[pchelpers] Computer programmer song

(This isn't a normal post.  Just sit back and sing this to the Tune of The 
Beverly Hillbillies theme song.)
Re-Na Hanson / Arkansas USA

Come and listen to a story 'bout a man named Jed, A poor college kid, barely 
kept his family fed, But then one day he was talking to a recruiter, He said 
"They'll pay ya big bucks if ya work on a computer", CADD that is ... CRT's ... 
Microstation; 

Well the first thing ya know ol' Jed's an Engineer, The kinfolk said "Jed move 
away from here", They said "Houston, Texas is the place ya oughta be", So he 
drove until he felt the heat and humidity, 

Summer that is ... no shade ... even your toenails sweat; 

On his first day at work they stuck him in a cube, Fed him a donut and sat him 
at a tube, They said "Your project's late but we know just what to do, Instead 
of 40 hours, we'll work you fifty-two!" 

Overtime that is ..... Unpaid ...Mandatory 

The weeks rolled by and things were looking pretty bad, Some schedules got 
slipped and the boss was gettin' mad, They called another meeting and decided 
on a fix, Their answer was simple, "We'll work him sixty-six"

Tired that is ... Stressed out ... No social life 

Months turned to years and his hair was turning gray, Jed worked hard while his 
life slipped away, Waiting to retire when he turned sixty-four, Instead he got 
called in and escorted out the door, 

Laid-off that is ... Downsized ... Unemployed. 

Ya'll come back as a contractor now, Ya hear?

Good advice is like good paint- it only works if applied.
