		<title>Comment on Where the Interview process goes Wrong by Stephen Silk</title>

		<description>There are multiple true answers to the &quot;Why do you want to work for this company?&quot; question. The most common one is &quot;For the money&quot;, but there are companies that I have (and would) work for for less money because of other benefits that aren&#039;t financial in nature, even in the long term. (Long-term financial benefits are things like training and exposure to new technologies. You take the lower pay now to get the skills for higher pay later.) 

I&#039;ve gone to work for companies simply because it was a fun place to be, with good people doing interesting things. I&#039;ve worked for companies because I liked the brand and wanted to be part of it. And I&#039;ve worked for places where I just needed an income and would take whatever the hell came along.

More correctly, the question for which your answer is the only true one is &quot;Why do you want to work?&quot;.</description>

		<title>Comment on MetroFAIL: Myki by Hady Nough</title>

		<description>Check this response to my not-working myki card inquiry. I can&#039;t use the card for 3 days after I put $1.00 in a machine. We paid how much for this system?


Dear xxxxxxxx,

Thank you for contacting myki.

We write in response to feedback we received, reference number xxxxxxx, regarding your online top up.

Upon investigation, we have identified that you requested a $xx.00 top up to your myki on the xx/xx/201x. We have also identified a reimbursement of $x.00 was requested onto your myki.

Please be advised that when you top up online or via the call centre, or a reimbursement is processed, an action is sent to every myki device to ensure that the request is loaded onto your myki wherever you next choose to touch on.

We confirm that the reimbursement is no longer being sent to devices. 

To reactivate your reimbursement all you need to do is top up a minimum of $1.00 at a myki machine. The top up will trigger the reimbursement action to be resent to all devices, so after 24 to 48 hours, your reimbursement will be available upon next touch on. Once you have received your reimbursement onto your myki, your top up will be available the following day. 

Please be advised that touching your myki to a myki machine without topping up will not reactivate the action.</description>

		<description>Definitely.  I much prefer the compromise which my circle of friends has established for the ritual of the thirtieth birthday, which is &quot;save this day near your birthday, as we&#039;re throwing you a party, but the activity will be a surprise&quot;.</description>

		<description>X-Drugs remind me of time drugs in this comic I follow: http://amultiverse.com/2011/10/31/rewind/ and http://amultiverse.com/2011/11/14/hits-from-the-ultrabong/ and http://amultiverse.com/2011/11/18/time-war/ and http://amultiverse.com/2011/11/28/not-even-once/ and finally http://amultiverse.com/2011/12/02/intervention/

Except that time drugs really work in that multiverse.</description>
