OOC: Pelch, "I wonder if Widow will slam Freddy for a security violation AGAIN, by bringing Headcrack back into the lair before he has joined the team officially. Especially considering that Headcrack does not seem to have the teams interests at heart. I will do a wait and see on that one."

Mao ordered a fairly large breakfast and picked up the lastest holofax, having grown disgusted with the news reports. While sipping his morning tea he looked at the want ads.
"JOIN OUR FAST-PACED COMPANY" Mao remarked as he read aloud to himself.
Don remarked back quietly, thinking the remark was addressed to him. "That means that they no time to train you."
"You have a very negative attitude. What about CASUAL WORK ATMOSPHERE?"
"We don't pay enough to expect that you'll dress up; well, a couple of the real daring guys wear earrings in their noses and lips." Don stated without looking up from his food.
"MUST BE DEADLINE ORIENTED?"
"You'll be six months behind schedule on your first day and by the end of the month they will have piled on the work your mates don't do so you'll be a year behind and you'll get no bonus." .
"SOME OVERTIME REQUIRED?"
"Some time each night and some time each weekend, including holidays."
"DUTIES WILL VARY?"
"Anyone in the office can boss you around."
"MUST HAVE AN EYE FOR DETAIL?"
"We have no quality control."
"CAREER-MINDED?"
"Female applicants must be childless (and remain that way)."
"NO PHONE CALLS PLEASE?"
"We've filled the job; our call for resumes is just a legal formality."
"SEEKING CANDIDATES WITH A WIDE VARIETY OF EXPERIENCE?"
"You'll need it to replace the three people we just worked to death and who just left. The funeral for them is next Sunday."
"PROBLEM-SOLVING SKILLS A MUST?"
"You're walking into a company in perpetual chaos."
"REQUIRES TEAM LEADERSHIP SKILLS?"
"You'll have the responsibilities of a manager, without the pay or respect."
"GOOD COMMUNICATION SKILLS?"
"Management communicates, you listen, figure out what they want and do it."
Mao stopped reading and looked at Don a moment, "You know with that kind of attitude it's a wonder you ever went to work at all. Stop me if I'm wrong but I have the belief that you would take any set of words and make it negative."
Don grunted, "You know with that kind of attitude, I'll bet I'm a manger before you are."
Mao looked at his partner and thought, {He's up to something.}
