What' s On Your Mind Today? - Sep 08, 2004 16:15
I have been thinking about which second-job I really want to take...each of the offers I have provide enough pay to cover my ' required' expenses, but it would be nice to have even more extra cash...

On one hand, I could take a job that I know would be more enjoyable, but with less pay. Or, I could take the job that pays more, but would be less enjoyable.

If I' m gonna work 2 jobs, I would at least like to enjoy some part of my day.

This is what' s on my mind...for today at least.

So, what' s on your mind today?

Take the good job. The enjoyable one.

I am thinking about videogames, but that' s my job.

What' d you do in your job Joe?

I' m also thinking about getting a job. Went to a few ' Game' stores today, picke dup an application form in one and was asked to drop off a CV in a second one. A job in a game shop would be great though. I remember as a kid thinking people in those shops were useless... not knowing when a certain game I was dying for was coming out. At least I' d know and be able to help.

I' m also thinking about how much money I should take to the pub with me tonight...

Thinking about?
Lots of stuff I guess
1. Why am I in a crappy mood - reason = left home alone all day, no one to talk to so I keep quiet and when people come home I wish to keep quiet but instead get annoyed

2. What do I need to buy - garbage bags, school supplies.....

3. What to do after I graduate - I dont know

4. What time to go for supper - 6 but I have to walk so soon

Hmm that' s all for now
Also thought/worked on my music library and some games
I am beta testing a couple now but just on my PC, I don' t get paid

Beta test games in an office? So do you get many games to test? How long do you get each game? lol, it sounds exciting though I don' t know if it is in reality... having never beta tested a game before.

Oh, and because I know you are all wondering, I survived the pub spending only about a fiver on diet coke. I' m er... trying to watch my figure

This is a follow-up to my last post...

I decided to keep the more enjoyable job...the higher paying job, after personal considerations (time and $$ spent on gas), just wasn' t paying THAT much more.

Today, I' m thinking about how to re-work my budget to take care of all my bills, put away some money for Xmas and kid' s birthdays, still get a few XBOX games, and put money aside for personal property taxes (due Dec. 31st).

What a life...think my hair will be fully grey by year' s end...

What are the storyboards for?

I take it that you are an artist of some sort?

whats on my mind is how usa has 200,000 pow' s. prisoners of the war on drugs. the fact that a 60 year old woman with glacomma (sp?) (who needs to use a vaporiser to ease her pain) gets caught and thrown in jail, as in amsterdam, you can have a bit of hash with your coffee while talking to a police officer (off duty). the fact that people get put into jail for a plant. sure one could argue that heroine and opium are made from plants, but thats my point. they need a man made process to become that way. man made beer, god made pot. who do you trust?

What' s on my mind today? Worries about the Official Xbox Magazines, $%#@$% damn things! After I purchased my Xbox, there was a postcard to request 1 free magazine. So, I sent that in, got a magazine ALONG WITH AN INVOICE!!. Surprisingly, I recieved another magazine. I' ve definitely been signed up WITHOUT my consent. So, I refused to pay to those (#*$&@#, and the " Final Notice" invoice came, threatening to cut my so-called " suscription" if they don' t recieve payment by September 23! PLEASE give me advice on what to do? Should I lag payment or pay? If I don' t pay, is there gonna be lawsuits? Sorry, I am not so much into law and business.

Hey, Joe, what' s it like to work at a videogame store?

I don' t work in a videogame store. I don' t think I could ever do that. Too much like working at McDonalds in that you have to deal with lots of customers and you work in a very small space. Let' s not forget that the wages suck and the experience isn' t good for much other than to show you can handle and keep a basic job, handle money, and deal with the public. The last two are things I never want to worry about in a job ever again, even thouugh I did them well for the short time that I did them (worked at a movie theater for a coupe years with the public before finally taking over the projection booth forever).


Beta test games in an office? So do you get many games to test? How long do you get each game? lol, it sounds exciting though I don' t know if it is in reality... having never beta tested a game before.

1. Yes.
2. Depends on what is available at the time and how many " projects" we have going. We are usually divided up into at least two or three teams. Right now I am on the biggest team.
3. Depends on the developer. Usually for AT LEAST a month, usually more. We have to test each revision of the game and make sure old bugs were fixed as well as check for new ones.
