What things bother you the most?

"Back-up plan" were the exact words used...

Just hope he never sees the famous quote from John Lennon's aunt: "A guitar's alright John, but you'll never make a living at it."

Teaching was my back-up plan. :doh:

What was your 1st plan? Mine was to get rich and having a penthouse in most major cities in a dozen countries, but that didn't worked. :beaten:

Seriously, not finishing high school is probably the worst thing you could do. You can't find a job after that. Unless you count minimum wage jobs, drugs and sex industry. =T

the annual farce that is the eurovision song contest.

it has nothing to do with music and is everything to do with politics. it's just a yearly check to see which country likes which country. as nobody likes the uk we never get any votes. :beaten:

Actually, I wanted to be a 3-D animator. I was good at it too... but I couldn't picture myself doing it for the next 30 years of my life... :sweat:

On Topic: A FIFTH line down my screen... and this one in an awkward position. :doh: :puppydog:

Yup, seems like farce is the right word to describe the Eurovision and yet I got ultra angry that Turkey beat us for the fourth place by 6 points :banghead:.

Yeah, the music sucked. The worst thing is, they took off The Iron Chef and Top Gear on Saturday night to put the semi-final of Eurovision on :grumble:

He he. Well, the pay isn't bad and you can work on a lot of projects like advertisement, movies, games... I know people who took a 1 year class and can't find a job in the domain. Too much schools, not enough work. Your current job is safer, unless everybody end up sterile by next year. :sweat:

Yea, I have friends I graduated with two years ago who still can't find a teaching job. It's really competitive. I had 650 people apply for the job I got. It's really hard out there.

Noobs.

Particularly Lazy Noobs. :grumble:

Seriously? That's a lot!

Come to Australia, there's a SHORTAGE of teachers, especially in high schools.

Why is that?

I'm not sure. It could be because teaching is not seen as a desirable occupation (as mich as, say, IT) or it could be that conditions are not as good as in other careers... you'd have to ask a teacher :)

Also there's a lot of teachers retiring and changing careers, that they can't replace fast enough :)

Ohhhhhhh, so kinda like in the states?

It's a pretty decent job here... regardless of my moaning and groaning, I do understand that I'm pretty lucky. :)

On Topic: Dramas I just can't seem to get into. They take FOREVER for me to finish. :banghead:

I never touch either. :ashamed:

Some call center staff.

I have nothing against people who came from the galaxy NGC 3370, but if you are working in a call center, you should at least be able to speak the most common language on this planet: English, since we can't communicate telepathically yet.Got a call and the only thing I understood was gibberish. It was like "gibberish, gibberish, gibberish, *something that sounded like my name*, yet more gibberish, you penis." WHAT!?! ... Oh, not you penis, but UPS. I see... If you can't even say the freakin company name your working for, maybe you shouldn't talk on the phone. :rolleyes:

I just said randomly yes and ok at different intervals, but had no idea what the guy was telling me. I just wanted him to hang up. I can thank my mom and ex-girlfriends that helped me improve this skill over the years, by being able to switch off my brain and seem like I'm listening. :hehe:

Maybe I have a new life insurance or a package waiting... who knows. :sweat:

I'm sorry to laugh when you're obviously distressed, but that's way too funny.
