No not really. I see a lot of stuff and sometimes it is as bad as they depict it to be when they do inside looks at places, but there are good places that are clean too. The bad ones just make better news, so in my position it helps to see both ends of the spectrum.

Gym is a block over, easy to workout at lunch

Aircraft technology development ?

ha! yah i wish. No im comparable to an aircraft electrician but a little more.

I wish we had some weights here in the hangar that would be sweet cuz sometimes all i do is surf the web (anabolicminds.com).

well the hangar i work at is on the opposite side of the airport away from the terminals so there really isnt much but tools oh! there are 70lb batteries but i wouldnt know what to do with them they are so awkwardly shaped.

Dlew, im not sure if you do the same but its funny the IT techs here blocked myspace from me and i got around it. They then blocked my way around it so i found another way. Then they put out bulletins on going to non work related sites etc. blocking my way around the block. This worked for a while and the bulletins went away. I just found a way back on again and they immediently put out a serious note threatening taking my comp away and termination if "illegal sites" are accessed again. LOL. ill just leave those dorks alone already.

 

[dlew308]

LOL I feel your pain. Our network team is in charge of blocking sites.
I don't have that crummy job

Gotta be a way to use those 70lbers....
think...what would macgyver do????

They blocked myspace here too, so I used a secondary proxy through a pop up window, then about a week later they blocked that...any other suggestions ?

Try a ssh tunnel proxy, this requires having a box outside your network to ssh tunnel into tho. I only know how to do this via unix. Here's what i found on google for windoze peeps...

My department is state ran through the government, not directly federal like some other states, but I literally do jack if im not out like right now dingling around on AM.

In my dept. its like an unspoken rule that you don't do jack on Mon/Fri just sit in your cubicle and do nothing....hahaha if the taxpayers could see how their money is being spent.:clean:

haha, i definately hear you on that. my workload each day totals about 4-5 hours but i manage to stretch that to 8 hours. if im caught up, they have me worthless crap like shred, file, scan documents:yawn: seriously, we could easily manage the workload with half our staff.

unfortunately, advancement opportunities dont come through hard work with govt jobs. just get in and youll eventually progress to higher pay grades through "experience."

Yeah its kinda one of those situations where the only way to move up is if someone quits, retires, or dies. This is my first job and its really relax since its non-profit, but it can be drab at time though.......I get a lot of weird phone calls about people complaining about various things too.

there are proxies to get onto a proxy. so i used two proxies to get on. proxy.org and then spysurfing.com then myspace.com. I dunno thats what worked for me.
