It was indeed a unique thing to have happen within the first few weeks on the job for WC.
No. I just gave the initial public reply while our on-site staff and administrator dealt with the issue at hand. No shooting messengers
So I guess in Lieu of health insurance you just go into the boss's office when you're feeling under the weather, or just for a checkup?
Does he immediately diagnose you with some imbalance and put you on some of the anti-depressants that can increase focus to get you to work harder?
Congrats to employee number 2. Which steve do you think was employee 2? I'm guessing the Woz, or whatever people call him.
Dont worry macrumors about today's hijack. Luckily...nothing that major was announced at the keynote...and you can use this incident as a learning mistake. You clearly had the best feed and updates out there.....
I remember arn talking about never getting any invites to apple events though...which concerns me a bit...since apple said those type of events is what they are heading for....like the previous ipod and mac events.
any luck/progress with getting the official media invites?

Hmmm?
WildCowboy is now on a commission for dealing with trouble-makers. I and others will be managing the queue.
Something something I want a kickback something.
I have only just seen this thread.
Wow, congrats WildCowboy. Time flies, I remember when you were made a moderator. Figures you would have to get a bit of a rough start. Keep the whip-cracking hand nice and limber.

Thanks, folks. I'm really looking forward to helping keep MacRumors at the top of the heap when it comes to Apple rumors and news. It will be nice to be able to free arn up a bit to make some improvements both here and in his growing networking of sites. That, and he'll be able to get more than an hour or two of sleep per night...though I doubt he'll take much advantage of that luxury.
Wicked,top of the pile with rumors.
Like the Mac Mini release yesterday.
But i guess a rumor does not have to be based in fact just pluck em out of the air.
If arn had employed WildCowboy a little earlier they could have had an office secret santa
LOL, there's always next year.
How long ago was it when Arn started running MacRumors full time?
Edit: It was less than a year ago. Went from one part time employee to 2 in one year! Wow!
I have the same computers as wildcowboy

Yes, if you consider the fact that I have to be on duty even while asleep and dreaming...

You get to sleep on the job?!?! NICE!

Thanks...things are going well. It's a lot of fun, even if I do put in a lot of hours per day between writing and moderating. Being "always on" can be stressful, but the job certainly has benefits.

What are some of the benefits besides playing around all day?
I believe that SJ was employee zero and the Woz was employ one.
Maybe working from home?What are some of the benefits besides playing around all day?
