Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

I'm in this picture and I'm loving it
Me, too.
However I am finding it hard to get a job. I got laid off in September. Employers want a square peg for a square hole. "Cisco engineer", for example. I know enough to get around Cisco, Fortigate and a few others. And project management. And servers. And a dozen other technologies. With 20+ years experience. But I don't find anyone paying enough for someone with a diverse skill set.
That's more the fault of the company than you. We are at a point where companies don't want to "waste money" waiting for a great employee to train up on their system and want drop in place cogs or to go for someone way cheaper abroad. My company is asking to only hire people that know our proprietary software or we hire people in the Philippines that aren't even trained.
Don't mistake the malice of the owning class as a personal failure for being multivaried, you would never be perfect in their eyes so don't look at yourself through their lens.
Luck and networking is what gets people jobs these days.
