10/4    i know that most ppl sign an at-will contract with their high tech
        employers, but can an employer let you go and might possibly hire
        someone without cause (other than perhaps "don't like you" or "don't
        like your attitude")?  if not and they did, is there anything that one
        can do?  and, will you be able to get umemployment benefit?
        \_ If you're not in a union, you're at will in CA.  You can ask a
           labor lawyer or the CA state labor board (or whatever it's called).
           If fired = no unemployment.  If laid off = yes unemployment.
        \_ At will doesn't really mean at will. They can't fire you because
           you're too old, or because you're black, or because you won't give
           a blow job to the boss, or whatever... you have rights.
           \_ Don't be naive.  They won't put "fired: old, black, lousy bjs"
              on your exit forms.  You're in CA.  You're at will.
           \_ But can they fire you if you won't get a blowjob from the boss?
              \_ Yes.  They can fire you for not accepting your boss's offer
                 of a mandatory bj.  You're at-will.  You can be fired for
                 absolutely anything.

2/7     Christopher Dorner is my hero.
        \_ "We are going to get this guy even if we have to shoot
            200 more women bystanders before we find him." -LAPD
            \_ THAT is awesome. LAPD is my hero.
        \_ Dang, they got him. He could have been a folk hero. -OP
                 \_ Yeah, and they got his drivers license twice.

5/27    Pharamcist convicted of first-degree murder for shooting at armed
        robberers:
        http://www.csua.org/u/tfk (news.yahoo.com)
        What the f**k!!??
        \_ Shooting the robber and leaving him on the floor unconscious was
           obviously self-defense.  Calmly returning to the store afterwards

11/2    California Uber Alles is such a great song
        \_ Yes, and it was written about Jerry Brown. I was thinking this
           as I cast my vote for Meg Whitman. I am independent, but I
           typically vote Democrat (e.g., I voted for Boxer). However, I
           can't believe we elected this retread.
           \_ You voted for the billionaire that ran HP into the ground

8/29    OC turning liberal, maybe there is hope for CA afterall:
        http://www.nytimes.com/2010/08/30/us/politics/30orange.html
        \_ and the state is slowly turning conservative. Meg 2010!
           \_ We will see. Seems unlikely.
        \_ Yeah, because CA sure has a problem with not enough dems in power!
           If only dems had been running the state for the last 40 years!

7/25    Is there a polite way to tell a recruiter "too busy at the moment
        but keep me in mind for future stuff."  Or  "not in that field at
        this exact moment but am switching positions over the next few
        months for your role, keep me in mind" ?  Thx.
        \_ You know what, recruiters have thick skins.  You won't hurt
           their feelings.  Go ahead, try, you can't possibly get them down.

        http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/38217476/ns/us_news-crime_and_courts
        \_ I just bought a hot homeless teen runaway lunch.
           Am i going to jail?
           \_ Was she 18?
        \_ FYI people "MILF" doesn't always mean what you think it means.

7/5     I think this is the first time a CA cop has EVER been put on trial
        for murdering a black man.
        \_ Really?  CA cop, or CA white cop?
        \_ The case marked the first murder prosecution of an on-duty Bay Area
           police officer. Prosecutors rarely file charges against police for
           shootings. A Chronicle review of police use-of-force cases around

        grew faster than inflation adjusted per capita?
