    Aside from the folks already working at Microsoft, have you ever run into any job postings that actually demand that you have more years of experience working in some framework than the number of years the said framework (e.g., .NET) has actually existed? They always seem to crack me up. :)

        Yep, I remember back in the late 90s recruiters frequently looked for 5+ years of Java experience.

          I've never gotten anything more than "2-3 years" or "3+ years" THIS IS THE REAL LECKEY. [edit] Imagine my horror this morning to look back a few pages in the Lounge and see my name with a bunch of "Message Removed." Turns out Josh/pimpdog/CataclysmicIdiot/HoldOnLetMeThink decided to change his name to mine. I have not done sh*t to him recently but apparently he got into the cough syrup last night and decided to take out vengence on me. Some people said some nasty things back to me in the SB thinking it really was me. (ie. "Why don't you celebrate getting fired again.") I am beyond pissed right now. Since I haven't read SB recently this apparently was a jab at Josh, not me. I took it wrong--my apologies. He (Josh) recently whined about why does all his posts get voted down and I actually wrote a nice post saying even though we did not get along, if he woul make a real effort to not call people names and act like a child, he could maybe reintroduce himself into the CP community. No response, old behavior. So if his account has not been disabled or "fixed" I want people to make sure they are responding to the real leckey. Just check my profile and you can tell which is which. [/edit]

          Until Josh's account gets "fixed" and can no longer use my name, use caution before responding to me. http://craptasticnation.blogspot.com/[^]

                            Has always been the same: agents or recruiters with little or no technical knowledge and no understanding of the requirement that's been set. This usually indicates a recruitment tyro whose work is not being supervised by a more senior person. For instance, my present agent has a reasonable understanding so doesn't make these schoolboy errors.

                                  I'll probably find this funnier later once 1. I calm down. 2. The caffeine kicks in. Freaking Wednesdays!!

                                    Aside from the folks already working at Microsoft, have you ever run into any job postings that actually demand that you have more years of experience working in some framework than the number of years the said framework (e.g., .NET) has actually existed? They always seem to crack me up. :)

                                    Both of them were short-term contract positions each offering $30 US for about 3 months. I never really replied.

                                      I've never gotten anything more than "2-3 years" or "3+ years" THIS IS THE REAL LECKEY. [edit] Imagine my horror this morning to look back a few pages in the Lounge and see my name with a bunch of "Message Removed." Turns out Josh/pimpdog/CataclysmicIdiot/HoldOnLetMeThink decided to change his name to mine. I have not done sh*t to him recently but apparently he got into the cough syrup last night and decided to take out vengence on me. Some people said some nasty things back to me in the SB thinking it really was me. (ie. "Why don't you celebrate getting fired again.") I am beyond pissed right now. Since I haven't read SB recently this apparently was a jab at Josh, not me. I took it wrong--my apologies. He (Josh) recently whined about why does all his posts get voted down and I actually wrote a nice post saying even though we did not get along, if he woul make a real effort to not call people names and act like a child, he could maybe reintroduce himself into the CP community. No response, old behavior. So if his account has not been disabled or "fixed" I want people to make sure they are responding to the real leckey. Just check my profile and you can tell which is which.

                                      Actually, no. The concept of Joshua having lost his job has been a topic of conversation on and off in SB for the last few days. (He was posting (as "pimpdog" and "hold on wait a...") during the period of time he used to be at work.) Whoever made the post that offended you knew very well that he was talking to Heinze.

                                          Okay, then I apologize. I haven't been reading the SB much lately. My bad.
