Advice from a father figure
Friday, 17 September 2010
When I was 17 and talking about moving out West a man I deeply respected told me to be very careful. That I would be amazed what people find themselves doing for money.

I rarely experience any desire to help Microsoft, but that's a pretty good hiring pitch for them. Pound for pound and, uh, inch for inch, working for them is less degrading than picking up Johns.
Although there are Johns who only want a little sissy-maid training and forced encopresis. So any pitch they make should come with a disclaimer.
