- JOB OPENING ANNOUNCEMENT IN THE VMS WORLD
-
- An old and established-in-its ways company is looking for morons to sit in our
- customer service department and deal with users. Must be overweight, slow,
- a gossipmonger, and have the ability to drone on about extremely
- boring things for long periods of time. Ability to handle lots of
- stress for the personal reward of helping people is preferred.
-
- REQUIRED: Ability to interact with morons and geniuses, as most of our
- customers are morons, and most of our tech staff are geniuses.
- Lack of a brain is a must. Ph.D. required (you did know that
- you can't do diddly without one, right?). Must have published
- articles in Dr. Kilobyte's Journal, as well as have had Jerry
- Pournelle bless your home PC configuration. Should have bad
- taste in personal hygiene, clothes, and prefer American beer.
-
- DESIRED: Should be able to kiss ass extremely well, particularly when
- talking to company officials, clients, users, and, well,
- everyone. Should be able to take lots of abuse, memos, red
- tape, sexual harrassment, intimidation, and paycuts (it's a
- tough economy) with no complaints. Remember, if you're
- rocking the boat, you can't be rowing very well. We're a
- team here, and that means that we don't tolerate newbies.
-
- We're team players. We all try to shoot the basket by ourselves.
- We're a big happy family. Incest doesn't happen cause we hate each other.
- Great benefit plan. If you die early we send your spouse a faux-gold watch.
- Wellness center. It's a big room, and you look around, put hands on hips, and
- say "Well well well" all you want. Sometimes we allow this twice a day.
- Holidays. If we take them off, you work harder to make up for us being gone.
- Unlimited sick time. If you take more than two days, come back for your stuff.
- Corporate environment. We'll stick you and we've got lawyers on staff to make
- sure we do it right the first and the second and the third time.

- Must know how to code in PL/1 on NOS, as well as COBOL under CTSS,
- and have personally shaken the hand of Bill Hancock, and the scum
- of DECUS management who screwed up yet again with the trade show.

- p.s. For you morons who read this in school without bothering to engage
- your brain, this is not REALLY a job announcement. See, this is
- one of things we call `a spoof.' See that? See how it's LIKE an
- ad only DIFFERENT? That special quality is called IRONY. Can you
- spell that? Good! Now go away and learn Unix so I have less
- competition.
