The what do you do for work thread[views:29344][posts:124]_________________________________ [Apr 13,2009 3:37pm - reimroc ""] brian_dc said:I certainly don't have the nightmare some people have with their first professional jobs. Thats because most professional companies are spitting images of Office Space. Working at any company like that would make me want to kill myself. Yea more and more companies are attemping to make work "fun" or "enjoyable" for its employee in the vain of Google but still those companies are few and far between. |

I have been a free agent in this field for the past 2 years, but i think ill be looking into doing installations and service in simple audio systems regularly for a while till business in freelance AV picks up. I do this, but @ colleges and there's more classroom technology involved obviously. First I was @ Westfield State College in MA but now I'm @ a private University in NJ. Completely different world than a state college. Not coming in to work for any reason is quietly and subtlely looked down upon. Also, everyone here just tries to get everyone else in trouble by broadcasting stupid mistakes to the whole fucking department. MAN, I need to get a music gig. |

| _________________________________ [Apr 13,2009 4:14pm - moenli ""] honestly, no one on college campuses pisses me off more than professors...they're arrogant and ignorant. I get treated like a piece of shit more times than I care to mention by people who I actually HELP. They're too self-important to learn or remember how to operate technology they use everyday to do their jobs. |
| _________________________________ [Apr 13,2009 4:15pm - reimroc ""] Yea I'm not surprised professors have that king shit mentality. |

| _________________________________ [Apr 13,2009 4:29pm - moenli ""] basically... I have a funny story about this. Back in Westfield, there were renovations happening so a couple classrooms were out of commission. So we set up a mobile cart and screen in a computer lab so there could be multimedia in the classroom for teachers. Basically all they had to do was turn it on the projector and focus it a little bit. This turned out to be too hard and a ton of professors complained. The head of the department said, "well, look at it his way. There are technology people, and there are pen and paper people ya know. These professors are more pen and paper people ya know." So I asked, "what classes are in here?" He responded, "mostly graphic design and audio production." LULZ |
