What is a DBA, anyway?  Database auditor?
Database Administrator. Another once of the things I used to do.

Great scene.  Marky Mark did an ossum job of singing *just enough* off key.

Those worthless chickenshit cunts didn't respond to my enraged feedback.  Oh well, they go on the ignore list. :)

Fortunately I work with two other firms that have recruiters who actually know what the fuck they're doing, so I don't need them.  BUH-BYE Robert Half.

Oh lord.  No wonder you're enraged.  That's really scraping the bottom of the barrel. :D

We had an existing relationship with them, so our HR VP insisted I try to work with them too. :sleep:

I did an interview on Friday and when we asked the guy if he had any previous experience working with and learning software he went on at length about his successful campaigns of Lord of the Rings, and how at first it was his fault the group kept failing, but eventually he led them to success.

I wasn't sure if he was serious or not, but I noticed he was wearing tennis shoes, and I asked him about that and he said he didn't have anything nicer, and that his wife had made him quit video games and go back to school and get a job.

I feel sorry for him, but I decided to be merciless and not recommend a second interview. :P

Being lazy is bad; unless you still get what you want, then it's called "patience".

That was a commercial on G4, the video game network.

PDH!
