Greetings & an Article on Klingons

[bastardpenguins]

Greetings!

As a fan of comedy and treks, particularly Klingons and their resemblance to the Samurai, I decided to incorporate them into a little article I wrote – The Klingon Job candidate. It reads like a short business case study. :-)

Klingon Job Candidate Discussed:

I’d love to get some feedback (tell me if it sucks etc)

   Heheh.   I'm glad my boss is not a Klingon... There'd be no room for the both of us.   "T'tocruL" is rather unusual for a Klingon name.  The T'T sounds a bit too much like a stutter.  I'm guessing with the capital L that this is meant as a private jibe at someone named Lurcott...

   Now that you are here, be welcome at the Klingon Imperial Forums.  We have plenty of bloodwine, warnagh, chech tlhutlh and other potent Klingon drinks, and no cover charge, so hopefully we will have a good audience for you.

Klingon =/= Samurai. No no no. But I regret that I cannot spare the time to do the re-reading necessary to tell you why. (If anyone else wants to argue that topic, have at it.)

Penguinia, on the other wing, has definite Klingon overtones.

I agree with Heather’s position. When applying for a job, it is in the applicant’s best interest to determine the unspoken rules of the workplace. T'tocruL should have surveyed the situation or hired spies to do it for him. He enters the job unskilled with the most important weapon, that of the mind. Unless the job description called for betleH skills, he should have left it behind. Formal occasions such as a corporate job interview call for dress weapons only. And one does not give out details of one’s childhood unless specifically asked! As Heather said, “I'm not entirely clear why this is even up for discussion.” All that is appropriate is a brief recitation of one’s lineage. Anything else smacks of the weakness of self-disclosure.

He is definitely not suited for the position of foreman. If he were to be hired at all, he should be assigned to site security. That way, thieves and troublemakers could be dealt with in such a way as to make it look like an accident -- construction sites are dangerous places -- and spare the corporation the attentions of local law enforcement.

P.S.  Why bastardpenguins.com as a domain name, and do you know when the Penguin Car is coming out? It looks far sturdier than any of the Hello Kitty models.
