coolest job i've ever seen someone do is work at a headshop. (import tobaccos, fine smokes, and other stuff, etc.)

Basically, you meet a shit load of people with same interests as you. i.e. porn, smoking fine tobaccos/hookahs, renting games / old movies / underground movies, etc. It seems like a cool job, because every time i've gone up there whoever's been working either smokes hookahs with us or plays xbox with us.

my pet peeves are people that are too big to fit into tight spaces with many people. there's a guy here who has to go around every now and then and clean shit up, but he is way too big and gets in the way and is annoying abot tons of things.

I hate asskissers, especially the ones on your team who send out emails telling you what to do when I don't see the word "Manager" in their title.

Tasks with very short deadlines. I am an analyst for a Commercial Lending dept of a bank. Sometimes things need to get done ASAP. Love my job and company though.

you are using an online pcard software through insight...our web based procurement application allows individual users to search through our 1000 manufacturer+ IT catalog or a controlled customer designed catalog with laptop/pc approved configs, select products and complete a purchase order(s) - those orders go through an automated and customized approval workflow - upon approval the order is sent Internet to our purchasing department - you can track shipping and status - we can do delivery or have equipment configured/staged/imaged at our warehouse and then delivered to the person who ordered it. You can then get standard or customized reports including cost center information and we also can offer leasing and other IT services to go along with it (all without you having to step into the process)

basically you'd outsource your entire internal purchasing group and can even outsource parts of your AP department (saving you money with lower headcounts).

Yeah, I definitely know the qualms that title companies have and honestly they do the most work of anyone in this field. However, just small stuff like not having the HUD ready even at the closing is just really annoying...........or when they dont' cut checks to the different payoffs in time and then appraisers or whatever come knocking on our door thinking its our fault they aren't paid yet when we have no control over the dispursement of funds.


Funds can only be dispursed from escrow once the deed has been recorded with the respective county...which is what my job is.

It's definitely a domino effect. Everyone ties into it and has their thing to bitch about.
