It usually takes both the people and the job together for me to hate the job. If the job is great but the people aren't, I can work with that. If the people are great but the job sucks, then I find value in that. But both? Ugh. I left a job after one week recently because of that combination (mind you, two of the three people were great, but the important person, the PM, was awful, and he's the one that counted.)

I started at a new company 3 weeks ago and I'm considering leaving. They're too busy to give me something to sink my teeth into, and not being productive makes me utterly miserable.
Even a bad project is better than being forced to try and look busy because you're new at the job

That's one of the reasons why I left the job after a week. I was told to bill 40 hours a week. There wasn't the work to support that. I don't mind fudging a little (after all, one ends up putting in 70+ hours sometimes) but this was absolutely ridiculous.
Still, gift horse and all that. I just couldn't ethically do it though.

Ethics! Sucks to have them  I wonder if it skips a generation because sometimes seems as if it missed the Millennials.

It's not the people I work with that annoy me. It's the few customers who seem to call multiple times every week with the oddball scenarios that need special attention that make me hate the job sometimes...like today.

I work in this place with a guy called
Member 9244203 and he makes me hate my job

I hate my job but not because of the people I work with. I hate it because of the totally asinine coding rules that I am forced to comply with. Team lead is a nice person but bullheaded and claims the customer we work for will not permit any changes to the rules for us but yet the customer regularly ignore their own rules.

It's not just you - some people who work alone feel the same way.

Sometimes I felt bored of my workplace.
Programmer is only me and other people are sales and management.
I'm younger in my team and sometimes my worker is too old.
It's hard to communicate with them.
I have been worked for 3 years in window programming..
Thesedays, I got slump and lose interest.

what do you call a sting that holds a file path together with the file name itself
e.g. C:\Folder\Directory\myFile.txt
And what do you call just the file name?
e.g. myFile.txt
And what about just the name of the folder the file is in?
e.g. C:\Folder\Directory
I never seem to be consistent - I think we need a new word (or am I missing something?)

Filepath:
C:\Folder\Directory\myFile.txt
Filename:
myFile.txt
Folderpath, or path:
C:\Folder\Directory

I would change that slightly:

Complete Filename:

Originally folder is a logical term where used much before computers, where directory is the physical place on the storage and came to use with computers...

There is no folder; only directories.

The first two are basically the same thing: both of them let you find a file. One is relative and one is absolute but in most cases you don't care about that. I/O methods will accept either and do the right thing.
If you do care then I'd call the first either filePath or absoluteFilename.

Lordy lord, what sort of systems are you working on?

You forgot relative path, for example: ./bin/debug

They aren't folders they are directories. It should still be called FileManager, not Windows' Explorer.
A pox upon whoever made those UI decision.

Absolutely. Directories are EXACTLY right, as the directory is jsut a collection of pointers to the files within - whereas the folder metaphor implies the physical existence of the files within the folder, which is drivel and rot.
If anything, a disk drive should be a folder, containing directories of files.
But we are victims of the dumbing down of It and, in most cases, it doesn't matter to the user who (lets be honest) call their monitor their computer and the computer their hard drive!

Exactly! Also More Like An Index Or Catalog. A Document May have links From Many Directories. Try That With Folders!!
