my typical response to ads for rockstars is pointing out that rockstars tend to earn 10 to 100 times more than a great studio musician and generally have to be the prima donna all the time. Then I ask if forcing myself to be the center of attention is part of the job description, and just how much better the position pays compared to the typical valley salary.

Along that same lines... you never see a good ninja. So if I'm hired under the guise of being a ninja you can expect to never see me in the office. So telecommuting would be expected?

This is great.

I'm going to apply for and get a job at a company advertising for "ninjas," then not let my boss know when I'm taking vacation or a sick day - just so when he calls to ask where I am, I can reply with "Well, you did say you wanted a ninja programmer..."

if you don't mind, I'm going to borrow that line from you...

[jack-r-abbit]

I don't mind at all.

if you were really a ninja however, you would have stolen that line under cover of night, replacing it with a forgery that looked identical, before using a selection of grappling hooks to make a stealthy escape across the rooftops...

I gather you read Perfect Crime Party (Bakuman around chapter 90) then?

[ktizo]

nope, just looked it up just now, looks fun

will add it to my reading list, needed some new manga to get into anyways, thanks for that :)

[joshAg]

how do you know that i didn't, and this is just a diversion?

[ktizo]

Because I'm wearing lucky pants, of course.
