Re: Monday, October 16, 2006 - Get a real job
I think I am glad to be considered an asshole, Doc.
The question I ask is, what makes this different from what most people have to do for a day to day job, especially when it comes to retail work?
I'm not the best, or most technically savvy person out there. I can't write the next "Sams Teach Yourself _____ in 24 Hours" book. What I know is stuff most people know.
I'm sitting here, mulling over Google's AdSense program. Often, I see ads that just don't fit in with the content (such as the first time I ran them, I got ads for CDs. I don't talk about music CDs -- most music sucks). I'm being paid to show people these, and trying to get them to click on it, and yet it's irrelevant to me and my day to day life.
Comparing it to when I was talking about hookahs, of which I do own one, and enjoy smoking from time to time, or when I tried out List'd Express (since I was looking to sell off games, and found I liked the service), I guess I may be blind to the logic of others when it comes to their view of this.
Either way, I'd be interested in a more in-depth explanation from you about why you feel this way.
(also, your permalinks are busted for this entry - they point two days back. odd blogging platform, too.)
