I can't wait til' the HR structure is wholly disrupted. I fucking hate everything about the "new job process".

Fucking assembly-line madness. The only way to get anything that isn't a soul sucking experience is through a friend into an interesting startup, at least for people with our personality types (and it sounds like we are very similar).

My first job out of Special Forces in the civilian world was literally packing boxes in a warehouse because that's all I could find. They got a tax write-off on the deal for 'hiring a vet' and I got to use their insurance policy to get a herniated disc shaved off :)

Fair trade, I suppose.
