I hope life isn’t a big joke, because I don’t get it.
This story caught my eye. Apparently it’s not normal call centre fodder, it’s real tech jobs, starting wages at about 50k, to begin in a year’s time and continue for the next five years. Very interesting. I have a college technical diploma. I’m young and stupid and willing to change careers.
The main thing that has me pondering is that RIM is currently involved in a huge legal battle in the States as well as suffering delays in their UK operations. If this Dartmouth based tech centre does open up, it could be huge, a great development for Nova Scotia and possibly attract other tech firms to the Maritimes, meaning more job possibilities for guys like me.
Do yourself a favour today and google Jack Handy and Deep Thoughts. It’s funny, a la Mitch Hedberg. You’ll smile, I’ll be happy for making you smile, everyone wins, except for the Wright Brothers, who really should be cursed at.
Tonight the government of Canada falls. On the weekend, I went to a party and discussed politics. It turns out that one of the guys there was a big Liberal kid and so he was saying something about a poll done by some Ontario University showed it was practically impossible for the Liberals to not have a majority government. I argued, stating the Conservatives will run a better campaign then last year (which they will, because even if I was their campaign manager, it would be a better campaign) and I said it would be a Liberal Minority once again, with the NDP being the big losers. He then said some Ontario University did a poll that showed it was practically impossible for the Liberals to not have a majority government. I decided that his Grit programming disc was skipping and stopped talking.
My beliefs are left leaning, don’t get me wrong, but apparently ignorance can be colored red as well. My faith in humanity was resolved today when I had an off the cuff discussion with a bunch of co-workers about religion and politics. It basically ended with everyone agreeing. Hurray!
I read that about the Blackberry spot in Halifax. It definitly sounds like something I’d be extremely interested in doing. Good pay as well. Can’t complain. Hopefully we start hearing more in the coming months.
As for Poltics, as much as I agree, that the Conservative will run a better campaign, I don’t really feel that means it will be more successful. Alot of the population just feels that Harper is the devil incarnate. As ridiculous as the past year has been for the Liberals, I can actually see them getting stronger with this election. Whether it’s be a majority or just by more seats, I’m not sure. Personally, I’d love to see a majority governement, for two reasons. As much as people say minorities get more work done, this minority government is bad, it’s ridiculous how much it’s just childish bantering. It really bothers me how the voters are the last to benefit from any political election or legislation nowdays. On of the bills that was shot down in this non-confidence vote was laws against animal cruelty. Think about that when you goto the polls. And secondly, for spite of course.
The only way I see a conservative government is if Steven Harper dies in a horrible Marshmellow factory explosion and Peter Mackay takes over. Then.. maybe.
