Around here that is gonna be hard because we are so hilly but I am game to watch you try. :) Ride, Shift, and Die.

This is simply a difference in vision. I expected this experience to be something it's clearly not. Again, I don’t fault anyone in the process. This is simply a difference in vision.

This advice coming from the guy with a blog called CEOhno must seem really hilarious. Look at the alternatives though you could have been working at Boeing a place where they hire too many bodies during expansion periods and have mass layoffs. The reliance on contingent, temporary, or short term staff protects the rights of employees not eliminates them. They are doing you and all their employees a favor not by focusing on exponential growth but realistic employment practices. One group can get it wrong within a large company this doesn’t mean that company is terrible just that group is. It just sucks when you end up on the short end of that behavior.

]]> Comment on A vaccum cleaner, of all things. by Great Grumpy Z http://slide-rule.dimension-4.net/2008/02/25/a-vaccum-cleaner-of-all-things/comment-page-1/#comment-3 Great Grumpy Z Tue, 26 Feb 2008 23:48:01 +0000 http://slide-rule.dimension-4.net/2008/02/25/a-vaccum-cleaner-of-all-things/#comment-3 A thought about vacuum cleaners: Have you considered that their dust bags are a virtual "piggy bank"? Anything that is left on the floor and goes unnoticed before vacuuming, is sucked up into the machine's innards, where, to retrieve those "treasures", one must sort through the dust, lint and debris for which the vacuum cleaner was designed to pick up in the first place. A "real inventor" would have designed the vacuum cleaner to separate the coinage of the realm before depositing said loot into the dust bag with the flotsam. Surely with the differences in density and all that, it shouldn't have been such an onerous task -- should it?
