Re: I'm going to set myself on fire

Well, since I've joined the ranks of the unemployed, I've got some spare time, so I'm game!

Flambe, or quick flash?

I've got some spoons and forks to jab into my eyeballs too for an added effect.

Please do, so someone can make YouTubePoop out of it.

It's not as bad as it sounds.

You know if you do it right you could be on YouTube and win a Darwin Award in the process.

Re: I'm going to set myself on fire

You'd be dead, hence invalidating the award.

No, that's the point of the Darwin award.... the thinning of the herd.

Re: I'm going to set myself on fire

Pffth! I'm not worried... two days plus the weekend and already I've gotten a couple of initial interviews with recruiters setup -one today one tomorrow. I'm not sitting idle feeling sorry... I'm looking at this as an opportunity... hopefully to do more .NET development than I was doing at my previous job (where the conversion was moving slower than Mississippi molasses on a cold winter night....)

Re: I'm going to set myself on fire

Plenty of work out there right now. I was getting 2-3 calls/day when I was off in July and normally July is a terrible time to be trying to set up interviews.
Just don't envy having to deal with the foreign recruiting agencies that call to ask if you can commute daily to a job in Chicago when you live in Tampa.

Re: I'm going to set myself on fire

LOL.... yeah, first thing I got this morning was a recruiter from Redmond, WA asking if I were interested. Had to tell him, that no, I'm not, that I'd like to stay here where I am if I can. But there hasn't been a shortage of calls, that's for sure. Got one meeting this afternoon, and one tomorrow.... hopefully by the end of today I'll have a second one lined up for tomorrow.

Re: I'm going to set myself on fire

That's an incredible photo. From the '60's I think during a protest by (correct me) some monks.

Re: I'm going to set myself on fire

It was just the one monk and he was protesting against the South Vietnamese governments represssion of the budhist religion. Apparently he sat stock still while he burned. It's probably the single most iconic protest there's been in modern times (certainly the most iconic I've come across) but it didn't actually affect any significant change - which demonstrates the futility of protest.

Well that monk achieved Nirvana, at that moment he didn't even have the desire to not be on fire. That's the ultimate goal right? To rid yourself of all attachments and desires.
