Programming is a hot thing now :( unfortunatly for me, that means more job suckers out their. This wouldnt bother me if they were all good at what they do, but most people i see in my classes cant program themselves out of a 10 byte single dimention array! Ugh, it really bugs me in lab, people come over and ask all kinds of questions about this or that or how this works, seriously, figure it out. Your not going to be sitting at work and have the guy next door to talk to and figure out something. Durring all my schooling, i have asked 2 people about code related material in class. one person was my teacher (its a lower level c programming class where we are making drivers to work through the serial port to send bits to a voice recording chip) and that wasnt for programming help, it was for figuring out the damn conversions from the pin number on the serial port to the bit number on the port to the dip number on our chip interface. poop on that geez lol. This particular class is a prime example. thier is a group of 2 girls and 1 guy who dont even know c, have never taken it and dont even know what it is. The only other time i remember asking for coding help was in my c++ class when i asked my teacher to figure out an error which was so stupidly simple, i forgot using namespace std; (which has no relevence to the programs we are writing in this class, small stupid command line things). and a double precision thing to format a number. Im not saying im the worlds best or anything, and this is afterall only a community college, but still if your in the computer scince/software engineering field, be in it for the programming not the money. This is exactly why one guy i know is in it. and its just stupid.

anyway, thanks for listening i feel better now, and im gonna go take a nap before i goto death and dieing. :spew:

Just wait it gets better. When you get a job you will get to fix their code. Unless you can work for yourself. :banghead:

Been there done that got the t-shirt :sad:

That's why I leave that stuff to the guys that know what they are doing! But give me some wood, glue, and some nails, and I will build you a nice computer desk, and not bother you with any questions. :) (unless it is to ask if you want it stained or painted!)

I feel for ya man! Computer 2 class... not to programing quite yet....

Will! Will! Will! Will! Will! Will!Will! Will! Will!Will! Will! Will!Will! Will! Will! How'd you do that database search in access? What about step 3? How did you get your query to run right!?

Then the "mexican" grabs my shirt and expects me to squeak (which I usually do)

But then there's my lazy spells...

STEEEEEEVE! Steve! Steve! Steve! Steve! (yes we actually repeat each others names quite a few times, really fast.... its sort of a 4th period geometry inside joke)
How did ya do step 5 in case 3? You didn't do case 3!?!?!?! EriC!!!!!!! (the mexican that isn't mexican at all) How did you do that?!?! *copy copy copy* OKEY DOKEY!

Wow... but at elast tehre are tiems when we truly do our own work and get soemthing out of it. 9th period is kinda wacky as i said soemwhere else.... lots of singing and people falling out of chairs etc

By the way, today Patrick fell out of his chair, and it broke somehow. The seat was no longer attached to the spinning bottom. There are no wheels, so he didn't KYS.

Chairs... they squesk alot.... the go up and down only by messing with the lever that "ratchets" into place. No gas compression jobbies here.... They have a "bar stool" bottom... 4 "legs" in a circular fashion. They all join into the ratchet thing.

We all assumed his ratchet thing broke free from the legs... causing mucho debris on the floor :D
