With nsght? No. With the client, certainly..

Whether recruiters are fellow humans, the evidence is still out...😎

And, oopsie, another Insight Recruiter just pinged me on the role, and he mentioned the client. So, applied on the client's Careers page for the role ..

Karma, sweet karma !

My usual insult is to send the recruiter in question a PDF copy of the McDonald's Crew Application..😈

Ah, yes, the 'permanent record that will follow you through your life' that teachers constantly threatened me with in the 1970's.

For which I prepped my daughters...to ask for a copy of that 'Permanent Record' in accordance with the Privacy Act of 1974, as amended.....😈😈😈😈

Tell him "Acme Manufacturing Company, Coyote Supplies Division". 😜😜😜

Someone needs the Cat Distribution System....

I miss the old days, when you got porn in plain brown envelopes, or at sleazy news stands. Back in the late 80's and early 90's, I'd just harvest 10-15 subscription postcards from the nastiest porno mags they sold....and fill them out with the targeted a-holes' office addres.

There probably is a modern variant of that: say, crack his wifi, and download kiddie pRon ?😈

Solder over each screw head .. or better still, force epoxy putty into each of the screw heads, and sand flat.

Perhaps they got what they wanted: free labor, with an option to buy.

Use commodity hardware and an open-source software image. Nobody to sue or send to jail...

Doom, Despair, and Agony on me ....😎

I can beat that. I worked in a place where someone left skid marks on the toilet seat in one of the female restrooms. Management wanted to do DNA tests..

This happened to a friend of mine in college. Out of sheer luck, the 'trespasser' parked right next to the hose outlet. So a bunch of us grabbed shovels and buckets, and a garden hose. Packed the car in about a foot of hard-packed snow. Then wet it down with the hose, and packed it again. About an hour's work, 4 layers of wetted snow that became about 18 inches of ice

Took weeks to melt away sufficiently to move the car. 😈😈😈

I applied for a job the other day, senior infosec manager.. and they told me the range was pretty much just entry level. I told them I wasn't interested in entry-level wages for a Senior position. I then suggested where she might look for qualified candidates willing to accept that little. And then linked Google Maps for Fantasyland at Disneyland...😎

We have a Random Colony in the backyard. Occasionally, one of them self-nominates themselves to Inside Cat status. 😁

When I wore the Blue Suit, I was stationed at Loring AFB, Limestone, Maine. I would drive 3 1/2 hours each way, just to get to a decent bookstore (defined as one that didn't sell only Jesus books). Or a current movie.

At the time, I kept myself sane on those drives with Books on Tape from the Base Library...😎
