Patriotism is an ephemeral motive that scarcely ever outlasts the particular threat to society that aroused it.

I don’t buy the so-called skills gap as the reason enterprises aren’t hiring IT workers. The skills are there, but enterprises are determined to squeeze more productivity out of current employees.
Currently in the job search, and having been in the search every couple of years, I have seen a couple of factors that create the “we need more IT prople” vs. “hey I’m IT hire me”.
First for many reasons the IT industry has developed a Mercenary mentality. Both employers and employees have little to no intrest in seeing each other’s long term success.
The second problem, employeers desiring skills so specific, thus requiring no training. I see the real skills of a quality IT worker being ignored, adaptability. Knowing a specific language, application, operation system may get one through today but adaptability will get the employerer through all the changes of the industry.

Let’s be honest — when was the last time a carrot ejaculated on you at the salad bar?
With a quote like that you have to read. But seriously I don’t think there is anything I can add that will not later come back to haunt me. Though If I have any femail readers feel free to comment.

… Sometimes, one reaches a point in life where a change is desirable.
Yep…
One such choice is the almost zen-like state of hairlessness one achieves by shaving one’s head.
Small as this type of change may be (in the universal scheme of things), it’s still a personal and (for some) involved decision which affects people in a direct way. In order to assist those considering such a choice, this document looks at many questions that you may be asking.
Think it will be this afternoon or sometime this weekend for the haircut. Still not sure if it is to be a shave it all off or not.
Now to get arcterex to join in, at least for the hair cut if not the head shaving. Hell del has already made the plunge.
And since one of arcterex’s concerns is will look like more of a dork, well as the link above states…
I’ve received hundreds of emails from people who have shaved their heads, and virtually all of them have gotten nothing but positive responses about their new bald looks. It’s unlikely that they all looked fabulous, but it’s understandable that they all got positive comments.
And remember it grows back. I have had long hair 3 times now.
