Gaming and working from RV

DD and SIL moved in last winter, he is a gamer (or thinks he is)
He bemoaned our lack of high speed internet (we had satellite) which after he burned through 16 Gigs updating his garbage, he found out it still wouldn't work. So he bought a new phone and plan from ATT.
Verizon here was only giving about 3 Mgbps, so a contract for an additional $100 or so a month netted him a contracted phone with 16-30 Mbps, which still doesn't work.

As an aside 5 months and he still isnt working, because he is holding out for an IT job so he wont have to work long hours , nights, or weekends.

I've got an 8-5 it job, but in addition to the 8-5, I get to work other times, like last night after my 8-5, I got to go back from 11pm to 3am, and I get to do it again tonight, and I still get to do my 8-5 tomorrow. But I will say my boss is cool and is fine when I leave early. In this economy,

if you can't find a job in 5 months, you don't want to work.

I don't care who you are, but THAT is the most funniest thing I have heard of..

I've been in IT for 30 years.
Just pulled an allnighter and a weekender when the "stuff" hit the fan.

That boy needs a reality check.

Dutch.... What Verizon plan are you on? We want one...

Yep, updates were always the most fun, they all install the same except for that one.......!!!:S

I was in IT since 1983, back then remote support was talking someone at the location through key strokes!
Later I recall helping on an update night for European stores while on a 3 hour layover in Chicago O'Hare!

He has a three monitor setup and custom comp, and is dying because someone he knows supposedly is making several thousand a month by streaming his online play. And Jordan thinks he is better, so he can make more.
But when I started looking into editing software for video, he admitted he didn't know anything about them and had no interest in learning any.
Did finally get him to apply for a single job after 700+ movies he watched on his phone during the last 5 months, and he starts selling cars next week.
