The IT Crowd
The IT Crowd (yes there's going to be a second season)
Mal just rang and that reminded me to muse on the prospects of employment, or lack of it in the IT industry.
Having had a number of years in the IT industry, I'm past the use-by date with all my skills and now look crimly to the very very near future of unemployment as I finish this current contract on Friday.
The Mainframe field is taking it's dying breathes right now as I write here. In fact it's been on the ol' oxygen and life support for a few years now.
The new fields are servers and web-services that route through programs written in Visual Basic or Java or some other infinitely-numerous codes. Along with numerous database technologies, networks, servers, protocols, you name it they haven't invented it (just yet)..
So where does this authors future lie? Basically "Up Shit Creek Without A Paddle" somewhere in South Australia.
Let's face it the whole state and indeed the country is fucked.
Employment - none,
Welfare - fucked,
Environment - fucked (to the point of no-return),
Economy - fucked (by whoever/wherever eg. China, USA, UK, India, Japan,...fill in the blanks here....), now where did the state bank money go I wonder? Oh shit it was only $3bn...chicken shit in the scheme of things, and there we are all worrying about the cost of fucking plastic bags ruining the state of the nation. Get a life - when they start being responsible for their indiscrimanent wrecklessness we might start doing the right thing as well. Show by example arseholes.
Politically - fucked (reminds me of V for Vendetta), even Labor are Right Wing. Socialism is not used correctly in context Johnny, more like Dictatorship or Communism.
Socially - fucked (who gives a rats arse about anyone else! just give me what I demand is my rights...go bogans),
Health - fucked (who would like to take a Coles Deli number just to get a lottery ticket to see a doctor? Even then you have to wait until they have graduated from the New Deli Call Centre of Education Come Medical Enchalado - yeah the same one that Frank Zappa shoved up and down a donkey's arse until it can't cum anymore) and come over here to this beautiful land of opportunity.
Technology - fucked (the taiwanese make everything these days)
Primary Industry - fucked (who could live of the sheeps back these days?)
Industry - fucked (We won't be making cars much longer believe me....give it 18 months max)
Hospitality - not so fucked....we're all having a great time to get drunk so we are totally numb when the rug finally gets pulled out from under us and we are no and indeed a definite NO better than the Chenobyl community.
Police - fucked...thanks to the bastardisation of the legal systems by the politicians and the lawyers....forget the morals of society let's just make it totally legal to run some poor innocent shit of the Kapunda Road and still get home in time to down a couple more bottles of le Grange plonk.
Infrastructure - fucked. Yes you guessed it the pollies. Pat C has made an open and honest showing of fucking the milkcow with Mike at the head of the queue, say no more other than possibly to add the "friends" that have shown him the way. Oh by the way say hi to John O when you pass through LA on your next excursion boys and girls (either you blue or whites).
And no wonder the working class are now the poorest class on this planet bar a babe in Ethiopia, gawd even they have our money.
Riker out.....
