He rightly saw it as a fascistic enterprise to insist that your mood be in sync with everyone else. And that your mood also be happy. F@$% that." Andrew Sullivan, on Christopher Hitchens @Mr Sullivan, Yeah, nothing like communal happiness that makes everyone happy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Compulsory communal happiness turns the unhappy into traitors, and then you can liquidate them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lucius Posted December 18, 2011 Report Share Posted December 18, 2011 Re: Musings on Random Musings @Mr Sullivan, Yeah, nothing like communal happiness that makes everyone happy. Yeah, nothing like emotional and social blackmail to enforce conformity with the community standards.

Enforcer84 Posted December 20, 2011 Report Share Posted December 20, 2011 Re: Musings on Random Musings Knock 'em dead' date=' Chad![/quote'] Interview One is done. They want to schedule a second one for the first week of the year. I think I'm a good fit, know I can do the work. There's some minuses (notably part time = no bennies) but...they're willing to pay me at least as much as I was making full time before. So I could continue my education...and it's in my field. Basically I'd be the help desk so the other two IT guys could work at other projects. But we'll see. I think I did fine, didn't hit it out of the park...but they've had the opening for a while and interviewed a few people already. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
