This is why I'm getting out of the IT business and becoming an electrician.
It doesn't pay as well, it's hard physical work in sometimes nasty environments, and it can be dangerous, but you know what? You can't do it from Bangalore.
The smart people of our generation flooded the white collar job market, but the blue collar jobs like this still need to be done, especially as our parents' generation retires.
Personally what I hate most about the outsourcing movement is that it makes Indians my enemy.
I've actually found every Indian person that I've worked with to be very personable and professional. Now, I realize that they're here to steal my job and leave me penniless and bankrupt. Or if they're not here, they're over there. They're the enemy.
I now officially hate Indians. If I'm a bigot, I'm not ashamed of that. In this context it just means that I'm protective of what's mine. I hate terrorists, too, and this is worse. Terrorism kills you outright, outsourcing starves you to death.
Outsourcing apologists should be shot for treason. This is nothing more than the selling out of your country.
In Japan teenage girls are not taught to be afraid of technology. Ours are taught to be moronic sluts that drool over football players. I think Japan has the edge here.
Goddamn it, we're not going to outsource EVERYTHING out to you people. We'll keep our bandwidth wasters over here, you just take all the important, honest work.
I have a friend who is a big movie enthusiast, who loves to predict exactly what will happen, 20, 40, and 60 minutes into the future of the film. Then he sits back, utterly unsurprised by the plot twists he saw coming a mile off, and crows about how he saw it all coming. This strikes me as really perverse, but it's how he enjoys movies.
That sounds really... sad. What was the last movie that surprised him? How dull your life would be if you could predict everything..
I'll go you one further, my boss doesn't even have a computer at home.
No, he's not a mindless PHB, he's an engineer (I have what used to be his job before he got promoted and I got hired) that's been stuck in a PHB's role.
Thank you for the condescension, Great Moral Compass. Looks like that incident taught you a little bit too much about feeling superior to others in addition to the nature of assholes like him.
shit, I have co-workers that are so loud that sometimes I have to wear ear protection to get anything done. It's just consumer-grade shooting stuff, though.

that's classic. 5 points to gryffindor
so Mr. Pascal thought that living for the present and never making mistakes was the ideal?
I dream about a future for a reason. My present is not what I want it to be. I am not happy.
if you were capable of finding a mate you would think differently.
how many times have you heard people say that they loved computers until they started working with them professionally?
There is no dream job. The fact that it's a job takes all the enjoyment out of it.

That design is a dead copy of the old Soviet BTR series of wheeled APCs.
That commercial was disgusting. I'll never eat at Quizno's again, that's for fucking sure.
I think I had one of your company's modems.
And probably to enjoy being alone because nobody can stand to be around them.
You'll understand when you get older, kid.

yeah, they're going to end up in a real jam over this
yeah, Spirit keeps saying something that sounds like "V-Ger requires the information".. nobody can figure out what it means
what do you care about my kids' waistline? Is my kid too fat for you, you elitist cocksucker??

if he threw the mop at me and told me to do the rest.. well, there's a rather long handle on a mop..

yeah, I'm sure that's why you were typing with one hand, uh huh
