305 Years Experience???

I have 305 years experience!
I actually just saw this in a job posting today!!!

EDUCATION / EXPERIENCE:
Education: Bachelors Degree
Experience: 305 years demonstrated success in fundraising. Successful solicitation of individual gifts of $1,000 or more. Knowledge of Twin Cities philanthropic community and social service fundraising.

My "favorite" cliché is "must be a team player!" What does this really mean? No independent thinking? Must always agree with supervisor? It may be the single biggest turnoff I see in any job description.

However, by the time I was done, my interest in technology, from over 10 years as an IT professional, was thoroughly peaked! Definitely off the "beaten path," in a spruce bog in Northern Minnesota, this site boasts an incredible array of scientific equipment that is supported by an amazing technological infrastructure! There are control sites and some of the chambers have added heat, carbon dioxide, or both. A lot of equipment and experimental testing goes on 24/7, 365 days per year. These guys know their stuff. The 10 chambers are connected ...

Measles Outbreak?

The people dying from measles are unvaccinated. This is preventable. Those who are pushing misinformation are participating in the cause of these deaths.
