A little break from work…

Monday, December 17, 2007

My brain's a little tired of the LWP thingy that doesn't seem to work for me…

To give you a little background on why LWP — well you should already know why, read my previous, previous post…

Anyway.. I have this LWP script that will pass values to a script. the problem is.. no one seems to post the script that the values are passed to. Therefor, I'm posting to something that does not exist. 

ysth and ambrus of the perlmonks.org gave a hint that my servers have to be listening to LWP request.. so how do i set that? I'll think about it the next time…

Anyway… a little fun.. Here's the Top 60 soft skills required in any kind of work that you must have or posses as I have promised the other day

How many soft skills do you have so far? If below 40 not good enough, here is still ample time to develop it. Just do it! Cheers!

 So, with that said, I HAVE TO GIVE MY COMMENT/s!!

#'s 1  to 15 seems good but # 16??

Driver's license? — why do I need a Driver's license? ID? ok… if i'm an employer what is the advantage of a guy with a driver's license and another without if i'm into WEB DESIGNING…

17. Dependability? — Does that mean  I have to be dependent on others? Or others depends on me…? [Dependable!]

18. Advanced Math — what does sine, cosine, and tangent have to do with Human Resources?

# 19 to 24 is good…

25. Ability to measure — what? using what? measure what? what?!

#26 to 31 is good.

32. Personal Chemistry. — does that mean that if I have too much selenium in my body employers won't employ me? j/k!! the term is wrong~

33. Willingness to learn. — THIS IS REALLY A MUST. I have this co-worker who often asks me things that are search-able in  Google. I'm not Google!

34. Common sense. — ADD THIS!!

#35 — good.

36. Knowledge of fractions. — why? I already have math skills………………

# 37 is good-

38. Use of rulers and calculators.. — does call center agents use rulers and calculator to measure their service level?

#39 to the last # 60 is good and not everyone practices it so please read and understand them…

I know some of my comments are just joke but hey.. jokes are sometime true…

Well that's it for now… And I hope that the majestic monks of perlmonks can enlighten me more…
