        …and that job interview is in Germany, no less. Have a good trip and let us know if you need any help with anything, questions answered, or your own personal interpreter...haha, whatever.

        Good luck. And any hint where attractive jobs could be found here would be more than welcome!!!! ::)

            You guys are first in line for an update after Maddy and the ex-wife

            Hope you are super prepared and confident and wow the interviewers with your wit, charm, and knowledge of all things . . . .

            The "interview" should be fine, though I have been just told that my neck tattoo may be a point of contingency… The part I'm worried about is the 2 day long physical assessment, lol

              2 day long physical assessment?

              neck tat being an issue?

              are you going back into the military or some para-military law enforcement profession?  you know how it is, even if you aren't the most able bodied applicant your approach to obstacles and your willingness to participate /train are what really sets the tone unless you just fail the assessment then you know it just means you got to get in better shape for the next go around . . . maybe I should rethink my words of encouragement  😘

              fingers crossed you do not have to take a polygraph examination and explain your deep affection for Japanese dry goods and moderating a forum where almost all participants have almost a fetish like fascination with clothing  😶

              seriously though, I'm sure you will wow everyone and here's sending good energy your way since my words seem to fail to express the sentiment, hahahaha

                      ahhhhhhh, man when I was in the military in the late 90s the closest thing we had to IT folks we folks who maintained and worked on a system called NALCOMIS, no idea if that's even a thing anymore and the system was a mess especially when we got an aviation supply person attached to a unit to supply direct access to parts .

                      the good old days when HAWK and Stinger missiles were a thing before drone strikes were common place and we had to put mineral water in the vehicle batteries every week and perform weekly and monthly maintenance on equipment so old it's a wonder they ever worked.

                          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 millionaire just as broke. 😃
