Fun Stuff > CHATTER
Let's say positive things about our jobs!
Llewellian:
Good things about my job?
Hm. Weeellll.....
I work for a "vertically challenged" multi-billionaire with a private space program in his back yard of his New Mexico Desert Hideout. Guess is, James Bond will come around any time. As the geek that i am, i find that totally cool. Just buying out the NASA.
Else, I am surrounded by freaks (in fact, the companies hiring motto is: "Hire the freaks"). And when you think you have seen it all, some male collegues come back from a longer vacation with boobies on their chest and your first Job in the morning is to change their names in the system...
I'll count that as a good thing. Adds much to the fun part at work.
Oh. And the coffee is free. And the sodas. As much as you can drink. And...err.... the payment isn`t that bad. M'kay, its not that sexy workplace, but its quite ok. And a lot safer than my last job (check and measure holes in high pressure natural gas pipelines).
Have yet to try to work for Google, but in my Job Position, its at least better than working for Microsoft or Blizzard Entertainment (never worked for them, but my buddies do which do pretty much the same as i do. And they complain a lot when we meet and go for a beer).
Barmymoo:
I don't quite believe you but it'd make a great film.
valley_parade:
....I can't. My job's literally shit.

Richard Branson's Virgin Galactic?
Llewellian:
Nope. Jeff Bezos (Amazon CEO) with his private firm Blue Origin. http://public.blueorigin.com/letter.htm
Its based on his ranch in New Mexico and near where he lives in Kent, WA. He just buyed out the complete Delta Clipper Program from Nasa and McDonnell-Douglas including all the attached scientist slaves (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/McDonnell_Douglas_DC-X)
C'me on... doesn`t my boss look like the next "Super-Villain"?

Btw, he doesn't want to be the first blasting a rocket into orbit. Or to the moon. Nope. His main target is "I want to be the first to own a private build space station". Guess you can aim high with your wishes and targets when you have billions to spend.
