It never fails! Register at a job site, or try to get your resume out as much as possible and then just watch the number of “Work from Home” offers and “Great financial opportunity” spams come rolling in, including some that try to hide as legit responses to your resume. But they’re pretty easy to find anyway, usually they involve either responding to a yahoo address for more information about their company, or mailing a check to a PO Box in California for “job hunting services”. Yeah well, given that you don’t have your own email domain, nor a physical address, I’m not dumb enough to think you actually have anything to offer me. 🙂

The RIAA and major media is trying to kill internet…

    Just a typical IT day, you’re trying to reconfigure a machine and get it moved, as an improvement for one of your users, but you get sidetracked when your boss comes running into your office, accounting reports falling out of her hands, asking you to investigate a missing payment from the database!
