2. hey.. a paycheck is a paycheck is a paycheck

It's always better to search for the "better" job, while you are employed.. As long as they did not make you sign a loyalty oath with your blood:evilgrin:

[JohnyCanuck]

3. Oh Oh

Don't be surprised If they stamp 666 on your forehead the first day at work.

[MoonGod]

4. Hey... congrats...

... in this crappy economy, you gotta take what you can get.

Just make sure you donate as much as you can to your fave candidates/organizations and take great pleasure in knowing that the $ you're donating came from AOL.

[Robbien]

5. Good, I hope you are soaking them for a lot of money

Just don't push that crap off on gullible people, kay? Or if you have to, make sure they are rich republicans.

13. On the bright side

Maybe you can infect them with a little dose of reality from time to time.

[MoonGod]

19. They seem to be pretty immune to "infection"/reality...

... Llamaboy Frankel gave it his best shot and finally gave up. AOL tried to tell him what he was allowed to do in his spare time. bleh.

[baldguy]

14. Do they pay you with start up discs?

[Kahuna]

15. Congratulation, Sean!

You won't find ol' Auntie Kahuna, knocking you for getting a job..

:bounce:

[Scottie72]

16. Congradulations Sean!!

Don't worry about it, I worked with Wally World for a year before finding a job in my field. :toast:

[ACK]

17. I use to work for CNN in the Internet NOC as a Unix sysadmin

Good luck man.

I have no idea how AOL proper is. Where are you at? I live in Northern VA now. I am up around South Riding and I work for the real devil. THE MILITARY/INDUSTRIAL complex. BAE Systems NA in their Business Solutions Group. No weapons just computerized paper processing.

[scucci]

18. Good for you, Sean

Congratulations and remember this isn't forever. We've all been there. Bills have to be paid. It sucks to the nth degree but you will move past this eventually. Good luck to you!

P.S. Some of the posts in this thread almost made me pee in my pants.

[OneTwentyoNine]

20. Hell,in Chimpboys economy I might be hauling trash....

I'm not sure whats worse with these idiots in office--being self-employed or being layed off. Neither one is paying very well these days. I don't even want to know what its going to be like this winter.

21. Don't feel bad

a pay check is a good thing. I use aol, I almost hate to admit it since everyone seems to hate it but I have always been quite happy with it. Never a problem. Have tried others but always come back to it. I guess if I knew more about computers I might be happier elsewhere but the ease it offers makes me not want to give it up.

[classics]

22. Fix the chat rooms.

They are a cockroach^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H repub breeding ground.

[Blue_Chill]

23. Hey it could be worse

You could've gotten a job for Haliburton(sp?).

[dani]

24. I'd like to work there

but I just read the other day that they're laying off their Netscape programmers and switching to MSIE as the basis of their future releases :(

[ScreamingMeemie]

25. See, now you're making me feel bad that we are getting rid of AOL

But on the bright side maybe you can help get rid of the asinine polls, like the Ann Coulter one....Grr, still angry over that one.

Seriously, best of luck to you...:toast:
