There is a digital media manager job open the last time I checked in my old place of employ.

Most of the useless old guard is gone.

I’d apply just to get a call by hopefully one of the people I dislike to my private and large office that technician me occupies just to hang up.

The job a jumped up version of what I used to do. That horrid Louth is probably still in use.

I enjoyed irking my techno-illiterate idiot boss, the demented wanna be boss, and the friend of the veteran (which he wasn’t then) and other stuffed shirts with my drudge job in Louth land.

I used mixed case which was easier to read and the only person who did. It drove the morons nuts and also showed how much more I did than every one else.

Admittedly, I used a cheat of sorts. 95% of the stuff I had to stripe or ingest had the same titles. The series codes were the only thing that changed. I had a list built in Notepad. None of them had enough brains to look for it.

The rest could not understand copy and paste. Idiot actually accused me of being the source of problems using notepad instead of typing over and over.

This was the same guy who would click the same error box for an hour. It was NT4 based and used cheap Compaqs at the stations. The PCs weren’t even consistent as for specs. They varied greatly.

I had 0 faith in Louth automation. It’s just behind Lotus Notes in terms of loathing in my case.

It can pay a lot more and the commute is a lot less though.

The thought of outcast me being an upper echelon position sounds fun. I think a few middle types would contemplate suicide before listening to me.

I don’t fit the mold since I didn’t spend 4 years in USC Media arts. I went to a tech college and used my last GI Bill money on a diploma program in TV.

Tech colleges do a darn good job with giving a technical underpinning. They’re thorough and practical and people who get through them know what they’re doing.
