If you had one job that you do, that you never had to do again what would you choose?
For me, it would be building members area layouts, i really hate doing them.
Ive been working on a new layout for the past few weeks and everytime i think i have it right, i find something that either doesnt work or, doesnt look right when it comes to testing them out.
So what one job would you never do again if you could?
Regards,
Lee
Making “dummy sites” every week to drive traffic to my members site, categorizing pics sucks too :frown:
Baby-sitting, 'adults' --- I simply hate having to constantly remind others what is in the CORPORATION'S best interests, especially when it is not mine!
The repetitive jobs are a breeze and I can do them with my eyes closed, hands cuffed behind my back, while slurping away, hard, on a beautifully oversized J!
Second, would be collecting detailed stats, especially when sponsors/programs do not offer control (ability to pick date range; view referring URLS; rebills; earnings etc), or worse, when they force you to navigate through multiple links simply to collect what should be given to you on ONE PAGE!
Okay, so why do I have to go to this link for rebills, that link for flat rate, another link for recurring ... web master referrals etc.
Third, would be wondering if it is worth sending traffic to a sponsor that does not include details on cheques stubs (period, sponsor's name - not the corp's name - etc).
Making out with all those hot guys at conventions and parties.
Such a chore.:jasun:
For me, honestly, it's all the egos I have to deal with. All the people who create chaos and drama in the industry. I'm continually amazed at how petty and childish people who are old enough to know better can be when it comes to porn. All the industry wars and personality clashes bore me to tears, and I honestly just want to laugh at anyone who takes part in any of it.
What to do with all that money.....

writing text. BLEAH!

Waiting for a job. The writing part isn't hard unless I just get writer's block from the idiots I have to deal with at my other job.
I think I need to start experimenting with other writing styles. *le sigh*
dealing with hackers, ddos attacks, floods, etc. I just hate it, it wastes so much resources, both server and human. I wish these people would stop for a minute and think that maybe if they put that much time and effort into a real job they can afford their own membership or server instead of trying to freeload and hack into someone elses.

Well, this has to be one for the record books.....Last night we were filming. In order to get the "upshot", I'm laying on the floor beneath two guys in the sling....things are going well.......camera is focused and steady, getting a really great shot and all of a sudden the top pulls out....the bottom (politely as I can say it)....."passes gas" and about a gallon (or so it seemed) of lube and butt juice shoots out of his butt directly onto the camera lens, my hair and my face! Not the best position to be in, laying on the floor with with all of that dripping off me and the camera:cry: The worst part is that the other two cameramen are laughing their heads off and the behind the scenes camera caught it all. And...to answer your questions before they are asked, no, it's never gonna appear in our bloopers section.:cry:
Next to that, I'd say it's all the spam we have to deal with on a daily basis.
Sheesh...got to be a better way to make a living

LOL thank you for sharing that! I so needed a laugh right now... Poor Bill (((Hugs))).Quote:

Oh Bill, how horrible. But honestly, I just about covered my screen in coffee. Oh dear. Well, I guess that's one porn star who won't be asked back for a shoot any time real soon.
Mine would have to be resizing, cropping, and optimizing images. HATE IT, HATE IT, HATE IT.
Michael
Baby sitting those responsible for cropping and resizing preview pix for our tours and responding to innane email.
Bill, poor poor poor you!!! That is absolutely disgusting and yet impossible to not laugh at.
Submitting, Submitting, Submitting...
I also used to run a small TGP, and am planning on starting one up again, and I hate approving submissions for hours on end. Hopefully I should have some help next time around!:bomb:
Dealing with stoooopid users that send broken english emails in all caps.
and those fuckin dodgy webmasters with stolen cards that just keep signing up again and again with different details, even after we have shutdown their last 10 accounts and told them to fuck off :bomb:

Oh well guess it's part of the job if you want to get those really good close up shots that our customers seem to demand.
Bill
In this order:
Buying content!
Updating websites!
When I'm porn RICH, I'm gona hire the most tasty staff to do those two tasks!
I spend 2 hours looking at dicks yesterday. Boy I GOT to be The Most heterosexual Woman in the World, or I'd have been nibblin' nubbin' by now!
:cute:

the one that most directly effects me would be "editing" my work for "community standards" (not that i have a problem being told what to do) which seem to change almost on a daily basis and from country to country.

As they say, "sh*t happens", thank God it wasn't!:eek: It's just part of the biz.
Bill
Oh my god Bill... too hilarious :P tragic :cry: disgusting :ill: for words! I guess we know what camera angle you won't be shooting anymore.
Here is a behind the scenes shot that Bill said we'd never see... :egg:

I know I have no room to bitch about anything now but of course I will. I hate having to dodge all the shit that comes down from the government. Everytime Bush gets in trouble, (which is everyday) some new porn bust comes public or some other issue that trashes our industry. Fuck them, I'm so sick of them. Let them blow smoke up someones elses ass..
That's what Bill should have done!Quote:

All kidding aside, where do I start? How about dealing with the crystal meth freaks and crack heads that show up (or don't show up) for the shoot, wigged out paranoid and all shriveled up - resulting in rescheduling nightmares and production problems - all I can say is that I ain't pretty when I get MAD!
Not a problem if I were filming a remake of VALLEY OF THE DOLLS! - but that's not on the production schedule yet!
Oh THE things I have backspaced over! Hello handsome. :cute:Quote:

For me its paying bills. ugh I hate it
