My spellcheck still doesn’t think “Obama” is a word.

If so the best job in the world will be the guy who programs those computers.

Think: “e-Verify,” and be afraid, very afraid.

Perhaps it will not recognize any profanity as a word.

Indeed. I’ve never seen any data to prove “diversity” is a positive factor in a businesses performance.

Nope, all the standards check out, F word, S word. LOL. It suggests “Bamako”, “Alabama”, “Mamba”, “Bahama”, “Abeam”, and “Obadias”.

Back in 2008 my tagline was “Spellcheck hates Obama and so should you” or something like that.

I could add him to list of words with the click of a mouse but deliberately never have.

Apparently I've got a good resume. I never HAVE to apply for a job. I get three to ten pitches of people coming to me trying to hire me, every single week.

Well, goody for you!

And how are things in the fast-food industry?

;-)

Regards,

Suuuuure - the old "it's who counts the votes" meme would be replaced by "it's who programs the computer"....

I realize this isn't about elections...........yet, but it struck me as a step in that direction.

Now for a short public service announcement to all on FR:
I prefer Cruz and my money goes to his campaign, hence the Cruz link. If you like someone else, donate to him/her (find your own link to do it) and if you use FR and don't donate, then please don't complain about the welfare leeches or those who have Obama Phones because, functionally, you are no different than any other FReeloader

PS - If you are one of those who cannot afford even a small donation to FR or a candidate, God Bless and happy FReeping!.....

GO CRUZ!! Keep it up Trump!!

Donate to FR

Donate to Cruz

Donate to FR

The most important thing that computers don’t understand is THE WORK ETHIC!

The problem is people lie. They will cheat on the answers, BS their way through interviews.

Upper management hired a guy for me at my last place of work. I interviewed him and found him to be dumb. The boss said he had excellent references. He was hired and turned out not just to be incompetent, but a trouble maker. I called his former co-workers and it appeared they all lied just to get rid of him.

My point is there is no perfect way to get help. What needs to be done is streamline ways to fire the poor ones.

Sorry guys, that sounded real egotistical and self-important.

And a perfect, skilled, intelligent and handsome man like me, that can get a new job in 24 hours should I deign to grace a new place with my presence... should never behave like that.

No problem the programmer can add the race card and it will all be normal.

Computers can also be programmed to accept the person who has the most demographic check boxes per the day’s political correctness standards, regardless of abrasive personality or hatred of everyone else.
Then you have TRUE institutional racism, when the person who has white and male checked off never gets hired per the hiring algorithm.

“But Laz. . .not everyone is a gigolo like you. . .”

I didn’t want to say anything but I HAVE noticed that Lazamataz and Duece Bigalow both have the same number of syllables. Has anyone ever seen them together?
