Depends on the job though.

[DonHarry]

How's that?

[Lotha]

Well, good connections always help and can make the job easier, and, what you would often see in Serbia, if you have good connections it doesn't matter how good/bad you are at what you do

[DonHarry]

Surely you'd be exposed once you actually start doing the job? I get what you mean, I suppose there's levels to it. I mean, reputation travels too, if you're truly bad then that'll get round as well. In any case it's a poor philosophy . I always think standards are important regardless, I know not everyone operates that way and people do get by with less, but personally I like to be good at what I do.

[Lotha]

Oh, I agree wholeheartedly, but I've seen people who don't adhere to that and don't seem to have any issues. So VC has a point somewhat, at least in my opinion.

[gbruin]

zaz will agree with me that in the beginning, who you know is more important than what you can do. That levels off with time, but those connections open a lot of doors at the start.

Greg is so right! :thumbsup

Sooo, we had a Radiographer start last year and it turned out he couldn't operate the equipment. He lasted less than a week.

zaz will agree with me this is hilariously sad. Hired to operate radiography machines that he can't operate. Why was he hired in the first place?

^^ I presume that the guy that was fired had good connections and networking then.........

[Lotha]

zaz will agree with me

This is getting more and more hilarious each time you write it. Please continue.

He was a Locum that had a full registration, he said he could do it but when he turned up he didn't know how to use the image intensifier, and he took the job knowing it was a theatre role. Just saying, BS can only get you so far. I know it's an extreme example but it highlights that contacts alone don't compensate for lack of knowledge.

October weather is here. So dark todayyyyyy

[Fish Tacos]

All aboard the hype train! 4 days to go! Choo choo!

PS Inconquerable says hi.

[Lotha]

Tacos!!! Did zaz tell you I missed you?

[Fish Tacos]

He only mentioned Shea. What the hell zaz!?

It's good to be back though

[Lotha]

Good to have you back mate

And don't disappear again or else Shea is gonna lose it. First Inc, then you.

[Fish Tacos]

I was mostly trying to avoid talk about singles to prevent temptation as I want to go into this album blind. I hate when I listen to singles then I just wind up skipping them over and over regardless of how good they are because I want to get to the newer content. I figure we're close enough at this point though.

[Lotha]

And so you missed out on all the talk about leaks and people convincing you that despite not being crazy about the 4 already released songs you're gonna looooveeeee TLH.
