Got a mass email from university career services in my alumni mailbox that was a followup of another email from a year ago. Some guy (who I looked up on LinkedIn, he's a Director of IT e-commerce at a global hospitality company) was thinly veiling his disgust that he go no takers for some pet-project of his:

quote:

Dear Ms. [Career Services Director]:
Back in September I wrote to you about seeking a student of yours who may wish to help me build a web site. I never heard back, and just wanted to ask again. After all, I find it hard to believe that none of them would like to earn extra cash doing something that they may often do for pleasure.
I thank you for your time.
~[Guy]

Original email included no info on expected pay, required time, desired skills, and was a giant wall of text.

so by "help me build a web site" he clearly means "build the whole thing and give me 70%all of the profit while you work for minimum wagepay me for the privilege"

I have no idea, the original email includes the text:

quote:

My website vision is this:
Imagine a web site such as those used by retailers, with various filters and internal search engine capabilities. E-Bay is a good example.
The difference is that with my web site, there is nothing to purchase. Instead, it is a depository for student papers that others from around the world can read.

I have no idea if this thing is supposed to make money or what.

Mostly lol tho @ doing webdev for pleasure. I do webdev on hobby projects when I need a browser interface to the actually fun stuff to make dude.

basically you're a megachump if you care about someone else's work performance if they aren't in danger of killing someone

I am filled with hatred and being a laborer is 100% to blame. Lol thanks Stewie it's great that your attendance is 100% but I produce 250-300% of the end product that you do every single loving day over the course of 52 work weeks. Get hosed and gently caress the company for not paying us piece meal I loving hate it here. Something I wish I would have said to that employer after month one of building and testing arcade cabinets.

"cucking?!" stymie stymies in the door and just keeps stymieing, sliding off around the room, bouncing against walls. he stymies against your toilet, busting it up big time. you get the feeling he's trying to say something to you but he's stymieing at such a high velocity you just can't quite make it out. as he finally nails a window and falls out you think you hear him exclaim "i'm an secular statist, that's what's so CRAZY about this" on the way down
