Pretty fuckin sneaky.
Your icon is disturbingly hypnotic.
That means it’s working.
I got the older version of that that they are open about the “if you don’t sell lots, we don’t pay you” rule
We need to grab a coffee to a) chat more and b) get me my spare keys back. :p
What’re your plans for the weekend?
Doing stuff Saturday eveing, poll and maybe the fight, but beyond that nothing.
So did you like my demo?
Enough talk. WHY AREN’T WE KILLING THE LOCUST HORDES?!?!?!
;p
I now get my hydro through a secondary company because the guy who came to my door was from Denmark, and therefore charming somehow.
Anyway, I just wanted to say that “You’re even dumber than you think I think you are” is my favourite thing I’ve read on the internet all day.
Hey, I got that spam!
Here was my response to them:
Greetings:
Although I am seeking employment, I am looking for skilled technical jobs, in environments like R&D, IT and technical support, not in retail or sales. If you are looking for someone to either manage Unix systems, plan network infrastructures, perform Threat-Risk Analysis and penetration (Tigerteam) testing, please let me know. Otherwise, please do not contact me.
Respectfully,
I think that guy runs this operation out of an apartment in the apartment buildings I used to live in. super sketch
Similar things have been happening to me recently. In the span of about a week I received 3 phone calls asking me to come in to interview for “financial advisor/consultant” positions. I guess because I work in Hospitality they think I’d make a good sales rep.
I might but you’ll never catch me working for those evil bastards.
That’s hilarious!
btw: just logging into lj for the first time since the party (crazy busy)…. Adding you back and sorry for being slow ; p
