I hope I can check out laser cannon for the weekend.

In order to get unemployment insurance checks from the State of California I am required to use CalJobs, their web-based job search system. It isn't bad. I've already found one suitable opening. However, I also found this job...

FUTURE COMBAT SYSTEMS BATTLE COMMAND DEPUTY PROJECT MANAGER

also called...

The Deputy Project Manager Warrior Machine Interface.

Wow. That'd look pretty impressive on a resume.

Actually, that just looks pretty impressive.

I really don't want to know what the FCSBCDPM/ DPMWMI actually does: I have a feeling it's not as exciting as it sounds.

I'm thinking "lots of Powerpoint."

[maps-or-guitars.livejournal.com]

"lots of Powerpoint" = "Aaaaaauuuuuuugh"

a "hurr" question

[kafkateer.livejournal.com]

are there still defense jobs down there? for some reason i thought the bulk of those were gone by the late 80s and early 90s.

[bobby isosceles (from livejournal.com)]

Is it with a certain San Diego based four letter company? If so, I can give you an internal reference.

that was ambiguous

[bobby isosceles (from livejournal.com)]

Certain SD-based company handles Future Combat *and* most healthcare-IT systems you'd have experience with. I can give references to the latter but also the former if you want.

Sweet, can you get me my job back as sustainability analyst and then fire the McLean campus site manager?

[bobby isosceles (from livejournal.com)]

The latter, not likely but I can try on the former. Contact me offline (LJ Private Message).

Oh, lots. Several divisions of L3, Boeing, etc.

[wanderingaengus.livejournal.com]

Don't take it. You'll end up like that guy at the beginning of Robocop, blown away by the prototype version that won't recognize that you've disarmed.

[substitute.livejournal.com]

Probably how they lost the last one, yeah.

[skepticle.livejournal.com]

I would be so perfect for that!

[substitute.livejournal.com]

To start with, you look snappy in uniform.

[sakkaranoush.livejournal.com]

I'd say that's on par with Mr. Bosch.

is that an internal job?

[drieuxster.livejournal.com]

Or is your warrior machine interface about the problem solving scenarios, in which you are actually a public facing position responsible for the irradication of unsatisfactory elements that do not interface well with teh Warrior Machine?

I think it's all meetings and Powerpoint.

Bummer. Nothing is more fun than being the Go To Guy with the big Hunter Killer Robots....

BLOOD FOR THE BLOOD GOD! MEETING REQUESTS FOR THE OUTLOOK THRONE!

Re: is that an internal job?

I know the feeling.

Things have not been the same since Dick Cheney went into deep protective cover as a part of the super secret fourth branch of government...

ah yes... those halycyon days when the nation supported the one true and only blood sacrifices demanded by true biblical literalism and the correct implementation of the dominionist apostalic succession....

Re: is that an internal job?

[bobby isosceles (from livejournal.com)]

in days of yore, we would burn our read receipts before the cold and uncaring gaze of OUTLOCH.

Re: is that an internal job?

[drieuxster.livejournal.com]

those were such happier times....

It was not like bob up in accounting was going to eat anyone's eyes....

But now, folks just run screaming when they meet zombies with PowerPoints and not so hidden agenda's cleanly laid out on GANTT charts...

Re: is that an internal job?

[bobby isosceles (from livejournal.com)]

THE GANTTICHRIST WILL BRING THIS WORLD TO AN EARLY FINISH

can we put you down to bring refreshments and help with the clean up after the Apocalypse?

Re: is that an internal job?

[bobby isosceles (from livejournal.com)]

Positive, Goals-Oriented Team Building for the Apocalypse:

YES-CHATON!
