You IT/tech related job

Describe your typical day at work

writing python modules for 8 hours then going home

Going around fixing computers

>tfw help desk cuck

1. coffee & hackernews
2. some coding
3. lunch
4. hackernews, reading emails
5. some coding
6. done

Telling people they are idiots for 10 hours and why they're epic fails. (More or less openly.)
Job is to help out consultants when they fail to solve something. (I'm not suitable for direct customer contact.)

This is a NEET board, please fuck off

>hackernews

1. gf wakes me up, goes to work
2. move to the computer and read some news, drink tea
3. program, deal with occasional skype call
4. lunch, Sup Forums
5. see 3.
6. gf comes back home, done

it's a great website for software/techy relate news despite the edgy name

Working 7 days a week blows. But at least I'm making bank and staying in shape.

09:00 - catchup meeting
09:30 - check email
09:45 - start programming
10:00 - sudden priority change from above
12:00 - lunch, read hackernews, check theregister.com
13:00 - more programming
16:30 - random flappy panic from PM's on a project that isn't mine
17:30 - don't go home, continue putting fires out
19:00 - pack in for the day

>Everyone else goes home at 1730
>Spend the last 90 minutes of every single day just pacing up and down the empty office till I'm allowed to go home
It's surprisingly uncomfy to be honest.

>Ambushed by a manager who is panicking about something

>Internet
>Sleep around 2 or 3 am

Listen to some audiobooks with one earbud left out or ask if you can bring a book with you. I spend around 7 out of 9 hours basically doing nothing at my weekend job but we're allowed to read and use our phones so I'm just constantly studying or watching old star trek episodes.

The worst part is when you get turned down for absolute bullshit reasons, or no particular reason at all.

That's generally my day. However, when shit breaks, I work 24+ hour shifts to fix it. Also, sometimes I get motivated and work on a self-appointed project to fix a lingering problem in order to suck-up to the higher ups.
