Re: Informix DBA Opportunity
Replies to a job-advert thread about an Informix DBA opportunity. Participants joked about the advert's wording and the supposed attraction of a nice building, a requirement of an interest in sports, and the presence of women in the workplace. No technical content or answer; off-topic banter.

There was one the other day that gave a requirement as "' Interest in and knowledge of sports" (I think it meant "sport" :-)). Now THAT sounds like my sort of place. You can sit around talking about football or cricket all day. And, likely as not, you won't have to talk to any girls!
