Best of luck, Machi.

Has the hammer finally come down or are you all still siting on pins and needles waiting for them to move?

Well, they've slowed down on lay-offs right now. After 8 months of it, it SHOULD be done.. I'm just so stressed with this job that it's affecting my health. A majority in our department is on some sort of anti-depressant (except me *knocks on wood*).

There's no way of climbing the ladder, and the quotas and paperwork required are ridiculous. The building itself is horrible - the air is so recycled and thick that you get sick just walking INTO the building, and then they keep it about 55 degrees, no matter if it's the heat of summer or the worst winter on record. You should not have to sit at your desk in parkas and sleeping bags to get your work done... [/rant]

So I'm looking around for something else.

I'm a Software Development Lead. I mostly write and maintain software, but since I also manage the company's servers, I could also be considered an administrator like Master Splinter and Ai.

I'm currently working as a Keyholder/Supervisor at Dollarama, and as a Concession Cashier at the Mosaic Place Arena

Customer Service Rep in a call center. It's a government program so I get to listen to the best conspiracy theories Ontario, Canada has to offer. I'm trying to move up, but unless one does some serious booty kissing, it's next to impossible. The good part is I can crochet at work so I will never run out of blankets, scarves, or hats!

I was most recently A Game Designer (Creative Development/Publisher side) for Disney Interactive Studios. I've been in the game industry in various roles for the last 10 years.

About this time last year I was laid off with about 600 other people. Between my severance and unemployment, my wife and I decided it was totally doable for me to go back for my Bachelors before returning to the game industry (I'm not wiping my butt with $100 bills, but we aren't destitute either). So I'm in the middle of that. I am a year in with a year to go.

So I guess my current profession is full time student

You guys should check out the new BK® Chef's Choice Premium Burgers! They're crafted using only the finest ingredients! For a limited time you can try out the Bacon & Bleu BK® Chef's Choice Burger or the Bacon Cheddar BBQ BK® Chef's Choice at participating restaurants!

I had TWO yesterday, because they're simply sublime.

I had one a while ago (when they first debuted). It was ok, but nothing to write home about...

Then perhaps you'd be interested in the new McDonald's Chicken McBites? These extremely poppable seasoned premium chicken breast bites may be tiny in size, but they're huge in taste!

I've debated them, but they aren't high on my list...

Fraud Analyst/Voice Actor. Minister too, but that doesn't pay.

I also punch bears to death and that pays oh so very well.

*TheCanadiandrome* · 03-18-2012, 11:49 PM

wow you're busy

*gobo* · 03-18-2012, 11:50 PM

The government pays me to not work.

I sure hope they didn't expect me to keep that hush-hush.
