After reading the unfair accusations by the self imposed Frater Ademptus Excelsior (who carries more abbreviations after his name than a scrabble set) against my dear brother lapig93; I had no choice but to stand to defend his good name.
I took pen in hand and responded. The choice words of my defense are not fit for this medium. But without surprise the “Ademptus” quickly added me to his wrath and ire.
In the past 12 months, I would say that I have filled out roughly 300 job applications in my field. None have yielded a position.
Looking at job positions today, I felt I should help the younger aspiring engineers by explaining the “HR speak” that they will find in job application requirements in our field.
I suppose I should add that this is satire and that I actually like working in our industry, but I may as well grab the lion by the tail and shake a bit anyways.

Here’s the current list, tell your friends
I’ve recently gotten into Questionable Content. It’s a humourous bittersweet web comic about two indy music nuts who wind up as housemates and their friends. The art is very basic for the first few years, but it’s fun to watch the evolution of the characters and the artwork.
The quote that gave me a smirk was:
NASCAR is a Yankee conspiracy to keep you (southerners) all placated so the South won’t rise again.
I know at least a few readers who will probably take offense to this.
Note: I was raised in a mixed marriage (He was from Brooklyn, She was from the Bronx). Currently, it’s getting very difficult to live any further north without changing nationalities and buying a Took. (sp?)
I purchased some Chapstick (™) for shimmeringjemmy this morning. She placed it on her bedside table. Accordingly, the cat, cute_evil knocked it off the bedside table.
She looked at me and said, “Now I know what’s been happening to it.” (This would seem to explain why the last 5-10 of these have vanished mysteriously)
In a dead pan voice I looked at her and said.
“Yes, the cat ate it.”
(I continued deadpan)
“This explains 2 things:
One… It would explain why they keep vanishing mysteriously.
Two… it would explain why she has such tender lips.”
And shimmeringjemmy convulsed with laughter.

Thanks to shimmeringjemmy here is a wonderful link to an article looking across the pond at the madhouse this country can become during the first week in February.
