Standard humans / Job hunting / Friday evening
There is a difference between being busy and being productive. Kristen Lippincott
In the capitalistic world, an attempt is ongoing to create a standardized man, kind of "new market-economy man". This attempt is going well and succeeding mainly because of limited scope: the standardization of human bodies, not minds. Humans should, to qualify as members of the new species, come in two shapes: obese & round or lean & gym-trained. If this succeeds, the advantages are huge. Not only does all logistics become easier, but political activity will cease as humans strive to perfect their bodies.
My modest expectation is to get an invitation to one interview per 20 application. It seems to be about the current ratio. I need to reverse engineer the pattern matching machines bit more carefully, I assume.

Standard humans
In the Soviet Union, they attempted to create a "new Soviet man", who would be ideal for communism and the progress of the human kind. Of course, they failed as humans are varied and stubborn.In the capitalistic world, an attempt is ongoing to create a standardized man, kind of "new market-economy man".

Job hunting
I have decided to apply for at least 5, but maybe up to 10 jobs today. I have collected job ads for two weeks now. Now I have enough of them to start my lean production of job applications. Or, maybe building an inventory of ads before starting is not lean at all. But then, maybe applying jobs (i.e. sending emails to some pattern matching, .NET-looking Outlook-script) is naturally a batch job.My modest expectation is to get an invitation to one interview per 20 application.

Friday evening
A nice summer evening with summerish activities: eating peas and strawberries at the market, by the sea; riding the 3-tram with lightly dressed people; reading a book about the Eastern front of WWII (Moscow 1941 by Braithwaite); watching drunkards from our balcony while sipping whisky. Not bad at all, especially while having her company.Alun perin julkaistu kuukausikoosteessa "Blogs July to September 2006".
