Tech_Insider       I know EXACTLY what you mean, having just finished a few years of the same kind of work. (I will never recover.) I have learned to use both words in their correct social contexts, and it really does help keep the faint at heart at their posts while you step them patiently through the process, until you find the p-p-problem. Without anesthesia.

And don't you just love those skipping-record people? Honestly, though, we all do it.   Right?

Right?

Hahaha....I missed that reply Johnnrg......I missed that reply Johnnrng.......I missed that reply Johnnrng. Ok, now I'm waiting to have a Mac user ask whether I'm a PC.

Tech_Insider says ...

No not that your response was lame......I meant that the response people use in not answering a question by saying that it's not in my payscale is lame when they are actually serious, you know as in a real life situation to try and dodge answering a quesstion....not when stated as a joke while chatting with people.

Just clarifying that I'm not saying what you said was lame.

Np, I understood what you was calling lame, just offering another example in case some might not understand where I was coming from.

Everyday at my job I find alot of "Lame" excuses from fellow co-workers, and from customers that I speak with on the phone... and I do sound like a broken record I'm sure when I say "This is how we can fix this issue" or "This is the only option...." lol  Aka "Issue" & "Problem" are heard alot as well. :(

10-4 on the CB codes, was wondering what some of them mean... nice site. :)

Yes, definitely. And then what if you are jumping from the equivalent of a car moving 60 m.p.h.?

Haven't heard "Close of play" very much though.

Employment

My favorite........"Based on your resume, it looks like you would be a great fit for this position."

No offense to recruiters that may be on this site, but many just see a few buzz words and don't look at the context of a resume to then say the previous words. When they are contacted, and clarification is made that you aren't a fit, be ready to be treated as a modern day leper. My only request is for them to read the resume, learn about what you are looking to fill, and don't expect others to do your job for you.

I may have overreacted, but I cannot mention the number of recruiters who have been utterly clueless, and just made a shotgun spread to try and get as many people to respond to their job posting with no regards for others besides themselves. But, I digress.

And if close of play means bankruptcy 3much, it came to an office near me a long time ago. ;)

Yes Curtis, I've had that one said as well, or "are you sure that you would like to work in this position?" (i.e. from looking at your last position)

I really think that IT recruiters are depending too much on the programs that search for keywords on resumes. It's a good tool, but there should be at least some knowledge of the position and the requirement specifics that they are trying to fill. Just my opinion, but sure there are people who would disagree.....although they amy be recruiters. :)

Ok...I actually may have heard the word phrased for the S&P Stock market before.

Oh yeah the words to be banished-----cool beans-------AAAAGGGGHHHH
