8. I like my boss, but the job itself leaves something to be desired.
My job has changed a lot since I got hired. Changed for the worse. But, I have a job, and there are a lot of people who don't. So, I'll keep an eye open for a different state job, and hope for the best.

31. Technical Support Rep
slash, data engineer, Database specialist, IT specialist, network admin, webspace support, traffic engineer, and technical trainer. I am underpaid for what they lay on my plate, yet I am always told I am not doing my job. Yet when it comes for promotion time they promote someone I have trained and has far less experience than me. You know I am beginning to think it is the wheelchair.
