blueski, Friday, 28 March 2008 01:57 (eighteen years ago)

There are a few I would trust not to slack off as much as I do.

Rock Hardy, Friday, 28 March 2008 01:59 (eighteen years ago)

only some

electricsound, Friday, 28 March 2008 02:00 (eighteen years ago)

the hot ones

El Tomboto, Friday, 28 March 2008 02:01 (eighteen years ago)

Were I ever in a position to hire anyone, I wouldn't treat that position with any kind of seriousness or reponsiblity. So yes.

chap, Friday, 28 March 2008 02:01 (eighteen years ago)

sure ilxor would prob clean my gutters better than the greasy mexicans but i would keep eye on ilx 100% time lest lols occur

libcrypt, Friday, 28 March 2008 02:33 (eighteen years ago)

Always looking for a good roofing contractor.

milo z, Friday, 28 March 2008 02:39 (eighteen years ago)

as with so many other questions, it depends on the individual ilxor

darraghmac, Friday, 28 March 2008 03:17 (eighteen years ago)

i wouldn't discount it out of hand

BIG HOOS aka the steendriver, Friday, 28 March 2008 03:18 (eighteen years ago)

I have hats that need washing, will pay $5 per.

wanko ergo sum, Friday, 28 March 2008 03:33 (eighteen years ago)

i would hire all these ilxors

The Cursed Return of the Dastardly Thermo Thinwall, Friday, 28 March 2008 04:31 (eighteen years ago)

... to dance for me.

The Cursed Return of the Dastardly Thermo Thinwall, Friday, 28 March 2008 04:32 (eighteen years ago)

have tried to hire ilxors a couple of times but it hasn't worked out for reasons

stet, Friday, 28 March 2008 04:33 (eighteen years ago)

dance rummy

electricsound, Friday, 28 March 2008 04:41 (eighteen years ago)

I have hats that need washing, will pay $5 per.

fuck that

Curt1s Stephens, Friday, 28 March 2008 05:09 (eighteen years ago)

This is for the prostitute position, right?

Casuistry, Friday, 28 March 2008 05:11 (eighteen years ago)

trucker hats? (xpost)

StanM, Friday, 28 March 2008 05:12 (eighteen years ago)

Depends on the ILX0r. And the role.

Masonic Boom, Friday, 28 March 2008 09:20 (eighteen years ago)

I mean, obviously, in a manner of speaking, I already did. Several times. Some ILX0rs were better than others, some ILX0rs mothers were better than other ILX0r's mothers.

Masonic Boom, Friday, 28 March 2008 09:22 (eighteen years ago)

my services are free

latebloomer, Friday, 28 March 2008 09:22 (eighteen years ago)

Mark C hired me. He craaaaaaaaaaazy.

Upt0eleven, Friday, 28 March 2008 09:31 (eighteen years ago)

Haha Mark C's colleague interviewed me once and never got back to me, once upon a time. Shoddy behaviour.

I've approached several Ilxors about jobs working for other people, not sure I'd hire one myself.

Matt DC, Friday, 28 March 2008 09:37 (eighteen years ago)

lol i wouldn't hire an ilxor to do my work, thats for darn sure

Ste, Friday, 28 March 2008 10:20 (eighteen years ago)

I would, but no internet access.

StanM, Friday, 28 March 2008 10:38 (eighteen years ago)

Yes, but if you're both on ILX, and you know there's something that needs to be done, there is the threat that you could publicly name and shame them on ILX and say "ILX person! Back to work!" which would ruin their zing and all. Or, erm, something.

ACtually, it's a terrible idea. Never mind.

Masonic Boom, Friday, 28 March 2008 10:59 (eighteen years ago)

No.

Dingbod Kesterson, Friday, 28 March 2008 11:03 (eighteen years ago)

How d'you hire an an ILXor?
Stand him/her on a yellow pages.

Oooooooh dear. And yes. Any of em.

Upt0eleven, Friday, 28 March 2008 11:07 (eighteen years ago)

Not a chance. I love you all, but I don't pay you to post lolcats.

The Wayward Johnny B, Friday, 28 March 2008 11:16 (eighteen years ago)

"Through an inoccent looking advert in the local newspaper We hired a crew of ilxors for the day, it was from that point that the trouble started.."

Ste, Friday, 28 March 2008 11:54 (eighteen years ago)

I'd hire Pipecock as my butler.

Dom Passantino, Friday, 28 March 2008 11:58 (eighteen years ago)

I actually hired a young man not five minutes ago based on his ability to have long arguments about racism, cultivate hilarious in-jokes based on idiosyncratic grammar and make long lists involving Radiohead records

That mong guy that's shit, Friday, 28 March 2008 12:05 (eighteen years ago)

just the tip of the iceberg your excellency

blueski, Friday, 28 March 2008 12:06 (eighteen years ago)

To be honest if I ever receive an 85-page CV featuring the words 'systems thinking' 'Ulver' and 'Harry Redknapp' I might just employ them on the spot without even an interview, just to see what might happen..

Matt DC, Friday, 28 March 2008 12:08 (eighteen years ago)

my CV is just maracas.jpg

blueski, Friday, 28 March 2008 12:10 (eighteen years ago)

I would not hire a man complacent enough to coast along on former glories

where is the new maracas.jpg steve, where's the invention, where's the passion

That mong guy that's shit, Friday, 28 March 2008 12:12 (eighteen years ago)

Every other CV I'm sent has "systems thinking" on it someplace.

Dingbod Kesterson, Friday, 28 March 2008 12:12 (eighteen years ago)

"Hello, my name is DJ...Mantri"

That mong guy that's shit, Friday, 28 March 2008 12:14 (eighteen years ago)

hell no i would not hire one.
i would date one though.

bell_labs, Friday, 28 March 2008 14:03 (eighteen years ago)

sure ilxor would prob clean my gutters better than the greasy mexicans but i would keep eye on ilx 100% time lest lols occur

FUCK YOU GRINGO!!

carne asada, Friday, 28 March 2008 14:17 (eighteen years ago)

id hire an ilxor and block ilx on their cpu

periodically during the work day id stop by their desk to speak casually abt all the fascinating hilarious threads of the day and how i was zinging the shit out of them on said threads

then id tell them to get back to work

jhøshea, Friday, 28 March 2008 14:27 (eighteen years ago)

If I hired ILXors I'd be like Buddy Rich in a room full of bearded Australian trombonists.

Dingbod Kesterson, Friday, 28 March 2008 14:36 (eighteen years ago)

FUCK YOU GRINGO!!

sry auditions ended earlier this week for that job maybe you can get towel-boy position???

libcrypt, Saturday, 29 March 2008 04:25 (eighteen years ago)

what does it pay?

carne asada, Saturday, 29 March 2008 04:47 (eighteen years ago)

if you bring along a little spy-cam, then really the sky's the limit here

libcrypt, Saturday, 29 March 2008 04:49 (eighteen years ago)

sold!

carne asada, Saturday, 29 March 2008 04:52 (eighteen years ago)

you aren't really actually hired until about 2 or 3 months in. i could imagine recommending some ilxors for sure. as to whether they survive to actually fulfilling the position, that remains to be seen. it's a 24-7 web shop with thousands of paying customers a day. we run a tight release schedule. if you don't hack it, you're going to be put out to pasture in cootie corner, suffering legacy wank and watching your future go to shit. so you quit. (leaving those that do hack it to handle the cootie corner legacy romp in some sort of parallel alterna-magical timeline.) adhd just about required. you'll gain 20 pounds from stress and too much free candy/soda. it will never be a steady rhythm. understaffed til death.

hmm, yeah, we'd hire you, but you don't want it.

describes about 2/3 of the places i've worked for over the years.
