My dream job

BigSteve702 · 11-07-2009, 07:33 PM

things have been going great. i spent all yesterday rebuilding servers and getting the os's installed n whatnot

pay is great, right around 2400/month. not bad for working a reg 40hr/wk job

time goes by fast doing something you enjoy. i swear yesterday when it was time to clock out i thought it was like 5 hours earlier. didnt even take a lunch break cause i didnt feel i needed one

My job is quite similar but I do mostly on site tech support, sales, and system assembly. I'm getting about $13 an hour, but I'm looking for another job.

BigSteve702 · 11-07-2009, 09:36 PM

the majority of my work is building computers, servers and installing servers. however sometimes i get to mess with remote-pc and help people in town that are running our servers, mostly dental offices. remote-pc is pretty cool!
