LOL When I was 35, I was fit enough for football and the world was my buffet. Now I'm 52. The world's not only conquered me, it's got my head on a pike outside the gates. Quick story on outsourcing: About a dozen years ago, I was in between gigs and got picked up as an internal help desk analyst for a regional telecom firm - one of the 'Baby Bells'. I was told it was contract-to-perm. After a few weeks there, I discovered
I was misled.. I was brought in to backfill for some of the IT staff who were getting ready to fly to India for a month to train their own replacements. Yep, imagine being outsourced and forced to train the guy taking your job as a condition of severance pay. Well, I started to circulate my resume again, locked onto a good onsite gig, and they day before I left, they had to scuttle the whole outsourcing deal because the group they hired in India quit en masse after being trained and took jobs with another IT firm across the street! LOLOL Karma is a bitch, and she had PMS that week. I just smiled at management as I left with a look like, "Cheerio, SUCKERS!" LOL
