Interesting.

Well, we had zero problems getting the 360 GHIII guitar to work in rockband.

That's our bass at the moment. I prefer the RB guitar though.

But, lets throw a little extra money into the consultants bucket.
in our office it seems like they hire consultants when they need things done on time .. all the important things like making software to track all providers.. and maintaining the netwrk is done entirely by consultants... they work pretty much full time. some have other jobs they do also


I kind of want to see if I can snag a job at one of the roseville tech. business but I can't be picky.. I can prb get into one wth a tech support job since I've been doing it now for a year and a half then try to transfer over to a programmer when a spot opens... h.p. and nec are like 5 feet from my house. prob with h.p. is my uncles a ceo of agilent so they might now like that on my app lol

So how did you get them on the roster?

Are they limited to local or remote or can they be either?

Oh, one other bit of advice, during the interview, don't tell them that.

An interview of mine that didn't work out...

"Why do you want to work in PA, you seem like you'd be better off in development?"
"Well, I just want to get my foot in the door. I'll probably work PA for a year and then try to move into development as soon as possible."

I found out later that one of the reasons I wasn't hired was because the guy didn't want to have to interview a new person next year and honestly thought I'd jump ship on him (which I would have in a heartbeat).

I wouldn't want to work at HP because every paycheck could be your last.

haha note taken... reminds me o some of my interview answers.. especially when I lived in arizona and was applyin to best buy and didn't care to take the job interview seriously since I didn't really want or need the job

they asked why I wanted to work there.. and I said because it seems like an easy job for me to do for a little bit to get some extra money until I move back home....

I pissed the lady off because she felt like I was moking her job... then what I said later didn't help... god I wish that interview was on tape... she pissed me offat the start when she made me sit in thewaiting room for 40 minutes... my first words out ofmy mouth was.. I hope you don't treat employees with that much disrespect... she was stunned

I didn't realize it was at the same company

Another good thing is that if you get hired in to a job that is lower than what you want, and are immediately looking to advance you could either get stuck (my company won't promote you for 1-yr minimum) or you get branded as that guy who is always trying to get out of whatever job he's in.

We've had a few of those here. They didn't last

Weirdest Work Stories of the year

1. "Employee eats 32 vending machine items for charity"

A juvenile probation officer ate one of every item in a county courthouse vending machine in one day. She consumed more than 7,000 calories and more than 300 grams of fat, eating such items as beef sticks, candy bars, Pop Tarts and potato chips -- all to win a bet with co-workers and raise $300 for charity.

2. "Cola wars get physical as Pepsi worker attacks Coke employee"

Two employees from the rival companies got into a tiff over shelf space in the aisle of a Wal-Mart in Indiana. The Pepsi worker allegedly assaulted the Coca-Cola employee, hitting him in the face, giving him a black eye and breaking his nose. Police say the two were also accused of trying to run each other over with pallets full of soda bottles.

3. "Alleged robber asks victim out for date"

After two men robbed a Domino's Pizza delivery woman, one of them called the victim from his cell phone to apologize -- and to ask her out.

4. "Four women fired for gossiping"

Four women employed in a small New Hampshire town were fired for gossiping about a relationship between the town administrator and a fellow co-worker. They were fired on the basis that "gossip, whispering and an unfriendly environment are causing poor morale and interfering with the efficient performance of town business."

5. "Eau de Lawsuit: Woman sues over scent"

An employee in the Detroit planning department sued the city, saying a female co-worker's strong fragrance prohibited her from working. The woman claimed she is severely sensitive to perfumes and her co-worker not only wore a strong scent, but also plugged in a scented room deodorizer.

6. "Salt lands McDonald's employee in jail"

A McDonald's employee was arrested, jailed and is facing criminal charges because a police officer got sick after a hamburger he ate was too salty. The employee accidentally spilled salt on some hamburger meat and told her supervisor and co-worker, who "tried to thump the salt off." The employee was charged because she served the burger "without regards to the well-being of anyone who might consume it."

7. "Carpenter free to ply trade in the nude"

A carpenter caught hammering nails and sawing wood in the nude says he prefers working in the buff because it's more comfortable and helps keep his clothes clean. The carpenter was found not guilty of indecent exposure.

8. "Southwest Airlines employee tells passenger her outfit won't fly"

A Southwest employee asked a young woman in a short skirt to leave the airplane, saying she was dressed too provocatively for the family airline. The young woman was eventually allowed to complete her trip after covering up. On her return flight, she came home with no problem -- in the same outfit.

9. "Employee accused of faking being cop"


A Taco Bell employee was arrested for impersonating a law enforcement officer and attempting to arrest his managers and co-worker. He passed himself off as an undercover narcotics investigator, going as far as typing fake criminal histories on the general manager, two shift managers and an employee and telling them they were going to be arrested.

10. "Employee took 1 million screws home from factory"


An assembly worker hid screws in a specially designed hiding place and took up to 7,000 home with him every day. Over a two-year period, he stole more than 1.1 million screws with an estimated value of $155,000. He allegedly sold the screws over the Internet at discount prices.

11. "Deputy nabbed twice for DUI -- by husband"

An off-duty jail deputy was pulled over and charged with driving under the influence -- by her husband, a fellow deputy. She supposedly left before he could give her a Breathalyzer test, so he pulled her over again and called for backup. She was placed on administrative leave.

12. "Workers killed after seeking raises"

A car dealership owner killed two employees because they kept asking for more pay. The employer told police he was having financial problems and was under a lot of stress.

13. "Man demands coupons from radio station employee"

A radio station employee was threatened at gunpoint when an angry patron was unhappy with the promotional bumper stickers he received. The patron demanded McDonald's coupons instead; when the employee didn't have any, the man flashed what looked like a handgun. She searched her car and found a coupon for a free cheeseburger. The man took it, made a derogatory comment about the radio station and rode away on his bike.

14. "Wienermobile gets cop roasted"

When a 27-foot-long, 11-foot-tall vehicle -- known to most as the Oscar Mayer Wienermobile -- was slowing traffic in a construction zone in Arizona, an officer ran its "YUMMY" license plate to make sure it was street legal. A bad computer entry erroneously showed the Wienermobile as having stolen plates, forcing the officer to pull it over. After further investigation, the officer learned that the entry should have read that license plate had been stolen -- but only if found on any vehicle that isn't a giant hot dog.

15. "Drive-through dispute gets suspect jail food"

Workers at a Burger King in New York got into a dispute with a customer after he refused to turn his music down while ordering at the drive-through. The customer grabbed the restaurant's manager, tried to pull her through a window and then attempted to run over a worker who came to help the manager.

I wish this would happen more often...women are great to work with, but frick, it seems like some women have a deep need to always be complaining about something/someone.
