If you're truly as dead sexy as it seems and dead serious about wanting a job as a webmaster, I might be able to steer you to someone that's hiring. But ONLY if you are serious.

Me, dead sexy ???

I am an oogly old guy.... Nothing sexy about me...lolololol....

I am always open to offers

My current rants are in regard to some specific situations right now.

The current situation here is that I have 2 peers who are really pissed off that the company had to lay off 3 employees (I don't like it either, but reality is reality and the easiest way to cut costs rapidly is through personnel). In response, they have somewhat decided (consciously or unconsciously) to create a bottleneck. Every project quote from thier desk is coming in totally inflated. I am still doing my quotes based on what I percieve as reality.

The result is that on one project, they have quoted the boss man thousands of hours (literally) and I have said that I could have something up and working in a month.

This has put me at odds with them. In a meeting they even said, yes, we could probably have something up and running in a month, but that it wouldn't be "done" (and I had never said anything about done). So we have the merry widow go round about whether projects are allowed to go live before they are "done" or whether to piece them in.

My view is that they are pissed at the boss, so they are basically sabotagueing the process. I have no problem with them fucking with the boss. I do have a problem with them basically putting a stoppage on all new work.

New work is a major part of our revenue stream. If they shut down part of the revenue stream then we lose more money which means more layoffs etc. It becomes the spiral vortex down the toilet bowl.

Basically, If you are gonna go on strike, at least give me the courtesy of going out to the street with your picket signs, so there is no doubt about it.
