Comment Re:Wow. (Score 2) 1008

Thank you! As a man who has taken work in a warehouse picking and packing food I appreciate that someone knows that we actually are proud of what we do. I can run servers, have owned my own business (Internet cafes are so the thing of the past) and have worked in a management position. REAL work, however, happens at the bottom. I'm in better shape than I have been since I was 23 years old, and management has me working on a morale boosting program to keep the workers as happy as possible while still getting the work done. This is a company I can work for, and respect. Hell, I'm bottom rung and they address me a Mr. {LastName}.

Wow. Good company. I'm betting Apple is close to if not in that same category. Are there any Apple guys out there that can give us insight into what it's _really_ like to work there, or would you get sued?

I've been using the same username for well over a decade now. I've also, in that time realized that common sense is surprisingly uncommon. I use noscript and adblock plus and erase cookies when I close my browser. I also have to do a bunch of upkeep on my spam filter. The folks who dont have the "common sense" to use these things are my bread and butter.

Some of them also make a big whackload more on their pay than I do.

"The extreme cold there puts ice on the runways, and that of course has to be got rid off for airplanes to take off. That’s where things get badass; they use Klimov VK-1 jet engines from Mig-15 planes, or engines from Mig-17s to thaw the ice. You know, it gets pretty impressive when an engine from a fighter jet gets to work as a snow blower."

Dude, I'd work that job.

Don't they have rock salt where you guys come from? Forgive me, I'm Canadian, but shovel the driveways, use salt on the walkways, and hire guys with trucks and CATs to push the snow outta the way.

`Course, taxes might pop up a notch to pay for those guys to work.

Comment LAMP and desktop (Score 1) 366

Fengoffice, MyClientBase, and important todonow stuff is on the desktop until it gets finished and filed. When the desktop gets too full of junk (three columns is my max) that's the signal to stop starting new and get to finishing up open projects.

As for personal stuff, I have a /home/me/mycrap directory that is chock full of stuff from the last ten years that is organized somewhat like a chimp throws feces. I leaf through it every now and again, but organized it aint..

I just read this book in its entirety in the space of about 36 hours, and it addresses just this (problem?) situation. Excellent read. Extremely basic synopsis: Lack of structured rites of passage for modern adolescent/child males results in immature adult males.

Dr. Moore goes into a little more detail.

Don't you mean Jonathan Leibowitz?

The guy hates his own name and his proud heritage.

That post is wrong on several levels. Jonathan Stuart Leibowitz is his name, and using his middle name instead of his last name makes sense the moment you hear the title "The Daily Show with Jon Leibowitz". As for his heritage, have you watched any of his shows? He is a very openly jewish guy.

Wait, did I just take trollbait?
