Thanks all =)

Post #67,712 by DestroyAllEvil 12/9/02 11:26:00 PM Reply	Thanks all =) I actually had to do some work at work today, but I'll definitely stick around. I have a meaningless dead end tech job, I like to discuss politics/tech/science, and I raise lizards. I promise I won't do much damage. =) thanks, A "We're one nation under God, we stand above the rest. Our mighty high technology is never second best." -Bad Religion

Someone told me that Kuro5hin has banned his IP from their server. But there are ways around that. I think perhaps that Kuro5hin is having server hiccups right now and poor Orion is confused. "Connection Refused" errors could mean anything right now. I just chatted with him on Yahoo and he seems to think that K5 and IWETHEY are out to get him. What have you guys done to him to make him so upset?

Seesh, I think you took some things out of context like some of these guys. *My [link\|http://pub75.ezboard.com/bantiiwethey\|Board] is not cruel, sorry about yours.*

Post #68,345 by orion 12/12/02 8:09:47 AM Reply	The most obvious and also the most hated. But I am trying to get by, and Scott did invite me back after I took a short vacation from IWETHEY and helped to form ANTIIWETHEY. Did you know that 1/3rd of adults in the USA suffer from a form of depression? So why should we be stereotyped and hated?

Post #68,544 by mhuber 12/12/02 11:35:13 PM Reply	I don't think so For a while there, I had one of my happy pills as my picture. I've discussed my mood noire here from time to time. And it is often obvious in my posts, mostly in political stuff. I don't hide it. But I recognize my problems as my own, I keep my whining to a minimum, and my first response to a suggestion is to look for ways to apply it, not reasons why it won't work. Perhaps that's why I'm not persecuted. ---- Whatever

Post #67,980 by mhuber 12/10/02 9:54:15 PM Reply	Meaningless dead end tech jobs pay money. Several of us here are in the market for a meaningless dead end tech job... Enjoy. ---- Whatever

Post #68,035 by orion 12/11/02 12:55:04 AM Reply	Tough job market out there but then deSitter, you should know, with the H1B Visa Workers taking our jobs, and the greedy MegaCorps laying off IT people at the first sign of a bad economy, or profession is kind of having a hard time right now. For the past decade I have supported Microsoft technologies. I have done Visual BASIC programming, I have done SQL Server, Crystal Reports, Active Server Pages, etc. I am sick and tired of it all. We are just a "Dime a dozen" sub-human trolls to management out there, that can be replaced with a $35,000USD a year H1B Visa Worker or recent college graduate who just quit his/her burger flipping job. Nobody wants us seasoned vetrans who used to earn $50,0000 to $90,000 a year at a "dead-end" IT job and did nice quality work. They would rather get the $35,000USD Hadji or Ex-Burger Flipper to replace us. :( *My [link\|http://pub75.ezboard.com/bantiiwethey\|Board] is not cruel, sorry about yours.*

One of the top headhunters in town has me streamlining their spreadsheets - nobody is getting hired. Costume shop is the only company I know of that is thriving. Maybe it will start generating take-home income soon... ---- Whatever
Post #68,778 by Ashton 12/13/02 6:33:46 PM Reply	May be an excellent plan After all, when people are in a [economic too] war, they most crave diversion. Even in the [last..] US Depression - people could scrape up 5\ufffd for a movie. Any brilliant ideas for getting your shop noticed? Hmmm.. parties given by/for Goths say? Hook up with a caterer - go in style and shill your shop! Cheers, Ashton
