Man... you got to be a journalist to be treated fairly these days :(

You wouldn't say that if you knew the following facts about journalism:

- One of the worst-paid jobs requiering higher schooling
- Job with one of highest rates of depression, suicide, divorce and heart problems (yet, that's a fact)
- Get out of bed at 4 in the morning (as far as I am concerned)

So let us enjoy the good sides, will ya? ;)

And hey:
Thanks to you all for the support and advice!!

I'd say IT related jobs are worse!

At least you got a job! In IT your job could be done by Abdul Vishu over the indian ocean!

You get to get married in the first place, stop complaining!

"requiering"

Apparently that higher education does not equal better spelling. :rolleyes:

It doesn't, it only requires knowledge of how to use a spellchecker. You need to know which word to select when spellcheck suggests corrections (zomg!)

If you think you've got it bad, think about human shields. I bet that being a human shield would be harder than being a journalist. But yeah, you guys do have it hard :p

Congrats on getting the fix =]

To the guy how was bitching about my spelling: English is my third language. But I'd be the first one to make fun of a guy who has a spelling mistake in the very sentence he speaks about higher education :) Touché!
And yes there are worse jobs than mine. Like when toilet paper says "100% recycled". Recycling toilet paper, that must be the worst job in the world. To tell the truth, I'm kinda ashamed to see that things got moving when i played that "journalist" card. I guess that's how things go. I'll shut up now, until I get the replacement, find problems and whine about those!

Take care guys!


... How the f*** do you write "requiering" anyways? No middle "i"?

Requiring

That is sad that you had to play the journalist card to get Apple to do something. It is stories like this plus first-hand very bad experiences with Apple that actually makes me scared to buy one of their products... I'm glad you got taken care of though!

Think about this ......

If chloepc had started a new thread he would have been told ....

" this has been covered before, use the SEARCH function to find related threads instead of starting new ones "

Geez around here you are WRONG for using MRoogle and WRONG for not using MRoogle! ;) :lol:
