Gettin' a Job

I want to get a job. I have a degree. I even have a Masters Degree. Guess what--in computer science and not last year. Damn. The world is doing a real good job making me feel worthless. Utterly worthless. But what else can an invisible non-entity be?

OK so I go get some Cisco certifications. Update the old skills, they say. Woop-de-doo. Them certs and $3.50 will get me a nice hot latte. Cisco doesn't give a RIP. (haha. in-joke.)

Gawd jobs are so effin' specialized now. We want someone who knows GoLive. Not Dreamweaver. Like there's no commonality? We want MS SQL. Not mySQL. Like they don't have more in common than different? Like somebody who really KNOWS SQL is gonna have any trouble makin the jump? I pontificate the following: some yutz who studied their MS SQL notes and got that cert is less valuable than someone who REALLY GROKS relational databases and never touched MS SQL. In a week the GROKKIN guy will be running circles around the little cert guy.

But HR people don't get this. They want to check off their little boxes. And of course, I couldn't possibly know anything. I'm an invisible non-entity, remember?

Hey I like this blog. It's not like a forum where people will jump all down my throat. This is MY blog, and I'm pretty much talkin to myself.

Well good. But of course you don't care. And you never read this. Why would you?
Good night.
