[NBLUG/talk] [Fwd: Google Seeking Linux/Unix Experts-Mountain View, CA or Dublin, Ireland]

[rob]

There's something about Google that starting to freak me out. I can't
quite put my finger on it, but it has something to do with their very
aggressive campaign to hire all the nerds around me. I do believe that
they are a cool company but you'd think they wouldn't actually need to
seek out candidates in a market like this. Hmmm. Ah well. :)
