Boss is back after almost 2 weeks....damn. Off to a wonderful start. He ordered a new device and it did not come with instructions, whatever should we do? Apparently bring it to me and tell me to figure it out. Then, rather then ask me what I have been doing we had to schedule a meeting for tomorrow for me to tell him what I have been doing and what my plans are. I love scheduling meetings for stuff that we could just take care of on the spot.....c'est la vie.
I had to participate in a teleconference phone interview today for an attempt to hire a replacement employee for the old job. HR dumbed down all of the requirements and the list of candidates was woefully unqualified. Today's victim said he was very familar with Linux and used it for all of his work in one of his labs unless they had to modify a picture, then they had to switch to windows. Anyone who is fairly familiar with Linux should know about the GIMP. The GIMP is the GNU Image Manipulation Program and is one of the most popular Linux applications. There is a Windows version which I highly recommend. It is a great replacement for Adobe Photoshop and is free and Open Source.
Ok, I can forgive him for that (barely). The final straw was my asking if he understood what it was to accept a job and move to New Orleans right now (he is in the midwest). He said yes, he understood it would be hot. Ummmm, OK, what about the little Katrina thing down there? Cost of housing? Crime rate? Job located in a partial ghost-town? Nope! Just that it is hot!
