Apropos of nothing, I just went for an interview at a prominent Detroit Oracle site. The personnel rep wanted an Oracle DBA with Oracle Financials experience so bad he was practically foaming at the mouth. After an hour or so the salary and benefits details were ironed out, and he asked whether I could "lose" my beard. I reflected on this for a while and then explained that it would be easier to lose their address.

So, if anyone wants to work in a place where competency takes second place to conformity, send me e-mail and I'll give you a referral.
