---- Again, sorry about this OT... I'll shut up again for a while ;) ---
Thanks everyone for your hilarious interpretations and comments. I never intend
ed to
apply for this bent over position, and as many of you said, they're out of thei
r minds. I
just wanted to vent and give you a laugh.
The one question that no one's comments addressed was why these morons simply d
idn't
recycle or use as toilet paper the few dozen (maximum) resumes that would have
come in
with the cert. Did they really need to specify it so bluntly? Might as well hav
e said
they don't want any blind, deaf, mute, 180 year-olds (and repeated it twice in
the ad).
Also, I've personally met dozens of people with the qualifications they want wh
o are
ignoramuses. However, I've met more than a dozen CCIE's but not one who was inc
ompetent.
I hope the guy they find makes mega changes and quits in 6 months when the mark
et picks
up anyway, leaving no documentation behind (typical)... hehe...
Take it easy,
Jake
