| Today's Headline... I'M STRAIGHT |

Doing my daily thumb-through of MSNBC, I ran across the headline that Dumbledore (of Harry Potter fame) is gay. Now, I am not a Harry Potter fan, so, my first reaction was, "Who cares? He's a work of fiction." But, I began caring after reading on. What caught my attention was that the audience in attendance reacted in a very - in my opinion - inappropriate way. They gasped... then they cheered. CHEERED? Why the bloody 'ell are they cheering because a fictional character is gay? Would they cheer if they found out that he was straight? To test that question, I would like to announce in full view of the public... I AM STRAIGHT! What? Where's my applause? Is there nothing to cheer about concerning my heterosexual-ness? Why not? And what is there to cheer about concerning Dumbledore's coming out? If ANYBODY can explain this with a level of intelligence, please do. The floor is yours. +ruined |

It seems technology department managers have lost touch with reality. These people put in a place of leadership have absolutely no clue about the sector of business they have been trusted to lead. And they make a killing! See, I have been unemployed for about 5 months, now. On a weekly basis, I've been cranking out 40 resumes to various places... just hoping to find a position. In my job search, a common and annoying theme I run into is an ad similar to the following: NETWORK ADMINISTRATOR: Entry level position! Must have 20-30 years of experience in the following: hardware break/fix, programming in the following languages - C, C++, Basic, Visual Basic, Visual Basic For Applications, Visual Basic Script, JavaScript, Java, Decafinated Java, Mocha, Hot Chocolate, Pascal, Fortran, and Sanscrit. Must love people, must have patience, and must love long walks on the beach by moonlight. Experience with building nuclear reactors a plus. Salary between $5.50 and $7.50 depending on experience. Reply by e-mailing clueless_manager@bigbusin ess.blah. I'm serious about this... they claim it's an entry level position, but yet they expect you to have a master's and a life time worth of experience, expect you to have thorough knowledge of everything from hardware to how to program, and they want to pay you pennies. Note to managers... if you want to hire talent (or want to keep the talent you have on staff), get a clue! Open the wallets, understand that most people have specialties - hardware or programming - and rarely know how to do both with a high level of expertice. And if you are a manager who can't understand that, perhaps you should try managing something a little more your speed. Like Taco Bell. +dharvell |

I am moving my blog to my own domain. For those of you who wish to keep up with me, stop by and visit me at: Screw The Giant. I created Screw The Giant, originally, to battle big tech companies like Microsoft, but it has become an outlet, for me. A new area for me to blog without the hassle of rules and having to follow certain protocol. Stop by and visit me, sometime. I'd love to hear from you all! +ruined Over and out... |
