Holy shite, I need a job like the ones you guys have. I'm busy for 80% of the day.

I was busy last week doing a lot of work with a server migration and it was great - it was time to leave before I knew it. If you're bored, time passes far more slowly and it suuuuucks. Grass is always greener, I suppose.

Do you work for one of the larger companies in Atlanta or is a small software shop?
Posted on 3/31/15 at 10:47 am to gatorhata9
I'm actually not in Atlanta...about an hour east. I'm not sure of many software places here. It's an IT department of a much larger company that sells products. Our job is to make tools used by the company/agents/etc to sell and manage our products. I don't think it makes a big difference if I name things...but I'd rather not be too specific since I know I'm the only new hire in my department in a while.
Definitely a larger company, though, revenue > 1 billion / yr.

What the frick are all these jobs that don't require actual work?

I'll be honest with you because I think you are at a point in your life where you need to hear this...
I try not to have spare time at my desk job. I try to bust my arse to get ahead. If I run out of work, I do other people's work for them. When I've done all my work, and all of my co-worker's work, I study and/or take advantage of my employer's free online learning.
For I while, I thought it made me a chump, to be honest with you. I didn't think I was being recognized. So I quit. Then they hired me back with a 70% payraise and two rungs up the ladder in position.
Hey, if you are doing something you love, then money is no object. I get that.
But no one loves sitting in a cubicle being a code monkey all day. Don't lie and say you do, or you wouldn't have posted the OP.
Do you want to be a poor pathetic piece of shite for the rest of your life, or do you want to make something of yourself?
Stop spending so much god damn time on the internet.

I feel oddly inspired.

Well, actually, I spent a considerable amount of time today researching new programming language frameworks. That unfortunately requires internet access. We do have a lot of training resources.

You need executive training. You don't need to memorize more code if you know how to mobilize people who can, and interface their skillset with a dozen other particular skillsets to form a product/service that fixes all of your employer's problems.
