Ah does that mean tech support? You sit there and either use pretend knowledge to explain things that the user knows better than you, or you explain very basic things to immensely stupid users.

see second half http://maddox.xmission.com/c.cgi?u=compusa_sucks (PG 13)

Congratulations, Hivetyrant! It's great to be able to get paid doing something you love.

Now, if you are a tech support dude, please don't be one of those awful ones that thinks because they have knowledge that their customers don't, they are much better and more intelligent than the customer and therefore should be as rude and condescending as possible while assisting them

I get the dubious pleasure of babysitting a bank server overnight.

Easy, pays well but BORING!!!

Not to worry, at least I get about 4-5 hours playing on the Internet whilst being paid

Dace- I don't know what you're complaining about. You could effectively work nights, and enjoy daily life too, if you slept while not working. And you don't exactly get paid crap for it either. Wish I got paid to sleep!

Congrats Hive. What specific job have you taken up?
