A friend's tale from the job hunting front today ...

Kerry writes: "Job hunting is such a DRAG. The Internet-world is inundated with pathetic web-based submission portals that ask all the most inane questions (what is your ultimate goal in life?), so that some bozo can use a relational database to cull through applicants without doing anything but filtering: 'give me all the people who have OS/390 experience and Perl and also list hedonism as their hobby...'
What a crock. They would turn down the Pope for a job because he didn't fill in the survey 'just right'. Driving a city bus is starting to look like a good option ..."

Heh. Kerry's got a point there. Somebody give that man a job.
