Aaahh Geek out!
Le geek, C'est Chic
Geek out!

First day at my new job today :) as a computer-salesy-repairy-blokey-thing. It's great, I get to stand/sit around all day, building computers and drinking coffee :D

I made a uber-machine today in a ThermalTake case.. damn this is fun :)

You wouldn't be encouraging theft, would you Dark Elf, naughty naughty. But i am sure that Comrade Badger is a very responsible adult and would never consider taking your advice, hehehehe.

That's pretty cool
How's the salary?
£4.50 an hour when on shopfloor but doing repairs and stuff I think it's somewhere in the region of £45 a job.
 
Sounds great Badger, think of all the stuff you can swipe ;)

My brother works as I.T support for a stock broking company, they have some great kit up there hehe :D While you won't top of the line graphics cards, there's apparently just stockrooms full of equipment like P4 3.2's and other stuff. If I need more RAM, I just ask, and I'll have another gig the next day :D
 
Thats like my dream job. Congrats. How did you get it? Just a normal apply for the position thing or do you have connections?

Perhaps you could sell stuff on Ebay and make a bit of money.

Well, Badger is 17. Although he is mr charisma, you can't say no to his cheesy grin :p. Ah so badger your potatoe days are over?
 
Rawr :D The next youngest person there is 21 :P so I got lucky really.

And no, I'm still working ol' Fine Foods at the weekends for a little bit :E



And Foxtrot I would go insane if it was just tech support, but a lot of it is building new machines, pushing our current machines further, pestering companies for discounts etc :E
 
Today was proper funny:

While clearing a hard drive of bugs n stuff, we stumbled across some kids' porn collection... his transexual porn collection :|

We had a guy who'd bolted his motherboard to the case chassis, and someone who couldn't get his PC to detect his Camera - he hadn't changed the mode from 'VIDEO CAPTURE' to 'PC BACKUP'

:D

lol did you keep it yours and his little secret :thumbs:
 
Nah we removed it :P along with all their warez crap - the hard drive had to be formatted in the end - so off went tranny_suprise.mpg :P
 
For a moment I thought it was kiddie porn and not a kids porn.
I was half expecting a news headline tommorow -

Masked hero, known only as ComradeBadger takes down paedophile baron.
