My favorites are
"Must be self starter"
"Must work with minimal supervision"
Then you get in trouble for actually doing both (and not being a team player.)

"fast-paced" requirements are often written by people who work at a snail's pace or are cr@p at managing their time, so they think any job that requires a reasonable level of output is way too fast.
Either that, or they're added by morons in HR, who took a course that told them to use phrases like that because it makes the company sound cool.

Lights & Motion - The Spectacular Quiet[^]
Quite calming, yet epic.
Very nice 
P.S. I'm officially renaming the Song of the Week to Sound of the Week as to avoid discussions on the definition of 'song' or 'music'. I'm not saying my sound of the week is a song or even music, it's just a few minutes of sound that I really enjoy
As an added bonus you can still refer to it as SOTW

For some reason, that reminds me of John Murphy's Sunshine (Adagio in D Minor)[^].
And no, it's not that type of "sunshine".

I love that movie and the soundtrack has something to do with that 
Lights & Motion reminds me of the Sunshine soundtrack too

Never heard of him, but I'm glad I have now
His official website[^] could use a little work though... Unless it's retro, like his music

Well, the guy is 70 years old, he started with analog synthesizers, because there were no digital synthesizers at that time. Many people say his 70-ties albums are the greatest.

That's not a sound, it's a tune!

And a tune is not a sound because...?
Unless it's a typo and you meant to say "tuna"

"A" sound is "A" sound.
A tune is lots of 'em.
But, of course, the most important part of any tune is the silences -- in fact, it could be said that a tune is nothing more than a silence that is broken up by a succession, regular or otherwise, of sounds.
Actually, that's inaccurate, because I say that it could be said but I just said it so it has been said, so it has therefore gone beyond the realm of couldbesaiditude.

Hi All,
Had one those annoying phone call, you know the type, heavily accented english, telling you to use the run dialog box to go to open event viewer (and look in horror at all the yellow triangles, red crosses) a webpage and download a piece of software in trial mode(!). Getting rather upset when I said 'well no, thats a security risk', 'your internet will go down for two to three weeks!' 'why have bt not told us this before now or posted anything on there web site.' Click...

Last time I had that I asked them which computer they meant as I had four up and running at that moment... *click*

I did that once and the "support engineer from Microsoft" kept replying, "the one near you". 
|
|
|
|

I ask them where event viewer is .. on my MacBook Pro

Y'all aren't very creative.
What you should do is pretend to follow the directions, and tell them a weird screen came up and that you'd like to send them a screen shot by email. If they acquiesce, send them the latest/greatest email attachment you received from an obvious scam attempt email (don't forget to rename it to "screenshot.zip" or some such thing).

I hope you don't mind my ftfy, but "loose" is an adjective. I think you meant the verb "lose"?

Ahh, yes, but I am suffering from food poisoning at the moment and have a high temp (or I did when typed that) Oh and I still have broad band.
|
|
|
|
|
Well, as long as you have broad band the world is all right! Not so?
Anyway I do hope you fully recovered from food poisoning. I've been there and done that. It's no fun!

Not fully yet, but the Temp has fallen

Someone get a rope, tie a nose, and take this man out and hang him!

I treat it as a game to see how long I can drag it out for. Once they phone at tea time, so I told them to hang on as someone was just at the door.
When I went back to the phone about 30 mins later after tea they had hung up! How rude.
