If you want a job at Black Diamond, you gotta move to Utah:

Unfortunately the current crop of crash test dummies survived, so no openings in the helmet testing department for Taco.

I did forward this to a friend who's also unemployed; he'd qualify for the QE position.  He'd love to leave California, and I'd love to have a place to do some 'dirtbagging' in Utah.  Some cheap gear wouldn't hurt either!  Wink

That would be pretty cool. I'd like to spend some time in Utar.

I'll be in the technology job sector this time next year.

Anyone need brakes done or anything heavy brought up a mountain?  Laughing

I just this week hired a girl.

On Monday she walked into the office trying to sell us dumpster rental.  My sales manager liked something about her (I was out at the time) and he asked if she was looking for a job.  She said yes.  He asked if she had a resume.  She said she had one in her car!  We both interviewed her and hired her that afternoon and she came to work the next day.

I suspect she took the dumpster selling job as a way to go around looking for places where she might find better work.

Check out this thread about going door to door looking for work: http://www.badharvest.net/forum/viewtopic.php?id=918

Pretty active outbreak of H1N1 right now in Utah:

http://health.utah.gov/epi/h1n1flu/sitrep062409.pdf [PDF]

Quote:

   CDC is now estimating that the novel H1N1 virus will be “Category 2” in severity. They are closely watching the situation in the Southern Hemisphere for validation of this estimate.

   A category 2 pandemic has the following characteristics:

       * Case fatality ratio of 0.1 percent to less than 0.5 percent.
       * Between 90,000 and 450,000 deaths in the U.S. (compared with estimated 36,000 deaths during a typical influenza season).
       * Excess death rate of between 30 to less than 150 per 100,000 people.
       * Illness rate of between 20 and 40 percent.
       * Similar to 1957 pandemic.
