I’ve started working yesterday. I’m doing an internship in a bank in Paris, near La Madeleine, and I’m a bit desperate :hangover: I have a lot of work already, I have to go to bed early, I can’t see my friends so much, I can’t see my girlfriend so much… We can’t I stay a student forever? ☹
The good thing is, my cash flow is going up. :beam:
pom :sad:

And I forgot to say: I can’t flash so much any more :hangover:

That’s the working life man…
Try working 40 hours a week at one job… Going home to 2-3 clients every week and then try and have some one on one time with your significant other and get sleep…
I’ve learned that sleep is useless _lmao_

aww man that sucks Pom, things isn’t the same without the regulars here…☹
Well I’m graduating this March and going on with my education at another school in April so I will be gone too. Hopefully when I come back, all the regulars like Pom will be here. =)

[SIZE=1]I think the worst thing is that I can lurk but not answer posts, my boss is always watching me[/SIZE] :pirate:

yeah same here, I don’t think my professors would be too happy to see me posting on Kirupa when I’m suppose to be paying attention. :-\

Congrats on your job Pom =) Glad to hear you are done with your college education. I guess there is a world beyond Flash! Maybe it is that strange celestial object called “life” that I’ve heard all the cool people talk about!
Cheers!
Kirupa 😛

I go to work and do 8 hours of web design. Come home. Eat dinner. Kiss the wife. Go and do about 4 or 5 hours of freelance web design.
Welcome to the real world.
I really need to quit my job.

Yeah, congrats on the Job Ilyas, but I will really miss you around here. You were my Flash mentor man… without you here I don’t know what to do ☹

_Lurk_
My boss hasn’t arrived yet :evil:
Now that think of it, I think I’m gonna give in to the dark side and become a spammer, Phil-esque, since I don’t have Flash here (obviously :-).

Well you got mad skillz, I am sure you can post some decent code without Flash :beam:
But it will be fun spamming with you as well 🙂

I guess I can consider my job to be pretty good when you think what else I could be doing… Since no-one else here knows much about what I do, I can lurk (love that word) around on Kirupa for most of the day, and call it research. I can also play around with Flash and tell them that I’m learning new things. Mwa ha ha!
By the way and completely off topic, I like the Spiderman foot, Putch. 🙂

and i´m sure you´ll find some time, as little as it may be, to chat with your kirupian pals 😉

yah man - real life sucks sometimes. I just got a job in November of last year and it really does take away from your other “loves” but you are right - the cash flow does go up 🙂
I am kind of lucky because I get to work in flash and dreamweaver and photoshop all day but still - it’s not as fun there as it was at home doing what i wanted ☹

I’m in the same boat as Kit. no one knows what i should be doing so they think i’m working while i’m here. I installed flash at work and nobisy even noticed. i work in it all of the tiem and ppl don’t know what teh hell i’m doing. But the don’t want to look stupid so they don’t question me.

i can´t do that here ☹
the only thing that helps me get to kirupa without drawing too much attention is that i have my back to a wall 😉
