April 16

Good Morning - It's Friday!!! For most of us that used to mean the end of the work week but not any more and not for me. My work week never ends any more. I'm not complaining I'm thankful for the jobs - so many people don't have jobs, but I'd like to just work one job and know I was able to make enough money to pay the bills. But times they are a changin'.

stupid criminal of the day From Athens, Tennessee, comes the story of bozo door-to-door meat salesman Robert Sloan who was apparently knocking on doors and trying to sell his product with a city permit. When the cops approached him in his vehicle, he panicked and tossed a half-burned marijuana cigarette in his mouth and swallowed it, in full view of the officers. He's got a lot more to worry about now than selling meat without a permit. (Bozo criminal of the day)

Joke of the day Reaching the end of a job interview, the Human Resources Officer asked a young Engineer fresh out of MIT, "And what starting salary were you looking for?"
The Engineer replies, "In the region of $125,000 a year, depending on the benefits package."
The interviewer enquires, "Well, what would you say to a package of 5-weeks vacation, 14 paid holidays, full medical and dental, company matching retirement fund to 50% of salary, and a company car leased every 2 years say, a red Corvette?"
The Engineer sits up straight and says, "Wow! Are you kidding?"
And the interviewer replies, "Yeah, but you started it."
