Yeah, they have to account for the fact that around 50% of those people buy into that crap.

On the other hand, at their Christmas party every year they get up there and thank sweet baby Jesus in front of the IT department which is made up of a lot of people from India and Pakistan. Lol

What, are you from the south? lol

Nope. But sweet baby Jesus nevertheless.

I'm picturing some sys admin fuming thinking "You should be thanking me, motherfucker!"

I'm right there with 'em lol. Jesus has got nothing to do with our enterprise software.

Poor IT people. I'm so glad I decided to work with my hands instead of following my schooling. All I learned at school was how underappreciated I'd be

The money makes the medicine go down.

Yeah, I program machines to cut stainless steel. So I guess I'm still doing something with computers... Just less office cubicles and more steel toed boots

That would be cool. I program accounting software. Steel-toed cubicles for me.

Doing something like that would make me envious of people who watch paint dry. So mundane

It sounds a lot duller than it is. A better way to put it is that I solve puzzles all day.

But every time I try to leave they find a way to keep me.

Hey, me too! Except when I fuck up it's less error text and more the sound of grinding metal. It's... exhilarating.

Sounds like expensive fuckups.

black people will never become trump supporters bc they want to speak their anti jewish minds.... #jewseycity2019

Yeaaa.... I've lost a $10k piece before..

Holy shit

I probably make the company around $50k a day

w/o the media putting them down

Which... now realizing this, I need a raise!

#soundbit "I doubt it"

Good Lord, most I've done is kill production servers in the middle of backups.

Which is a huge headache, but not ten Grand worth.

killing is never good

Yeah, working on a custom pinion for a water pump that drains the water from a reservoir in Mexico. Thank god I have a nice boss, because I felt like I would've lost my job that day

from my experience with mexico corporations/companies... their shit sucks

"It's only ten grand. We all make mistakes."

I didn't know it was that much at the time. He just said "Cut another piece of stock and try again"

ah, I've seen stuff like that too

The pump itself is about the size of a smart car. That's why it was expensive

Used to work at a factory that manufactured parts for aircraft... that was a fun time

dont ever get a mexican company head their tech support division from mexico city... they are about at useful as a bunch of boomers

😂

go Asian or go home

Yeah... depending on what you're working on, the price can vary. The most expensive stuff I worked on was making the transformers for US Navy submarines

Every time I see a boomer reference I can't help but picture the boomer enemies from Gears of War.

and if you have to do business with companies from mexico and want to have "faith" in their top execs then just throw ethics out the window

Idk India has some pretty solid tech support if you can understand them

tortillas

corn chips
