Mindworx - or not...


Always be aware of triple exclamation marks (aside, there is a band called "!!!" pronounced "chk, chk, chk"). It usually signals some gormless junior recruitment "consultant" (don't you love how they hijack and thereby devalue these titles?) getting desperate to fill a position (or several duplicate ones) and so lathers up the froth on the ad to the point where you think they're flogging the latest, greatest, fantabulous, orgasm-producing *thing* to hit the shelves, but...wait...no - IT'S JUST A FLIPPIN' JOB.

That's right mate, a job. Something that a lot of people just *do* because they have bills to pay and/or they haven't got the imagination and/or guts to do something that they *really* want to. So this type of hyping/exaggeration really sticks in my craw. To top it all off, the spelling & grammar are appalling - even for Brisbane standards. If you can't make it all the way through (& I don't blame you if you can't) then the first 3 sentences all have errors. And don't you just want to swat the smug looking bint "leaning" on the ad? Oh, it's all going on with this one.
