I originally sent this as an e-mail to JD, but thought is was worth posting in a slightly revised form, it's also on my myspace.com page. The background is that I have a job interview on Monday at 11.
Thanks for the wish of luck. Everything helps. It's hard when I worked for the same company for nearly 14 years and have an odd skill set, at best. I find I don't fit the algorithms on Monster.com or any other job site I've looked at, except for the Special Libraries Association.
I'm not certain about this job, it's for a web filtering company and I don't think that institutionalized censorship is a good thing. Businesses should trust their employees (until that trust is abused) and parents should teach their children something about moral judgment, leaving communication open so that the kids can approach them and ask when they see something (online, in a book, on tv, wherever) that makes them uncomfortable or that they don't understand.
Silly me, expecting people to act like reasonable, thinking beings. Now, if I'm just filtering things that are illegal, or even to the level of R rated movies I don't have a problem with that. I'll have to bite my tongue and curb my attitude a bit for the interview, meanwhile I have all weekend to find out what I can about the company.
