…I give up

Published by Travis on 5/26/2005 in General. 1 Comment

Well, Its 4:06 in the AM (my song just said that… wow that’s creepy…anyway) and I have resumed hunting for a job after taking a hiatus for a few weeks. I can’t find SHIT and I don’t know what to do. All of these jobs require you to have prior relevant work experience, and at 18 I don’t have that. Even Tier 1 Help Desk job’s want you to have 2-3 prior years. All that i can think of doing for a job is working a McD’s or Burger King… That will only solve one of my problems though, I’ll have money but still no relevant work in the IT industry. ARGH!! :( There is a internship offer i can take advantage of, but its unpaid… again I’ll get fucked so it’s not worth it.

Heres what I would put on my resume, if i had one.

Ok, i was just kidding about TiVo being illegal… But it could happen…

What do you all think of the MPAA attacking popular TV trading sites like BTEfnet? TV has been a grey area for a long time because of TiVo VCR’s and TV capture cards w/ software like MythTV… Could this be the end of DVR’s (since they esentially do the same thing.) Aren’t TV shows free anyway? Why can’t i download a show that’s aired on FOX like House, or Life on a Stick? Most likely the MPAA is going to say that it was due to no advertisements in them, but can’t I legally hit the fast forward button on my TiVo or my VCR? (if your still old school like that) I guess our fast forward buttons will be removed from our devices.
