Jerk with a Quote

There's this jerk who used this quote in his Friendster account:

"Never loose the opportunity to give sunshine to the day of a person who needs a few encouraging words."

If this guy is the same guy who set an age limit for the writers he wants to hire, then I definitely wouldn't want to work for him. He not only discriminates. He shouldn't be in a field where he doesn't belong. If you visit his site and find that it's been edited, then someone must've pointed out his mistake. Sure, you made a typo, but to commit one that's beside your atrocious picture is really stupid.

The truth is that you don't have to be a certain age to be able to write good English. It's your education that really matters.

Despite all the BS in the MT industry, you won't experience discrimination there except for a few companies such as MT Pinoy and one company along Quezon Avenue (I really can't remember the name). Yes, there are still Filipino companies and Filipino jerks who discriminate against age. May they find the path to extinction.

Do I Bite the Hand That Feeds?

"Don't bite the hand that feeds." This is a saying I picked up from one of my officemates at a job I used to hold about a decade ago.

If you asked me, well, I don't. The answer is no.

I bite the hand that strangles.

Scammer? Most Probably!

An e-mail was forwarded to me by a lady friend:

Please beware of Mr. Ryan Paguntalan aka Ryan Cruz. He uses different websites such as I-Xcel Master Corp. located in Las Pinas City, Lasermed in Mandaluyong City, Charleston Myriad Solutions, Inc., and now Amsterdamnyc. Do not send any of your informations (sic) to this person. Please pass to your MT friends.

I had sent my resume to this guy sometime late last year. He asked me when I was free to take his online exam; that was the last I heard from him. Judging from the way he constructs his e-mail, he does not have communication skills. You have to e-mail him again to find out what he actually meant by his e-mail, even if the sentences were gramatically correct. It sure seemed like he was hiding something.

There are other people advertising in Best Job Philippines who seem like scammers. Unlike this guy, whose e-mail address seems convincing, there are advertisers who use free e-mail accounts like Yahoo! to carry out their evil plans.

Yes, there are many scammers out there, so please beware. Don't say I didn't warn you.

Take care, y'all.
