| _______________________________ [Apr 13,2009 10:14am - Mess ""] I'm an account manager for a private dr's coding and consulting company. we have about 30 docs with all sorts of specialties. the cool thing is reading the operative reports and seeing how the patient got hurt and what the docs going to do to fix it. some crazy shit comes through. it pays the bills but isn't a career choice for me. i've been doing this for 6 years now. i've also done some construction/framework/cook/moving company/other shit. i'm psyched this company took me back for the 3rd time. i was jobless for a year and it sucked. i'd rather be doing something more physical but this job has it's quirks. i can come and go as i please, listen to metal, wear anything i want (today i have on an A.C. shirt). |

I wear a fucking tie and sit in front of a computer, pretending I'm not yuppie swine. I also do FOH sound at a club called Valentine's (some of you know it), a couple nights a week. Occassionally I get a paying recording gig, but not often enough. |

| __________________________________________ [Apr 13,2009 11:32am - SacreligionNLI ""] Cook at Red Robin. I started there on April 2nd doing training shifts, then they fired one of their dish guys so I took all his weekend shifts as well and worked like 40 hours in 4 days. It was sweet til I woke up the following Monday with a bum knee and haven't been able to work since. It's ok though, because I was cursed before I was born and these types of things happen to me anytime I do something right with my life. Yaaaay! |

| _______________________________ [Apr 13,2009 12:00pm - Mess ""] i just got my sticker finally. it failed 3 times because a fuse kept blowing and the service engine soon light was on. my buddy cleared the service engine soone light and then i had to drive it for about a week hoping it would not come back on. it finally went a week without going on and it passed. |
| ___________________________________ [Apr 13,2009 12:02pm - niccolai ""] yea MIL monitors are a pain in the ass. after you reset the check engine light, it takes between 50 and 200 miles for the monitors to come back online so you're able to get a sticker. Fuck Parsons Vehicheck. |

Library work is a noble job...if you're a corporate salesman or a bullshit advertiser, then I'd call you a yuppie. There's some truth to that. I take pride in the fact that what I do helps people in the community, and that I work for a non-for-profit organization, however.... My job consists of the most mindless, boring, robotic, redundant tasks you could possibly imagine. It takes every ounce of my energy to get through the day without dying of exhaustion from boredom. Also, the building I work in is disgusting. To the point that, by the end of the day, I feel physically ill (I have terrible TERRIBLE dust/mold allergies). And I work in an office with 7 other people, one of which is the most obnoxious, loud and annoying woman in the fucking world. Seriously never shuts the fuck up, and talks at a most unreasonable volume. ehhh... sorry to rant. Feels good to vent though. |

| _________________________________ [Apr 13,2009 3:23pm - reimroc ""] it probably sucks to work there therefore people quit. amiright? |
| __________________________________ [Apr 13,2009 3:27pm - brian_dc ""] I don't hate it. It's secure. It's nothing I would brag about to anyone. It's a lot of young people getting their first jobs and moving on. I'll probably take a hike from here sooner than later. |
| _________________________________ [Apr 13,2009 3:31pm - reimroc ""] Well no wonder why the retention sucks. If all you hire is college kids then its going to be a revolving door. But hey, whatever pays the bills pays the bills. I remember not too long ago over last summer I didn't even have a job. I'm sure there are alot worse places people could work at than meditech. I wasn't bashing your workplace btw, I was just being curious as to why eomplyee retention sucked. |
| __________________________________ [Apr 13,2009 3:34pm - brian_dc ""] yeah...it's not bad at all. My supervisor is a great guy and everyone in my group are laid back and helpful. The job is a little repetitive, but I certainly don't have the nightmare some people have with their first professional jobs. |
