well, i can't complain to my co workers or have a chip on my shoulder any more. I've been working full time for 7 months. I have averaged 43 hours a week. So our new HR had been asking me questions about what hours I want to commit to working (we had been "flex time"). So i went ahead and asked...
tienti, i seriously doubt you make less than me! lol, possibly the software is better.. we use autodesk inventor 2012.. but there seems to be a slight licensing issue with everyone. So its iffy! There is always something to learn i imagine. Its a foot in the door, thats all i can say...

It's just the failure to progress for me that is upsetting, given the company, i could care less if they prosper or not but i want to move forward... It's the politics that seem to hold me back, and that can make someone develop a piss-poor attitude towards things.
