Yes, I hadn’t thought of that one Bricker.
You’re right.
You know, the company where I work does require passing a drug test to be hired. And we do submit to surprise audits.
Of course, in my case, it was not a teacher position.
…you know the economy is in deep trouble when…
…you use both sides of the toilet tissue
…a hooker offers you a Palm Pilot instead of a hand job
…Warren Buffet gives you a shoe shine
…Top Ramen is considered your ‘Sunday Dinner’
…Day Trading means selling off a kidney for your next Happy Meal
…you find yourself negotiating to put a pound of hamburger on lay-away at a Super-WalMart
…your alligator shoes leave you for something “better”
Not to be contrarian or anything, but there’s many Christian techies out there who prefer the chance to work at a Christian organization which requires a faith statement because they know that they will be in a Christian environment.
… Your “Top Ten” list has only seven entries.
(Somebody had to do it!)
And that is applicable to the repair of computers, how, exactly? Do they have prayer meetings about IRQ conflicts?
I might feel more comfortable working with people who only eat McNuggets on Thursdays, but it doesn’t mean I’d put a McNugget clause into the contract.
Well, you’d have the option in a Christian organization. If we’re talking about a Christian organization, it just doesn’t seem proper for them not to be encouraging each other’s spiritual growth and the spiritual growth of all involved, whether or not that is a primary function. And while they probably don’t have prayer meetings over IRQ conflicts, they possibly do pray at meetings.
As for McNuggets, it’s unlikely they mean as much to you and a significantly large group of people as Christianity does to many Christians.
You must not work in the tech field. Praying to The Powers That Be is a rather popular, if not effective, thing to do when servers emit Magic Smoke.
Also, I continued the faith requirement theme here.
-Tried it, doesn’t work. I prefer the Audio Invective method. Even if it doesn’t cure the problem, it sure makes me feel better. And after long practice with various smoke-powered devices, I’ve found I can now anneal metals verbally.
Is that how you fix those damn things? It has to work at least as well as everything I’ve tried.
I’ve had a server or two exorcised in my time. Never hurts to make sure.
Incidentally, I work for a company where one of the senior developers works part-time as a barman to make ends meet, and at least one designer can be seen on street corners at the weekend, busking for spare change. Seriously.
I like “percussive maintenance,” myself. 
Where I work requires pre-hire drug testing, but I work in health care, so that makes more sense.
On Park Avenue around 48th street, I occasionally see a rather well-dressed beggar with a large placard:
Will Code For Food
You no longer relate to movie characters like Travis Bickle (Taxi Driver), Peter Gibbons (Office Space) or Tyler Durden/Jack (Fight Club) who provide a disturbing reflection of the modern world because they…unlike you…have what now seems like a pretty cool job.
