Everyone has something to complain about with their job, that's why they call it "work". However, mine job is pretty nice as far as jobs go. I get to do all kinds of development here as one of the only two developers on staff. Application dev, web work, graphics, whatever. I also fill out the IT side of things by helping out with Active Directory, Exchange management, etc. Lots of interesting stuff. Some of thing things I want to do coming down the pipe are really exciting. I keep dreaming about how to do the data mining / ad hoc reporting / scorecards app the right way.
I also have some pretty great perks. I work at a company who's business it is to sell CDs, DVDs, video games, and more. We have bands and artists come to the office every once in a while to play for us. Record label reps occasionally have free tickets to movies and concerts. I managed to get my Xbox 360 buy buying it internally when the only other option seemed to be paying a big premium on Ebay. And then there are the promos and free CDs. All I have to do is wander around and I'm suddenly swimming in free music. We've got guitars hanging up in our break room. Pretty much everyone with an office has their own stereo system and CD changer - including me!
Today I just got a CD I've really been waiting for.
Show Your Bones from the
Yeah Yeah Yeahs. I've loved this band since I heard their track Maps on the
radio. I sought out a bunch of live recordings that never seem to get erased from my MP3 player. The newest CD is excellent and totally worth checking out. Buy it
here and you'll send some cash to my company.
