Comment Re:Tell it to the plastic clown (Score 1) 837

YEAH! Tell that to my dentist and their entire office staff. Not to mention all the people working at the hospital, nuclear plants, oh and don't forget the financial advisors and sales professionals who *have* to wear suits into the office. You are ALL JUST A BUNCH OF BLUE COLLAR WORKERS!

Who cares. It's a job and in this economy that is saying a lot. If you don't want to wear it express your concerns in a logical though out manner without saying it's demeaning.

Comment Headhunters (Score 5, Insightful) 344

I have owned a recruiting firm (sold it because I miss working in technology) and can tell you that most headhunters do not ever have your interest in mind. They are trying to fill a slot and make a commission from the company, no more. With the current economy you as a job seeker / contractor is a commodity that is fairly easy to find right now and will pass you over pretty quickly with little resistance unless you mean $$ to them.

There are all types of recruiting firms and you have to remember that they are trying to sell the contracting position twice.

1) You to the company
2) The company to you

The best advice I can give you is no matter what they tell you they are a sales people and to be cordial but always realize that they are there for one reason to place a body in position and reap the rewards. Also never put your eggs in one basket. Make contacts with many firms and find how/what fits for you.

I hope this helps!

Comment Skynet began to learn at a geometric rate. (Score 1) 598

Skynet began to learn at a geometric rate. It originally became self-aware on August 29th 1997 2:14 am Eastern Time. In the ensuing panic and attempts to shut Skynet down, Skynet retaliated by firing American nuclear missiles at their target sites in Russia. Russia returned fire and three billion human lives ended in the nuclear holocaust. This was what has come to be known as "Judgment Day"
