So could your site at times, Adam.

Tell me something I don't know

And feel free to point out mistakes when you find them. Hopefully, they won't be as Rule 34-based as the one on the T site.

Eliminate the job lottery too

Eliminate the job lottery too? http://mbtajoblottery.com/home.php

I found this (in case you didn't see the connection on the tweet)

Glad to see Adam didn't do an in-line photo :-)

I was kinda shocked, I literally said "holy sh*t" very loudly. The painter came in from the other room and was concerned something was wrong.

It was buried under a job posting. You had to apply for the job, then after filling out 9823498 boxes and forms and questions.. that popped up a bunch of questions that were asking to your experience.

Of course, when I tweeted that I purposely didn't @ tag the MBTA in it cuz like.. I wanted it to stay. It was too funny. But boy they must follow the tag #mbta (which is what I DID use). because they were on to me very quickly about getting it fixed. (It was literally 20 seconds after I tweeted)

Sad part is.. I know this position.. an IT-related position.. has been open for several months now, so who knows how long it's actually been like this before I noticed..... I should have used this to my advantage.. "hey I found an embarrassing spelling error... how about an interview?"

err

hahaha

By cybah on Thu, 01/26/2017 - 2:14pm.

Must be a Wang computer, amirite?

Just goes to show

By adamg on Thu, 01/26/2017 - 1:58pm.

Rule 34 really does cover everything.

Okay

By cybah on Thu, 01/26/2017 - 2:03pm.

Now finger me for more information!

True fact

By adamg on Thu, 01/26/2017 - 4:49pm.

In 1992, I worked with the World to "broadcast" election results on that newfangled Internet thing. We used finger to post the latest numbers (one of the best parts was that shortly after midnight, I posted the Dixville Notch numbers, went to sleep, then woke up to e-mail from a couple people wondering why we didn't have more updates numbers).
