In that same vein, I also won't work for a company that requires you to pass an "intelligence test" or "personality test". They should automatically know that I'm an idiot from the drool coming out of my mouth and that I'd fail their personality test from the blood on my shirt. 😛Oh. I thought those blood stains were just the result of shaving before coffee.
With Jeff's beard, I wonder what he shaves. I'd better not use my imagination.
Y U say "what" when you mean "whom" ? :laugh:
I advise you not to assume that shave is a reflexive verb. 😛
If Jeff resorts to shaving when his launcher runs out of chops, let the shavee beware!
I wasn't thinking of shave as a reflexive verb. But, somehow, "what" seems less frightening than "whom", although, not really enjoyable either. :hehe:

Ummm, I think the what can be far more frightening. What on whom is an entirely different array of fright.

I am seeing people claim to be an MCM for some of these interviews. I know full well they aren't an MCM. I have also been hearing that there is a whole horde (more than 20) of MCMs living in my region.I keep hearing about someone else in Johannesburg claiming (to a couple of my clients) to be an MCM for SQL Server. I can't get a name and they're never substantiated (just "oh, we had someone offering DB services the other week who's also an MCM").
I'm the only SQL MCM on the continent!
I've heard of people filling resumes with lies before, but to say they're an MCM when they're not kind of defies logic.

They're probably just copying other people resumés without actually knowing what MCM stands for or that it can be tracked very easily. There used to be a site, that has been reduced to a pdf, since it won't change: http://download.microsoft.com/download/7/c/2/7c28964b-e49d-4c4d-a78b-fc0c844fa66b/mcm-sql.pdf

Exactly my point. So why would someone lie when it's so quickly and easily looked up and shot down? I guess if they're copying resume's then their employment won't last long anyway, but why not just try to get a job honestly?
Edit: I guess I must be old-fashioned, but I would never want a dishonest DBA.

Thanks to Steve (and those who agreed with him) on the book suggestion Ready Player One, I took it to Canyons-Park City and read it on the plane and during our mountain down times. It was a great read and I found it hard to put down. Soooo, now I'm looking for the next book suggestion.... anyone?

Like Fantasy and crime/detective stories?
If so, Rivers of London (also published under the name "Midnight Riot" in the US).

If you like SF, "Redshirts" by John Scalzi
For a bit more militaristic bent of SF, John Ringos' series: "Live Free or Die," "Citadel," and "The Hot Gate" (The "Troy Rising" trilogy.) IIRC, he wrote the series as sort of a precursor to the web comic "Schlock Mercenary"

Anyone here have / had some experience with the Surface Pro 4? If so what are your thoughts on it?
My wife has one as her work laptop now. She got it a few weeks ago. So far it seems to be pretty spectacular. The only real challenge is that some applications have a graphic issue with dual screen. Things like Skype for business have some strange display issues. They either are super huge on the external monitor or nearly microscopic on the surface screen. Outlook has a similar problem but not as pronounced. According to MS this is a known issue with no resolution currently.
