uni - its software for optical labs, there's only a handful of us

I hear what you're saying; it depends on the company of course. If I hadn't been able to cut it they would have cut me loose. I've done well though. Fast learner. ;)

And we hired someone else last year, same sort of deal and its worked out great as well.

But there are those that
do not - in that case its a waste of time and money of course. Depends on who is hiring, their instincts and all the reasons behind the situation. Easy to make a misstep.

Still room for one more on the staff. This, you might have a problem with.

Now considering your theme of incest, perhaps Chinatown or Cruel Intentions might be more appropriate film choices, but of course, neither play as well into the "Ruff" post below as Maggie delivering the mail on all fours.

Sorry, only two things can distract me from hockey, and one of them is good movies.

Someone has been watching naughty movies. Likely over and over. I myself still have problems not visualizing Maggie bent over James' desk everytime I watch the Dark Knight.

I couldn't have said it better, I have absolutely no problems with Tambo having ties to Quinn and Renney. At the end of the day you usually bring in people you know and can trust.

I was never enamoured of Quinn's coaching of the Leaf's defence, but here's hoping Renney is the cure to that ailment. Besides, I'm half expecting the Oilers to pull a Joseph or a Belfour out of their butts now that Quinn is there.

So you're an implementation specialist? I've worked with a couple of IT guys named Pat and they always seemed a bit...off.
Don't suppose you'd be willing to divulge the name of your company?

As an aside, as guy who's never had any connections, whenever someone without qualifications gets a foot in the door ahead of me because they knew someone it smarts.

Almost every job or move up I've gotten has come at the cost of reduced pay and longer hours ala
"Well I'd rather have the guy I go to church with as my new dev, but hey since you already work 60 hours a week and you're basically doing dev work above and beyond your actual responsibilities we'll give you the title and work...just not the pay, oh and keep working 60 hours a week and we also hired a student who gets paid more than you cause he's my 2nd cousin's boyfriend."

What else is there to say? Oilers have been a totally disfunctional franchise ever since the day they traded Messier away for a second rate Bernie Nicholls. It's the one thing Lowetide and I 100% agree on.

But since they fired the Oilers equivalent of the bosses son, I now like Katz, Tambellinni, plus Pat Quinn, and even Tom Renney I like as an assistant coach. Quinn especially.

I can understand how most Oiler fans, who are the NHL equivalent of a pussywhipped boyfriend are still imagining that a clearly first class second rate hockey player like Horcoff will still be leading the team come October. Well, sorry, but there's no way in hell that they're not going to bring in a first rate center next season. I read it might be Sundin, or LaCavalier, and it makes no difference to me. What does matter, is just how much the last regime was responsible for no one wanting to play in Edmonton, a city I spent the formative years of my life living in and nearby to.

Sure the place is an absolute backwater, but who cares, so long as the team is well managed, and coached, and going in the right direction? One thing is patently obvious: It wasn't the city of Edmonton's fault no one wanted to play there. The reality is that last sad sack collection of GM/coach were responsible for driving away many good young players, and generally screwing up every opportunity they had for moving the franchise out of the post-Messier era dark ages.
