I listened to a Joe Rogan podcast ahead of time, and it totally freaked me out… But, I was confident that "I can trick the machine... Joe said so!"...
NOPE!
There are sensors on your finger to detect micro-twitches and perspiration, there's a heart monitor, and blood pressure cuff, and sensor board under your feet to check twitches, AND to top it off, you're sitting on a sensor as well, to monitor sphincter puckering.
Once you accept that you can't lie, it's a piece of cake, LMAO!

Speaking of job hunts, I had a chat with a HR girl from a bank today.
They've got a role in Sydney at present, but it's a fixed term contract.
Normally in IT you have two options: Go permanent, and remain with the company for life. You get various benefits, the possibility of promotion, and some job security. Or you go contracting, where they pay you more, but you don't get any real scope for career progression, and you can be fired or laid off easily.
A fixed term contract is somewhere between the two, whereby you basically get the downsides of both of the above options.
The IT jobs market is generally sucking right now. I'm off to invent a cryptocurrency, and become
a millionairejust as broke. -

I know what you mean, I'm surprised I haven't been hit with a coyote with a rocket strapped to his back yet
Jody was yelling at me the other day because I was changing out a light bulb standing on a bar stool one legged, told her I'll never die, I'm too full of piss and vinegar to die.
-
see the difference is in my house I would of said that and ivy would have kicked the stool out from under me before I finished my sentence, hahahaha

@Graeme, idk how you feel about relocating, but have you thought any of working in New Zealand any? I went tdy there for work once, and some civilians along side their military tried their hardest to entice me. Apparently, there government was giving special incentives to foreign IT professionals, because their country was so short-handed.
