by coincidence, trying to stay ahead of my three tropical cyclones (two of whom are autistic, the "why" in why i'm a stay-at-home parent), in a bundle of health/school/welfare papers to parse, my rejection from good old time warner cable of maine (hq'd about 15 minutes from my door) fell out and on to the floor. brenda buck, hr sup, wished me well in my job search, and cc'd christy tibbetts, dir. hr, as unfortunately, they did not have any available positions in my area of interest, and declined to retain my resume to boot. when you go to agencies -- in house (tw/maine) or external, you get their view of the world. i won't bore anyone with a clue'd user's view of tw/m, it is simply yet-another-marginally-functional-isp, with b/w as its only value prop, gratis muni-monopoly cable plant. is there a gold standard in hr outfits? we're not the sweet spot in the market, so their idea of "gold" is corporate-intra-net, ms-foo, cisco-bar, and maybe some crm people skills. i'd be happier with cwa organizing us and going the labor hall route. have fun. eric
