You like ships. You don't seem to be looking at the destinations. What you care about is the ships, and mine's the nicest.

Our UK and Canada offices are closed Friday and Monday, but not the US. It is VERY unfair.

But you guys get to deal with private insurance instead of the government for health care and you can acquire handguns more easily so it all balances out.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

So... you're saying I should threaten HR with a gun until they give us a 4-day weekend?

hip deep in pie

I think y'all should have Friday off at the very least.

Kiva, the micro-lending non-profit, has a couple of tech job openings in SF, CA - Software engineer and product manager - in case people know of folk in that area looking for work. It's a non-profit so pay will be low, but they seem to be a great organization.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

Wasn't bossnapping basically the plot of 9 to 5 ?

I've been seeing this story about the hijacked ship and let me tell you I don't like modern day pirates. They are ruining the whole pirate thing. Pirates are supposed to talk funny, wear eye patches and parrots, and sometime fight ninjas where obviously the pirates would win. These guys with the little boats, assault rifles, and RPGs need to be called Aquathugs or something. By RPGs I mean they carry Rocket Propelled Grenades, not that they are carrying around 4th edition player handbooks though I suppose there could be some overlap.
