Job Hunting

Every business newspaper is constantly running dire stories of the lack of workers. How many of those workers are being turned away due to incompetent HR departments?

I just submitted a resume. They auto-populated some information. Every single field was wrong. Every single bit of info was its own field, and through a delivish act of shear malice, the website found a way to disable copy and paste. I had to hand enter my entire resume.

They then deleted it and made me start again.

This is why you yahoos can’t find employees.

Reading

I’m going to read three fun things next. Bam, bam, bam. No Matlab, no deep learning, no serious philosophy. I want infantile jokes or swords and sorcery.

Giving Up the Ring

Not to take anything away from Sam, but he wasn’t the first person to give up the ring. I’m talking about the moment in Cirith Ungol when he hands Frodo the ring back.

In the movies, Boromir gives up the ring when they’re climbing Caradhras. Remember Frodo tumbles, loses the ring, Boromir picks it up, and Aragon tells him to give it to Frodo? Boromir does.

Also, Frodo drops it into an envelope Gandalf is holding, and Gandalf seals the envelope and gives it back.

Gollum wouldn’t have done that.
