And .. are chefs real jobs ...? . The chef cooks it. You mean is being a waiter a real job. Yes. Until the all go with the hole in the wall thing.... That might not work in fancy restaurants though..... Not real jobs happen all the time: 1. Lamplighter 2. Iceman 3. Gong farmer ( gong farmers had the smelly task of emptying the sewage pits and transporting the waste away.) 4. Compositor Some about to be: Toll Booth Operator Retail Cashier Word Processor / Typist Switchboard Operator Photo Finisher Postal Worker Video Store Clerk Print Journalist	pctek (84)

Photo Finisher - with my interest in photography. The corner lab / printer doesn't cut it for real stuff. Surely wedding works aren't really done there. So they are highly regarded in their field.

1367531	2014-02-14 06:41:00	I'm still waiting for a app to do some "real work". Heres the short list: Finish painting the house, relay the driveway, continual weeding of garden, mow the laws every week. Now when they make an app to do all those I'll be happy :D	wainuitech (129)
1367532	2014-02-14 06:58:00	My bro seems stuck in getting a iPad or iPad Mini this year when someone goes overseas. I think it's the fashion appeal. The gibberish of Retina Display, macho 64bit A7 processor etc .. I think that he would just do informal emails on the iPad, I myself seem to get emails when people write a long paragraph just with their Samsung Galaxy S3/4 :D Probably do the odd word processor on the iPad too I think he would.

I have found that I can type many times faster on the new unit then I could on my older tablet. And being able to add photos into the document while I'm out in the field is studiedly efficient. I throw a signature onto the document using the stylus I then just slide the completed document into dropbox and its waiting for me back in the office. During meetings we can make notes on the PDFs that cover the site, then just send em to the printer and everyone gets a copy on the spot, Like wise the minutes from previous meetings I just open up and add notes to. The supervisors can now carry there full set of 250 plans and look them up in minute details while standing on any spot on the site. When I open up the cover I'm presented with my calender, the time, and note pad to scribble on. Jesus ****, add in my 180 albums, a half dozen movies, my email and a browser and god ****ing damn we got some sweet sweet **** goin on.	Metla (12)
1367536	2014-02-14 07:52:00	And best of all, No apple **** in sight. Idiotic IT company held the process up for months as every time I said table something that isn't an apple, they tabled an ipad.	Metla (12)
1367537	2014-02-14 07:53:00	I wish my employers would read this thread. They want us to be poncing around with tablets instead of paper records. Problem is the software looks like it's from the DOS era, and is seriously under-developed from the point of view of actually being a time saver for the crew. Trying to reference a previous record involves leaving the current record, going to the appointment screen, then searching backwards for previous appointments that match the name of... "oh, who are you again - I've had to leave your screen to find your earlier record, and now I can't remember who you are". And if there's notes made say from a face to face or phone call that wasn't preceeded by an appointment... well good luck ever finding that! But they don't care about our time or efficiency, they want it to look cool first, and then they'll nag about the dropping efficiency a month later. Corporates suck soooo badly! And app developers need to get out of their cubes and spend a few days at the coal face learning why their great ideas are sh!t in the real work environment. Happy, happy, joy, joy.	Paul.Cov (425)

You certainly answered my question then, Metla. :thumbs: It would seem that people can get a whole lot of "real work" done at work on a tablet or device of their choice. Apparently all it needs is some alteration of old work habits :)	Webdevguy (17166)
