a lot about networking XP with 95/98 and other stuff.
I'm also wasting half the day because I can and no one's here. So I'm just fucking around on slashdot and the like. Hooray.
