I can't see the needle either. I am not big enough to do structural damage to the building, but have done some minor damage to other people near me when exiting the building. I once tore the arm off the dentists chair trying to get through the pain so I wouldn't have to have another needle.
Now I go to a dentist who offers conscious sedation. Expensive, but worth every penny.
I have a major phobia about needles. To the extent that I can not watch someone get an injection on TV. For me the phobia manifests itself when I see the needle, so I can overcome it easily, by telling the person giving me the shot, that I can not see the needle. The last time I saw the needle, was for a blood test, I blacked out and when I came back to my senses I was 3 blocks away and very out of breath.
The dentist is the worst, even thought they swab the area with a local anesthetic, it makes no difference.
Depends on the pay. Can I work from home? I did this once many years ago, and I loved it. Get up in the morning, walk to the coffee maker, and over to the computer. In the year that I did that job I only once saw an image that made me want to vomit.
I did miss the human interaction of going to a job. Strange, that was totally unexpected.
I mostly agree with you, but some people go out and get the certification so they can get past the HR droid who only knows "Looks for X certification."
I am a big proponent of hands on testing. Sit them down in front of a machine and give them a task to do. Time them, and then look at history, to see what they did and how they did it. If you see any red flags then don't hire them.
In British Columbia Canada some number of drivers are randomly chosen from people needing to renew their licenses each year to be retested. I know because a couple of years ago I was one of them. I had no tickets, or accidents that would have triggered the test, so I asked and was told that it was just random.
I had been driving for over 10 years, so I figured it would be a snap, so why study. I was wrong. I failed the roadtest badly. A quick review of the rules of the road, and two weeks later I passed easily.
Now I advocate that when a person renews their license they should at least have to retake the written test.
I just had to take the written test for my motorcycle license, and I found again that a review, reminded me of a couple things that I had forgotten.
Testify brother! I had two bullies back in my school days. Nothing I tried helped at all. I was a target and would always be nothing but a target.
One day at a school assembly one of my personal bullies pushed me just a little to far. I saw red (I am color blind) and set about beating him to death in front of the whole school. Fortunately I came to my senses before that happened, but not before breaking his nose, and jaw. Also breaking 3 ribs of the, very large, PE teacher who tried to stop me.
Word got around, and it was the last fight I ever had.
My principal was an idiot. He had the foolish belief that it takes two to fight, so he took the two combatants and made them pick up garbage unsupervised around the school. I am sure you can imagine the results.
Anyone saying "The Lord sent AIDS to punish sinners." should be sent to Africa and fucked up the ass every hour on the hour for 2 weeks.
Lets see what their opinion is after that.

I live in a trailer park in Canada. (Trailer Park Boys, FTW) My trailer park has been mapped in Open Street Map
Damn it! Now everyone knows.
I guess I will have to start keeping it on a sticky note under the keyboard.

I have seen them in my local drug store. Cough and sore throat popsicles.
It is not even a very big drugstore, so I am sure most probably carry them.
Real men don't use anesthetic when the preform an appendectomy on themselves.

I put OpenOffice on my mothers computer and told her it was the new version of MS Office. :)
Then it might be time to change banks.
I know I would if my bank forced me to use IE.
MMMMMMmmmmmmm, baby... The other, other white meat.

Nobody trusts Alice... Skanky b1tch!

Microsoft tried this. It didn't work. :)
But since Solaris does not allow me an encrypted file system or even a reasonable way to encrypt part of the file system, Solaris is useless to me.

How much would that cost me?
That you Dex?
At last they do something useful... and stylish.
A dead baby joke at a "pregnant Yoda" class. Obviously.

I am impressed that they could make an MD5 hash.

Once upon a time I seriously considered becoming a priest. But I found that I enjoyed thinking too much.
