Basically, if you put yourself in a position where you have to fire your IT staff then you are a moron. Always do background checks because you are going to be giving these people the keys to the city.
Not every problem employee comes with "Crazy MF With Drug Habit" tattooed on his forehead.
Sometimes people lie when you do background checks. They want their problem to become your problem.
Your IT guy might be just fine until his wife leaves him for a younger woman who also works for your company.
Or, like my experience, the first thing you have to do in your new job is fire the sadistic moron that your predecessor tolerated for years.
The point being, you don't always "put yourself" in that position. Sometimes shit happens.
They're going to make the Prius sound like a ghetto Escalade with wheel well speakers? I actually drive a hybrid Altima, and I assure you that the excellent sound system gives you all the auditory warning you need.
I'd rather work with someone who has a Facebook page full of comments, a selection of interests and some drunk pictures than the antisocial guy with no life.
At the screening committee meeting: "Yes, Bob did graduate top of his class at MIT, but we know for a fact that Alice has been known to have a few beers and take her top off."
Sadly, I have no mod points today, so rather than correct this, I have to point out that whoever modded this "Troll" clearly left their ability to recognize humor and wit in their jammies when they got up this morning. Idiot!
>Your favorite movie would have been even better in color, and even better in '3D,' and given the choice, you would watch the improved version every time.
They did. It sucked. I doubt you can even find a DVD copy of the colorized version anymore. It sucked not because the colorization process was badly done, it wasn't. It sucked, because the colorized version bled all of the dramatic impact out of the scenes.
My favorite movie was shot in black and white. It has great acting from a great script with great directing and great cinematography. All of those trump special effects, even that last new thing, color. Good movies don't need gimmicks.
>Guy does his job even AFTER he's fired and he goes to prison for it? Ugh.
If I fire my network administrator, and he tries to do anything to or with my network after that, he is a criminal, and hell yes he deserves to go to jail. I want his keys, his ID badge, his company laptop, cell phone, etc., and every password to everything; all of which will be changed immediately. If that isn't SOP where you work, you have problems.
>Terry Childs is a stupid, neurotic fool. But there's no indication that he's a thief or a scumbag. He's been punished way more than enough by now. I hope the judge gives him credit for time served and ends this.
He probably could have cut a deal for time served, if he wanted to at any time. However, he has now seriously pissed off the judge, the prosecutors, and probably the folks writing the pre-sentencing probation report. Not a good percentage play.
>remind me of Gary Lauder's suggestion to merge stop signs and yield signs
Having driven in both Italy and France, where stop lights and stop signs are regarded as somewhat amusing suggestions, I can tell you that this would be a bad idea in Road Rage America. My theory about Italy is that since the signs say "STOP" instead of "ARRESTO", Italians think they apply only to any native English speakers who might be around, certainly not to any Italian.
"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion,..." It's called the establishment clause and comes before the mention of free speech.
>after its destruction, the phone still plays music
I don't think the editor understands the meaning of the word "destruction." Tape that sucker to a half-stick of dynamite, touch off the dynamite, and I am quite sure that sucker will not play music.
Was Micro Channel ever fully alive? I had a PS2 Model 50, and by the time there was and operating system that could do anything with the bus, the hardware was totally obsolete.

>Imagine not having that fucking glut of saccharine Archie products.
This brought two rather disparate thoughts to mind. First, I thought Archie was pretty damn useful back in the pre-WWW days.
Second, without those saccharine comics, we wouldn't have had those Archie and Reggie Do Veronica comix.

*sigh* If only I could find a way to make money off other people's stupidity...
Start a religion? I'm too honest, personally, but it's worked for others.
Let's not forget Earl Warren, John Rockefeller, and Henry Cabot Lodge, Jr.; Republicans all.

Introductions, that is.

With some other employers, we might still be looking for his body.
In the 2015 version, the bartender shoots first.
I want the version where Greedo shoots first and kills Solo.
The Geek Squad colors are reversed. Orange up top black on bottom.
Does that mean that Geek Squad is Satanic?

I'm having a problem understanding how filling low-earth-orbit with Zerg Overlords is a good thing.

This is North Carolina. I think smoking is still mandatory there.
and still need permission from them for each device you connected to your POTS line, once that device type had been cleared with AT&T.
Not only permission, but you get to pay for that connection, monthly, forever. And yes, they had phone police who checked.
