Improvise, adapt, overcome :o)
I got two in-hand offers in the ATL, with three more likely to drop next week. None in Utah, no.
Ah yes the old “switch on the final SQL procedure for the different final behavior”
Hello...this is Peggy.
Oh it isn’t just on the phone.....
I deal with Indians in this country and they do not understand the word no. They think you should cut the price on an item because then they will buy it. They will come back multiple times, always five minutes before the store closes. They will stay at least thirty minutes past closing hoping to wear you down.
They think everything is a bazaar. I don’t like dealing with any of them. They are pushy, rude, and arrogant.
I’m right there with you brother. If the recruiter has an indian name, I won’t even talk to them. Not worth the bump to my blood pressure. It could be the best job on the planet, but if they have stooped so low they are outsourcing the recruiting to those dumbfucks, I do NOT want to talk to them.
Not to put too fine an edge on it, but if you treat India natives like you would treat a twelve year old, you’ll get along. I shit you not.
You know that LAMP is just one of many frameworks in my skill set, right? There is a time and place for LAMP.
One should use the right tool for the right job. If LAMP isn’t the right toolset, I don’t use it.
On my current contract, I’m using Linux, AIX, bash & korn scripts, Tomcat, Oracle, SQL, Windows, Java, Javascript, XML, and good, old-fashioned, reliable, and efficient ‘C’.
Time again for the Mujibar joke:
Mujibar was trying to get a job in India ..
The Personnel Manager said, ‘Mujibar, you have passed all the tests, except one. Unless you pass it, you cannot qualify for this job.’
Mujibar said, ‘I am ready.’
The manager said, ‘Make a sentence using the words Yellow, Pink and Green.’
Mujibar thought for a few minutes and said, ‘Mister manager, I am ready’
The manager said, ‘Go ahead.’
Mujibar said, ‘The telephone goes green, green, and I pink it up, and say,’Yellow’, this is Mujibar.’
Mujibar now works at a call center.
I just fun at ya. It's kinda like the old Glock / 1911 .45 thing.... both sides still respect one another.
Btw, it's GLOCK ALL THE WAY
I carry Sig P229 Equinox in .40. Two actually.
Shoot Glock 30/.45 in IDPA.
Does this make a bad person?
Yes.
Yes, that makes you a bad person.
:)
I’m so bad, I’m so bad,
I’m bad, I’m bad, I’m bad.
(Apologies to Cream.)
In a retail setting one is not allowed to do that
In my shop, no one could tell the difference. Misfits, all. Nerf wars.
I thought you were channeling Michael Jackson!

from link:
A former international hostage negotiator for the FBI offers a new, field-tested approach to high-stakes negotiations—whether in the boardroom or at home.
After a stint policing the rough streets of Kansas City, Missouri, Chris Voss joined the FBI, where his career as a hostage negotiator brought him face-to-face with a range of criminals, including bank robbers and terrorists. Reaching the pinnacle of his profession, he became the FBI’s lead international kidnapping negotiator. Never Split the Difference takes you inside the world of high-stakes negotiations and into Voss’s head, revealing the skills that helped him and his colleagues succeed where it mattered most: saving lives. In this practical guide, he shares the nine effective principles—counterintuitive tactics and strategies—you too can use to become more persuasive in both your professional and personal life.
Life is a series of negotiations you should be prepared for: buying a car, negotiating a salary, buying a home, renegotiating rent, deliberating with your partner. Taking emotional intelligence and intuition to the next level, Never Split the Difference gives you the competitive edge in any discussion.
Cannot afford it right now, can you summarize the points here?
This is painfully true. Thanks for the laugh. I’m praying for your job situation.
Sometimes I tap on the phone with a pencil and tell them I have the Attorney General on the line and say, “Yes, this is the one I was telling you about”.
Ask them if their refrigerator is running.
I asked one where he was (India)...and if he was a terrorist trying to hack my computer.
