Job Offer - Any Takers?



  • I felt the need to share this job advert that I just received from a recruitment agent, needless to say, I don't intend to apply, and not only because I'm not a .NET developer:

    My client has a very complicated  '3-page' .NET application for use with their clients. It was written internally approximately 3 years ago and intended for an IE6 browser audience. However it was never considered for Firefox browsers, it doesn't render properly when a Firefox browser is used. Principally, the JQuery lookups to the Oracle back end are troublesome, but also AJAX and CSS are not working as well as they should. So might client is looking to engage a contractor for 5 weeks to fix it.



  • Sounds like just what I'm looking for. I know nothing about those technologies, but plainly nor do they. Any contractor who can't spin that out into 5 months playing solitaire just isn't trying hard enough. :)

    Is this a job in England?  The Brits are famous for their understated humor.  Also, humor involving men in drag.  There's really no middle ground with those guys, is there?  And are they really under the bizarre impression that whatever the fuck it is that Russell Brand does is actually amusing?

    What were we talking about again?

    Boning one of the hottest pieces of ass in the world, Katy Perry?  No, that's just heartbreaking.

    She'd be hotter if she didn't attempt that awful caterwauling that she calls singing.  Or talk, for that matter.  This pretty much applies to all women.

    As to Brand, I really don't get his half-sober mincing persona.  It's like he's doing a Jack Sparrow impersonation.  Or maybe Depp just copied him when he played Jack Sparrow?  Either way, I don't see the appeal.

    I think he's one of David Blaine's more convincing stunts.

    True, but Katy Perry is so goddamned bonerific, I'd let her talk any time she wanted.  Hell, I might even go so far as to listen once in awhile.

    If David Blaine wants to impress people, he should consider a stunt where he manages to go a whole week without anyone feeling an urge to punch him in the face.  Now THAT would be magic.

    I'm English. I think Russell Brand sucks!

    It was 5 weeks not 5 months...

    I know it's only a small difference.

    Bless you, sir.  If you swap that Earl Grey out for a triple shot mochaccino and acquire an almost sexual fascination with guns, you might have a future as an American.

    Oh, jeez.  Look at that.  Russell Brand jizzed all over her.

    Our office vending machine does Espresso-choc. Will that do instead? Now I'm off to read Playgun magazine in the toilet, I may be some time :-)

    Clearly you are not a contractor.

    that really sounds like this years' Aprils Fool article :D

     Think about how much code you’d not have to write if you could go directly to your database from Client Script.

    lol
