I'll wait until the end of next month, and depending on how much money I have left, I'll get it then or in the beginning of April. Have to buy ME3 on first.
Dealing with difficult customers who can't explain what the problem is.
Telling people they majorly fucked up, without pissing them off: "You deleted a table in your database with over 10,000 records in it? Sure, we can restore it. 200 bucks please."
Having to relearn Javascript. Seriously, if I had full source code access, I could implement a function in a matter of minutes. Instead I have to use a weird syntax and non standard keywords to do it. It annoys me greatly. Also, the API's we use don't really have any documentation, which makes it even more difficult.
Having 25 open cases I have to follow up on, while still answering the phone and incoming emails. Some days are stressful.
Learning stuff on the fly. This is an old and huge CMS, and even people who've worked in the company for 5+ years don't know all the ins and outs of it. So if a customer calls with an obscure problem, I pretty much have to use my intuition to figure it out.
Finding something to do on quiet days. 3 phone calls and 5 emails in a day makes ZimboDK a dull boy.
Still though, hours are good and so is the pay. So I can't really complain.
ME3. Been waiting a long time for it. Finished ME2 a couple of weeks ago, and my save file.... I just realized my save is on my crashed HD... that doesn't boot... at all. FUCK! Guess I have to download a save then.
I think if I remember correctly that ME1 on the PC had a dedicated PC UI, which wouldn't really work with a controller. I don't really see that in ME2 or 3 though so, money I guess. Or laziness. You could always use Xpadder to map the controller though. It'll probably work fine. Personally I can't play ME with a controller though, it just feels wrong.
Yeah, your hardware is of course fine. Kotor has issues in Vista and Win7. There should be some fixes on the Lucasarts forums. I'll actually start Kotor up again tomorrow on Win7, so we'll see how it goes.
Be careful you don't fall into a job-experience-gap trap. You get a gap in your resume, employers won't hire you because of your gap, your gap grows larger, employers won't hire you because of your gap, your gap grows larger, employers won't hire you because of your gap, your gap grows larger...
Yeah, this is me.
They call me The Unhirable. I don't fight crime. I just eat a lot of ramen noodles.
Been there. 2 years with no job. Finally got one with a company that didn't care about the gap in my resume. 100's of applications and in total, more than 30 job interviews. What a pain.
@CL60 Think it over thoroughly. A few months without a job can suddenly become a few years. In this economy it's not exactly easy finding something to do.
