It is still snowing here in Calgary although it is tapering off somewhat perhaps another inch or so should do it, which is inline with what the weather forecaster had said 2 days ago. I am thinking of taking the young un tobogganing.

not the recipe I use though, I use whiskey, tea, brown sugar, cinnamon and ground cloves.
The whole problem with the world is that fools and fanatics are always so certain of themselves, but wiser people so full of doubts.

It leaves a bitter taste in mouth; however, have you tried it mixed with ginger roots?
millen has already introduced the drink of the day. Our brunch of the day is a new sandwich called the AG sandwich. About fifty of you will be doing without any meat on yours, and you will be chosen at random. Those of you who do get meat will notice it has been burnt to a crisp.Any similarities between the above and political events that have taken place recently are strictly coincidental. As you know, this is a politics-free zone. ;~)
Now let's get e-drinking. Someone better bring a server!
As I said before that, we had a major re-org in our company I guess I considered myself one of the lucky ones who happens to be on the right time with the right people. Now I have to form a group a daunting task to say the least as the un-employment rate in our area is hovering at around 2%. Where am I going to find the right personality that is suited for the job that I am dangling out there eh? BTW, do you know of anybody who does not mind working from 8 to 5, have every other Friday off and comes with a blackberry.
What's the pay? I'm up for a change. ;~) I assume my sole responsibilities will be to play on the computer.
as I am looking for a GIS Analyst. Preferably, the candidate must have a degree in Computer Engineering or BSc in Geography, Environmental, and Cartography and have a Masters in GIS and a 5+ years experience in oil and gas industry is necessary. Do not look at me I did not draw this job descriptions up our HR did. I just told them that I need someone who could withstand the rigorous daily grind on the computer.In addition, yes he/she can pick any color of blackberry he/she wants, heck! We even have pink ones.
Whew! I assume GIS stands for Good In Sandwiches. I hope HR listed weight gain as one of the occupational challenges.
why do you think I have the propensity for coming with excellent images on my post eh? I have you know our VP once told me that “always hire people who are smarter than you”. I am just following his advice here.You are right they do not grow on trees although some of them do hug trees, have you ever interviewed an environmentalist.
Honestly…. You would be surprise that candidate with the same credentials do exists here. I just interview a person who has 3 degrees plus masters as the matter of fact out of the 20 applicants that applied for this job 90% have masters in GIS and 100% have 2 degrees in engineering and science discipline.
I am looking for the right combination between their credentials and experience but most of all what matter most to me is their personality. As you know the reasons, we usually let a person go not because of incompetence but because of their flying off the handle cases.
.....I’d love to hire someone smarter than me to help out around the place but everyone smarter than me isn’t dumb enough to work for me.Oh, could a GIS assistant work from Australia?

as long as the vegemite sandwiches are made from the rack of lamb. Do not forget to hold the mint.
Some vegemite in the gravy is yummy yummy too.Smile
I like gravity defyingSmile
I find that quality supercedes quantity.
But when I was a lad I am sure I would have added a third smile. I liked three when I was a lad. d:o)Smile
No fun at all. And I am a believer in hiring really smart people, but have found they are often hard to find. Sometimes really smart people do the dumbest things.
pre-requisite aside I find that your demeanor falls into that same category that's what I am looking for in a person to be working with. I am not sure if I am being condescending however, you have to decide that for yourself after dealing with you, here in central since 2001 that is my assessment.
I tend to fire myself at least once every week.
In my case I fire myself every morning to starts the day.
They vibrate? Oh, of course they do! I keep forgetting it's not a fruit, it's a phone, 'puter, ergonizer, AND love partner.How did some people (I won't target women) get along without cell phones (and the useless crap that's come along with the entire idea; blackberries; people talking to themselves in grocery lines with moss on their teeth...no, that's not moss, it's a color, no it's and ear protector, no it's a fu****' phone!
Life was simple, you didn't have to worry about people not paying attention when driving (they HAD to read the newspaper somewhere, didn't they?).
I repeat what I repeated lo those many years ago when cell phones had first become popular...I wanna license to shoot people where their cell phones, blue tooths, blackberries are and their brains aren't! I DO NOT mean their pockets and/or purses!
I want life to return to the life of the early 60's. Life was advanced enough to enjoy, they even were doing bypasses!
I guess the only way is to call up Ibn Sarik Yusef Mousgaffi and tell him to push the button! There has to be someone with a name like that with their fingers within reach of a launch button.
It's a beautiful day here in PA...a good time for a nuclear war to start.
And no, I'm not in a foul mood...just tired of technology.

If I had more money I'd soon be broke...but I'd have more LPs!
Amen to that, Brother!
Ergo grex, ergo sum.
our moods are similar on different days and on different days, we're differently indifferent?There's the rubby-dub-dub, three men in a tub...they were gay! Or maybe they were just dirty and that's all the water that was available. Or, maybe it was a hot-tub! Perhaps, they were at a health club and afterward went clubbing with clubs and beat people with cell phones to death.
But what is death? The cessation of life or the beginning of another? Perhaps there is no answer...matter of fact, there isn't. No one has pefected a way to speak with the dead, except my Aunt Hoisinsauce. She could do grat things with a toothbrush.
Someday, I won't tell you about her.
But not because I don't like you, but because she was scary. She would chase goblins from her home with that damned toothbrush. Some of my best friends were goblins. "What," you ask, "is a goblin?" That's someone who's been gobblin' up all the food. It's another term for teen-ager.
Ya didn't know that, did you?
The combination of methadone, tylenol, and tramadol do little for severe arthritis pain, but it sure makes you think strangely! I gotta stop typing...my hand hurts so badly I am literally sick!
So why was I here in the first place? I don't know...I'll tell you if my hand ever stops hurting. That last g hurt!
Bye!

I have to rejuvenate our hot tub here very soon. The wife has been bugging me lately so she can rest her back on it. Oh! The things that we have to do to keep the wife maintained eh.
Luddite!
I'm sure I could marry a nice Canadian girl (I actually was married to one at one point but never pursued citizenship) and fake the rest of my qualifications (heck, there's a number of Bermudian teachers with bogus qualifications and nobody seems to care!).Otherwise, enjoy your toddy, but if the barkeep tries to hold the tea, that could get messy (I usually use a cup for that ;-)
