How to not impress me…

ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

When you work for a consulting company and are looking to recruit me, please, by all means, ignore everything that is on my online profile about how I’m not looking for a temporary position, argue with me about what a “temporary” position means, (“No no, this is a six month contract and then they might want to hire you.” How is that not a temp position?) and be chewing gum so loudly that I have to struggle just to understand what the hell you’re saying anyway. That will absolutely make me want to work for your company! Grr…

Of course I could also complain about the fact that you can see what I do now, what makes you think I want to sit at a help desk and answer phones all day long?

    Yeah I had to take the referrer script down again. At least now I know why the results keep stretching the table width to ridiculous proportions. If a website does not specify a page name, the script prints out the entire URL. Since there’s no space in the URL the table doesn’t try to wrap…

    Next week we’re having a Board meeting. Normally, we have our Board meetings onsite, which I hate. I always end up having to help one Board member or other check their email using their laptop, and our network, and then making sure I reset all their network settings before they leave and can never get…

  • Ohio…

    I saw on the news where they think the big blackout started somewhere near Cleveland. Now, as any good Ohio resident can tell you, Cleveland fully deserved it’s nickname (the mistake on the lake) long before this event occurred, but it somehow does seem fitting, doesn’t it? BTW, some of the reasons Cleveland is known…

    Good morning! I spent a good chunk of last night setting up the comments for my Brother-in-Law’s wedding site. It wasn’t terribly difficult and my wife appreciated it, which makes the effort worthwhile, in my book. :). Someone at work found a dead bat laying on the top of a box of invoices in our…

  • Challenge-Response

    This story is an interesting look at the anti-spam “challenge-response” technique, which is now being offered to all Earthlink customers. I think it raises good points, especially when it comes to mailing lists being inundated with challenges. Personally, if I’m on a mailing list and I get a challenge from one of the members of…
