Now how do you get that job. There are so many cool jobs and nobody tells me how to get them.

I am the payload engineer for http://www.sea-launch.com

 

Here's my take on the whole thing... I'm bored and frustrated as h#!! with my job, but joking about it with you guys helped feel a little better about being a waste of a paycheck. I figured that was what everyone else was doing too - well, one or two of those posts were kinda shady Not offensive though!

Now, back to the fine tradtition we've been following - I'd like to give you guys some slackin' updates....
Here's what my new work schedule looks like:

7am - hunh?
8am - yeah, right...
9am - wake up
10am - get out of bed, take shower, get dressed etc...
11am - head to Starbucks, sit on patio and read until I get hungry
1pm - usaually about the time I eat lunch back at the 'office', check out what the TiVo has in store for me, and maybe put a coat of Z5 on the Black Beauty (dang swirl marks just don't go away!)
5pm - work's over!

Now, it should be mentioned that the day is interspersed with checking my work-related e-mail, and my office/cell phone is on 24/7, so it's not like I'm avoiding my boss/co-workers/customers - they just haven't had anything for me to do lately...

 

Here is a little bit from our website. Read between the lines of the text and tell me what you see...

 

I just started my 3rd semster of college. And I want a job where I can have work to do but also am able to go online and check this site out and email and such that still pays decent.

Also is there a job that I could get right now that will allow me to do this and not have a degree.

Also if there is such a job should I quit school this semester persue the job and then go to night school next semester.

Please help me out because I want to be a semi-slacker. Thanks

 

Quitting school is almost always a bad move. Maybe 1% of the time something too good to pass up comes along but not usually.

If these are really your goals I suggest a career in the aerospace industry. Any of the giants should do: Boeing, Lockheed-Martin, Northrup-Grumman, Raytheon, etc...

Pretty good pay and pretty light workload most of the time. You won't get rich but you won't work too hard either.

[B]I just wanted to say something in reference to all the slacking posts that were going on a bit ago.

 

i'm offended that someone found slacking offensive!

 

I found these posts quite humorous and insightful!
