You lucky you have a job mate and a managerial position that doesn't take a lot of work (I assume the pay is decent since you are a manager). Lots of people would like to have your job, like me! I say just suck it up those 9 months, and in your free time at home, practice your game design if you realliy want to pursue that. I think your social life can take a break from time to time.

Sounds like a pretty sweet deal to me. If you're not required to improve anything why don't you just keep shit running while studying or working on a personal project?


because doing hard work can be extremely satisfying. Sitting around doing nothing, even if you're getting paid, is mind numbing.


EXACTLY!

I use to actually work 10-12 hours constantly when I worked in Korea for about 4 years. My new job in Texas is so got damn slow and boring... I literally do nothing every day, but surf the web (teamliquid or any gaming/forum websites are blocked by a proxy filter) so I can only check cnn or some dumb news site.

The worst part is I get an annual performance report so how the hell will I get promoted if I haven't done shit all year... I plan on going back to Korea when I finish serving the minimum amount of time required at Texas. (2 years minimum)

I want to work a job that makes my brain function and is spontaneous. In Korea I worked with Virtual Private Networks (VPN), anti virus servers, little bit of firewalls, windows server 2000/2003/2008/NT, virtualization, little bit of blackberry, computer patching, security inspections on our network, and etc.

In Texas... I literally don't do shit. I just sit on my ass and rot my brain cells. I feel like I'm unemployed, but getting a pay check. I should be thankful to be getting paid, but it's hurting my career.

Sorry if I hijacked this thread, but I understand exactly how the OP feels. I have an associates in Information Systems, basically an IT AAS degree, but I'm now working on my bachelor's for computer science. I'd love to get into big computer projects myself.
