Did you see the sysadmin ad on my LJ?

Typical company insanity. Or maybe they just didn't like the shifty looks you were giving them.

protractors...

Know any? !@#$%^&*

My company's always on the lookout for fresh meat...er, blood...but we're up in sunny Brisbane, and you're a south bayesian...though that doesn't stop half of my team from commuting for San Jose...

if it makes you feel better, they'll just send all the jobs to india in a year or two like they've done with the ones in seattle.

The job you requested cannot be found.

Either they had a sudden attack of "We Can't Give That Bastard A Referral Bonus", or I'm coming from an IP address that's not allowed to take jobs from patriotic Americans.

. . . who will work for less than you would. My pal Steve is a software developer who's been in several interview situations where the choice was between him and someone ten years younger who'll take $20K less per year. He's lost more than a couple of jobs to the kid even though he's vastly more experienced and skillful. I've encountered it myself interviewing for lousy secretarial jobs. And I thought age discrimination wasn't supposed to happen until we were all 50. Of course it's all "penny wise, pound foolish" on the part of the employer -- that sort of sounds like sour grapes, but I think you can at least rest happy knowing that they're making their work harder for themselves by choosing this course of action.
