True Tommy, your job is safe, but all of your school resources will dwindle as a result of being unable to hire new teachers, purchasing books, updating maps, etc., resulting in a less effective educational system for the 'yutes' of America, forcing them to take up a life of crime...that's where I come in...think of me as the repo man of mental health ;D if I lose my job, you can consider we have more problems than just economic instability. money for supplies is the least of issues in education.

best quote EVER.
teachers are pretty recession proof. So are healthcare professionals, funeral directors, etc.
it's interesting that some products actually sell BETTER in recessions. A classic example is makeup. People don't want to spend a lot of $$ on fancy clothes, but make-up is a cheaper way to feel better about how one looks, so makeup companies do OK in recessions.
so, everyone get out there and sell some Mary Kay!

Insurance companies are really limiting what they will spend for the services people need. You don't get people paying out of pocket for medical help, they won't pay out of pocket for mental health. Stick to the rich; they pay. Plus they are less likely to stab you. Or can they just cover it up better? Either which way, we're all screwed. Sure we will keep getting paychecks, but we won't be able to afford anything anyway. Milk is $2.49 a half gallon, gas will hit $4, bread is like almost $3 a loaf. We have all this higher education, yet we'll be shopping in dollar stores for everything soon. "Boy, the way Glen Miller played.........."

didn't you talk about studying mortuary sciences at one point, Jim? Its funny you mention that because when I typed that post I immediately thought of the conversation the two of us had several years ago when I told you I was thinking of studying mortuary science. I still consider it occasionally but I get held back by the fact that I dont like people, especially when they're all crying and depressed. Im not really a comforting soul to those in their times of need. I tend to be more like the dude from the movie airplane that grabs the panicked woman and tells her to get control of herself while slapping the crap out of her. Im not sure that would fly at grandpas wake.

you don't have to be the front man.... you could just be the guy that lurks in the basement preserving and beautifying the dead with makeup and formaldehyde! Perhaps an occasional driver of a limo.

A 25 year old man, Ricardo Faulk, was arrested last Tuesday in Oregon for ejaculating on a woman walking in an aisle of the Target store. And even worse, she was there with her baby! The victim, who does not want to be identified (makes sense), was at the store with her 3 year old daughter. She said she felt something hit her on the back of her pants. When she turned, she quickly realized what had happened. Faulk had been masturbating in the aisle. www.examiner.com/a-1272985~Ore__man_accused_of_getting_semen_on_unsuspecting_shopper.html

Im not sure that would fly at grandpas wake. Despite having prickish tendencies, I am pretty good at dealing with people in times of crisis. I would gladly share the responsibility with you. I have a family member who is a funeral director. If you wanted to talk to him seriously, I would gladly set something up.

Working in hollywood is awesome, but it leaves all sorts of questions, like: 1. What is the gender of that phillipino prostitute outside? 2. How much do you tip the pot delivery guy? 3. If you take a three hour lunch, how long after you get back are you supposed stay before you leave early to beat traffic?

Enough that he remembers you so that he delievers to you first. 3. At least a bit, but if you are in a real pinch, you shouldleave a cup of coffee by your computer and get a jacket to leave over the back of your chair. This way it "looks" like your there.

If you take a three hour lunch, how long after you get back are you supposed stay before you leave early to beat traffic? 1. If you have to ask, then perhaps you shouldnt purchase the aids-ridden streetwalker. When in the market for poon your guiding light should first and foremost be "Can I be sure from a visual standpoint that this person is in fact a woman". Everything after that is totally negotiable. 2. 15-18% Depending on speed of delivery. 3. I have some experience with this exact situation and Ill just say that once you've commited to a 3 hour lunch and faced no repercussions, then it should be obvious that your employer just doesnt give a and you should leave whenever the hell you want. In fact, just make that lunch into a full blown half-day. Go nuts you crazy kid.
