Million Options, Attitude....

I was on bench lately looking for a new project where i could actually use the technology i learned & could get a hands on experience.. was provided with following choices

1. same kind of job but with 1&half month of onsite opportunity
2.same job at client place & cut off from the parent company(this project is well established & no chance of discovering anything new), you might know the pain working at client location.

rejected both... Boss says.. i have an attitude problem!!! where is attitude here? Oliver twist asked for more...was that attitude? if he was hungry & wanted more..what attitude has to do with it. If i wanted something that could get me an hands on experience..whats wrong in it.

boss says i have not upgraded my skills, nothing i have done new... showed him the cerificate... he says its a piece of paper.. its experience that matter... o really!!! paper with gandhi's photo is also a paper..asked the guy who earned it, slogging there ass for a month.

they pushed us to take the choice no 2. they say that is the only option... when did that become an option,when there is only one choice???

Stinker came to us saying that we were given a million options & still these guys are not taking it up... Hope somebody at oxford dictonary is paying attention here... new defination of a million is two... please update the dictonary..

"Attitude problem" = fight for rights person, one who questions, has his own views
"Certification" = just paper
"Experience" = no certification
"Skills" = Alt-Tab + Double-click + Ctrl-C + Alt-Tab + Ctrl-V
If {no Certification in hand}, then Certification required
If no experience, then certification required
If both experience + Certification = "attitude problem"

Where a compromise is even called an "option", then whats there in a choice?

And I have sent a mail to Dr.Oxford asking to change the bleddy meaning of million - it should be 2! MFs...
