		<description>Fortunately ATM I&#039;m in a position where I don&#039;t have to compromise principles in order to buy $FOOD (or $RENT etc.) - so I&#039;m allowed to wax lyrical about how I expect a workplace to operate :-)

It&#039;s also a subtle reminder to myself - of the things I should remember whenever I&#039;m in a position where _I&#039;m_ the one in charge of the workplace environment. I don&#039;t expect to be working for other people forever - in fact there&#039;s a decent chance that (once I&#039;m employed) the next time I&#039;m talking to recruiters I won&#039;t be looking for a new role, but I&#039;ll be looking for new employees instead.

And no, that&#039;s not a pipe dream. Unless it&#039;s a MUSH.</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;Thanks for the note.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;OpenRain gets a recruiter calling about once a month trying to sell us their services. I&#039;ve never been interested, but sometimes I&#039;ll check out their recruitment practices just to stay informed. Every time I see online exams as part of the candidate screening process I want to projectile vomit on my keyboard.&lt;/p&gt;

		<title>Comment on [NSFW] For those against Daylight Savings&#8230; by Mark Glossop</title>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;&quot;God created day and night&quot; - mornings were a heathen abomination introduced via apostasy.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;So anything I do to avoid mornings (e.g. sleeping though them and ignoring them completely) I think is a great way to do things the way they&#039;re supposed to be done. :-P&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Besides - laziness has nothing to do with it...it really comes down to &quot;morning people&quot; or &quot;night people&quot; - that&#039;s why the referendum always is almost 50:50 and seems to cross party lines without any respect for political affiliation. So those that don&#039;t like DST - they get their way for 50% of the year...the rest of us should get &lt;em&gt;our&lt;/em&gt; way the other 50% of the time.&lt;/p&gt;

		<description>&lt;p&gt;Just remember , Daylight Savings is for those who are too lazy to get up in the morning to take advantage of the extra hour of sunlight. :)&lt;/p&gt;

		<description>&lt;p&gt;RE: your personal description:  no, it&#039;s not unusual to like Aussie rules and mathematics:  several of us who work at AFANA (http://www.afana.com) are former math people.  We just don&#039;t advertise it as it isn&#039;t relevant to our audience...&lt;/p&gt;

		<description>&lt;p&gt;Just &#039;coz it was Christmas Day doesn&#039;t mean one has to be lethargic...did the usual family bash, consumed 17 varieties of roast beast for lunch, followed by copious desserts...so by the time the evening came around, I figured the first post was good enough to go from &quot;draft&quot; to &quot;publish&quot; status. Took all of 15 seconds.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Fair enuf? :-P&lt;/p&gt;

		<description>&lt;p&gt;Hehe. Good to see what happened to you ... but I gotta ask, why in the world was this entry made on Christmas Day? Oh and FWIW, I can probably match the System and Footy intersections, but my Coding abilities are still a pipedream :)&lt;/p&gt;
