It's not the file size that matters, but the orientation.

I like my job. Although it's boring at times, I mostly sit here and post.

Yes I do. I work in Mac tech support. So frankly I don't have to do much, as things rarely go wrong. We're moving people over to Entourage this and next week, though, so I'll have to do more.

I'm developing software for the f-35 Joint Strike Fighter. Its a great job - my first as educated software engineer - great salary and colleagues.

I would also say that I don't love my job, but I like it a lot!

And in a month or so, my team are traveling to Texas to do some work there. Never been to USA before, so I'm looking forward to that!

I think I'll answer that question with a link.

You'll definitely have to do more. I also do Mac tech support and by far the most problematic thing I have to deal with in all 10 offices I support (with the possible exception of an annoyingly irregular Xerox photocopier in Boston, must need more fiber) is Entourage. I hate Entourage.

(But not the show, I love the show.)

I just went over 18 years active duty Navy. And no, I don't like my job anymore. The Navy has gone so far down hill lately that it ain't funny no more. I only have to tolerate it for another two years until I can retire.

Happily enjoying Air Force life for the last 5 years. Enlisted pay is way too low, but I put in my application for a commission soon. I work in the health field, so it's very rewarding. DoD uses Windows though...

E-5 in 5 years? Not bad for the Air Force. I've heard that promotion is slow there. Two more years until I get to sign my DD-214. I don't even want a retirement ceremony.

I made it on my first testing cycle which is pretty rare. I've known a number of people who don't want a ceremony at retirement. You might want pictures in a few years though. Do it anyway.

I'll think about it. I wouldn't mind forgetting about most of the Navy when I'm done.
