I remember speaking to a guy years back on ICQ - a designer about doing a dozen paysites. I was really tired and jet lagged and trying to wrap some stuff up and get things taken care of. We were trying to have a conversation and it was like we both were only seeing like every 3rd message but didn't realize it at the time. It ended up going straight to "what the fuck is your problem, I just answered you..." type responses. Finally we both flipped out and it got really bad until we were seriously threatening to hurt each other.
Later, I realized that because we hadn't added each other as friends on ICQ, every time one of us posted a link, that message didn't go through because of spam protection. Was pretty funny stuff..
Yes, fewer illegal immigrants working equates to more job opportunities for American citizens.

Here's an example of a recent ICQ encounter I had...
New contact adds me.
New contact messages me: "Hi"
Then nothing.
After 10 minutes I finally, because his nick looks kind of business-related, shoot him a message back: "Hi, sorry, I was waioting for you to say what you wanted. I assume this is business-related, yes?"
He replies: "I am a designer"
then nothing. No follow-up information, no pitch, nothing.
I reply: (after a few more minutes) "And.... sorry I was waiting for your pitch."
At this point I'm thinking if this guy is looking for work and he's doing this with all the people he contacts then he's going to be going hungry 'til he develops some presentation.
Anyway he finally says he's looking for work. I do all my own work but I tell him where to go to have better luck, he thanks me.
But wow, just wow. That initial contact was brutal. I hate to say it but even if I had some work available I doubt I'd ever hire someone who says "hi" and nothing else on first IM.
You just know a professional when you read it. Hey or hi, or my favorite, y0, just doesn't cut it.Promote Wildmatch, ImLive, Sexier.com, and more!!

ALWAYS THE HIGHEST PAYOUTS: Big Bux/ImLive SIGNUP ON NOW!!!
