I know when I was first hired as The Office Gorilla, there was a little bit of resistance to the idea of an African Gorilla working in the office writing code and fixing computers.
Over time, I’ve become a valuable and respected part of the team, my non opposable thumbs have only slighty hindered my ability to type and the little incident over me preferring that my lunch be alive when I eat it was worked out with the Human Resources Dept.. So I guess Affermative Action isn’t all bad.
Human Resources has just decreed that because of the Citizens with Disabilities Act we need to hire a disabled programmer. After a long hard interview process my boss has decided to Hire the Blind Priest Ho Chi Min as the newest member of our team.
I still have my reservations.
Ho Chi Min is not your average blind Buddhist Fighting Priest he has turned out to be a superb programmer.
Just don’t move his chair, as a practical joke.
