We have thrown it away; and with it all that was really respectable about that grotesque and laughable word, Patriotism. - Mark Twain, "Monarchical and Republican Patriotism"

(In fact I strongly suspect that I'm probably better qualified than you are, and I know that I'm not qualified.) If you care to prove me wrong, you know how to do it. If you don't care, then don't. But if you don't try and in the future ever dare claim that you were qualified, my opinion of you will drop even farther than it has already.

Post #148,304 by orion 3/24/04 7:54:06 PM Reply	You may be right but I find it odd that your opinion of me can drop any lower. I admit that I am not qualified, I need a refresher course anyway. *"Lady I only speak two languages, English and Bad English!" - Corbin Dallas "The Fifth Element"*
Post #148,354 by ben_tilly 3/24/04 9:32:51 PM Reply	Not odd at all You haven't yet struck me as someone who would push an unfounded claim to skills that evidence suggests you lack. Therefore it is clearly possible for you to worsten the opinion that I have of you. And I described above one way you could do it. If you did that, you still wouldn't have hit bottom. For instance I don't have the impression that you are an abusive person, prone to inflicting violence on people around you. And so my opinion can go lower. There really isn't a worst possible opinion that I can hold of someone. There are even ways that I'm supportive of George Bush. (eg I believe that he has a good memory for people. I may not like how he uses that ability, but I think that he has it.)

I got A+ in both my C and Advanced C classes over 15 years ago, but now have a hard time writing simple C programs. Could be due to my mental illness and medical conditions, could be due to not using them in the past 6 or 7 years. Even my Visual BASIC skills have suffered a bit since 2001. I thought, hey maybe I could apply for a job and see what happens. Guess I am not qualified for any job then. Recent postings from others to me have knocked my confidence level down really low and I am not sure if I can do anything anymore. *"Lady I only speak two languages, English and Bad English!" - Corbin Dallas "The Fifth Element"*
Post #148,543 by ben_tilly 3/25/04 2:34:24 PM Reply	Your confidence level is your problem. I'm not going to coddle your past behaviour or current problems. I'm just pointing out that very few around here have much patience with people who claim to have a lot of skills that they don't. We're pretty good at noticing BS. We've all been burned by it. And we see no reason to accept it.

So is having everything I do questioned, probed, examined, overanalyzed, misdiagnosed, and having conclusions jumped to. I just am unable to do any job, or describe or communicate what I know to anyone's satisfaction. *"Lady I only speak two languages, English and Bad English!" - Corbin Dallas "The Fifth Element"* Edited by orion March 25, 2004, 06:46:49 PM EST Expand All History
