Tech support for a software company.

Time to toss an interesting twist into this thread;

Fess up if you've had a fling with someone you know at/from work. :hmm:
I have, and occasionaly still do. I should feel guilty because for reasons I'm not going to discuss. But it's not like it's love or a relationship either.

Sorry Danurve, I'm surrounded by Infantry grunts, the only flinging that goes on around my job is to fling live 5.56mm rounds at enemy Taliban :hulk:

I'm just a lowly office administrator I'm afraid for a business transfer agent.

Been there about a year now; pretty boring work really but on the plus side my team leader is 22 and hot and I get to sit right opposite her! ;) :|\\

I feel very, very, very sorry for you for the mere fact that you have to deal with the idiots of my generation (18-24), which is basically 80% of them all.

I guess that is a pretty important job in the netherlands huh?

I don't see it that way: every job is important in it's own way. And it does not give me any benefit when I try to sneek in a convoy or try to avoid a DD :rotfl: .

Job
 
I work as a law clerk (law articling student) for a small law firm in my home town; it will be another couple of years before I pass my last year of law school and write the bar exam (and thus become a lawyer).

I hear this often, but, having worked with them extensively, have come to the conclusion that the this generation is really no worse than any of the previous generations at their age. The fact that technology has allowed for them to be constantly and instantly connected with each other has served to publicize their indiscressions to a degree unheard of. People of my generation, and those before, were able to keep a lot of these things under wraps due to the fact that information traveled much slower back then.

In regards to academic ignorance, there were a lot of people in the WWII generation and the Baby Boom who couldn't locate this or that country on the map, so that is nothing new. Most complaints are nothing more than the age-old cry of the elder generations pointing to the young-uns and telling anyone who would listen that the world is going to hell in a handbasket. The reality is that it is already there, and has been there throughout most of recorded history.

In short, you guys have a bad reputation that you really don't deserve.
