08/28/08Flagged as NSFW

Let's have us a little fun!

I thought I would try playing a new game, I call it...

 

our first puzzle:

 

your right! its Salma! here is the full photo, I am glad I didn't do anything nude yet, I do not know why the nsfw tag doesn't work. My avatar usually shows up when I blog, this is the first time I have used the nsfw tag.

one of my favorite artists...

I find this absolutely freakin' amazing. This piece was created by one of  the foremost digital photo-realist artists out there, Bert Monroy. Check it out.

again, this is a digitally created picture, not a photograph!

 

Some specks of the piece from the website, http://www.bertmonroy.com/fineart/text/fineart_damen.htmwww.bertmonroy.com

image size - 40 x 120 inches

flattened file is 1.7 Gigabytes!

took 11 months / nearly 2000 hours to create

over 15,000 layers - over 500 alpha channels - over 250,000 paths

a new low

This is just fucking wrong, it has to be a typo....

job announcement:

Loss Prevention Manager

Wage: $7.00 hourly

Detect and resolve internal and external theft incidents and report internal theft incidents to Loss Prevention District Manager for instruction. Report serious incidents to store in order to resolve and reduce the number of incidents. Tour store daily, identifying deficiencies that cause shrink and implement corrective action. Maintain and complete accurate loss prevention records and submit in a timely manner. Supervising and training Loss Prevention Associates. Operating knowledge of register operations. Provide excellent customer service. Bachelors Degree is preferred and 2-5 years of experience is required. Benefits will be discussed by employer.

 

I have seen a lot of "security" jobs posted, and it just baffles the shit out of me how people are willing to pay their security team barely more than minimum fucking wage, and yet want them to protect their shit. Case in point, I interviewed with a local alarm company for the position of "alarm monitor". You sit at a computer and when an alarm goes off, you call the police (in simple terms). pay? $9/hour. What the fuck? What would stop someone that was making $18,720.00/year, which I believe is poverty level in the US, from taking a 10-20 thousand dollar bribe to not call the cops when an alarm went off? It's ridiculus. All they want is an alarm to call the police, and PAYING A HUMAN IS CHEAPER THAN A SOPHISTICATED ALARM SYSTEM.

funny job announcement

I suppose the person typing the description could have been in a big hurry or something, but I found this kind of amusing, and it's a direct quote. Maybe the HR dude didn't have to pass any apititude tests to get his job.

 

"...Must pass drug and aptitude test. Mail resimay to..."
