IT's Last Hope — a Job In the Boonies?
GMGruman writes "Offshoring, cloud computing, automation, 'do more with less' — all of these have been chipping away at US IT workers' ability to have a job. But some companies now dangle a new possibility: Move to rural areas for lower-paying 'onshoring' jobs that can compete with lower overseas salaries. InfoWorld's Bob Violino talked to IT workers who've made the move and discovered that although it's no 'Green Acres meets Big Bang Theory' experience, a move from the big city to the hinterlands appeals mainly to just some IT worker segments, even as it provides new opportunities for others."
It's called Smartshoring. And working from home is called Homeshoring. Can I get WinTheLottoShoring?
As long as they would get me a griffin any time I needed to go in to the office. Shouldn't be too hard in Hinterlands.
Except the steak isn't likely to show up 9 months later and demand child support.
Yeah, but not all country girls are fine steaks. Many are beef jerky and bologne
"clean water and untainted women are NOT its strong suit."
AVAILABLE women ARE it's strong suit. If you have a decent job and your own teeth, it's a sexual amusement part.
Enjoy the rides, but don't buy one to own. :)

Go to the safe celibate City, where her purity will be preserved, nay, NOURISHED, by the wholesome and caring young men who abide there.

I've been to the Hinterlands and boy is it boring. My level 80 Warrior rusted his armor crying in lonliness.

That should be "whose" (and "lousily").
Land is cheap and plentiful. Could use methane from cows to generate electricity.
Would not need any cooling 11 months of the year, just vent in air from the outside.
Of course you would have to close the vents 6 months of the year to keep the computer chips from freezing over.
What do North Dakotans do during the summer? On that one day they go golfing.
Elwood: What kind of music do you usually have here?
Claire: Oh, we got both kinds. We got country *and* western.
Except for this one time, where the steak was prepared by a girl who used to work the tables at this slammin' little joint in Prypiat...
not much, just being forced to manually insert line breaks into my comment
You probably did too.
No.
