I did make a New Year’s resolution: this year I resolved to change my resolutions. For the past few years I’ve been resolving to grow taller. That’s not working for me; so this year I resolved to lose weight in an attempt to appear taller. I do expect the same result. This move may absolve me of idiocy following the logic of Einstein who said to do the same thing over and over and expect a different result is the height of idiocy. Or words to that effect.
Given that it’s a new year, and given that people by and large are not averse to seeking greener pastures, there are a few job openings around (this is especially for you folks who resolved to stop procrastinating and find a new and better job this year) and we here at NICET have two of them.
Please read on and if you’re interested, send a resume along to the Human Resources Dept. here on King Street.
