LAME

Professor: Well, it looks like I'll need my heroic bureaucrat back. At severely reduced pay, of course
Fry: What about me? Can I come back at severely reduced pay?
Hermes: You got it, mon. In fact, severely reduced pay all around!

That Futurama quote has been running through my head all day.

So Obama becomes president, and I lose my job. Causation or correlation?

Seriously, I just found out today that my job has disappeared. I can stay on as a regular associate, at severely reduced pay, if I so choose. Try this on for size: do all the same work you've been doing, for a dollar less per hour.

I'm sure it's For The Greater Good.

Oy.

Must decide by tomorrow.

1 That is lame. Sorry you have to make this decision.

2 Here we go again ... What a way to start your week! I am so sorry to hear this. To foam or not to foam? A certain slogan from the Reagan era comes to mind.

3 That sucks! Sorry to hear that. Trust me I know how it goes. Maybe a little hopenchange stimulus can come your way instead of those who don't want to work for a living I'd put in a good word for you but something tells me I'm not on any VIP lists with the new administration. Just a hunch. Today does seem like a bummer - I found out I paid $14,000 in taxes (so far) and I'm sure I'll have to pay more once I file my tax return. So it'll probably end up being more like $15 - $20k. All of which I will not see any returned investment on from my govt. Suuuuper! Can you imagine what that return would be if I could have kept that money and invested it on my own? What if I were a business and could have reinvested that into my business/company instead of collecting it from employees to give to the govt. I might be able to help someone keep their job or even better get a raise for doing a job well done. Imagine the possibilities for our economy! I know I should hush it up. We're now under a regime that wants an education system that rewards children for mediocre behavior but punishes business for positive growth. Faaaaaaaaaaabulous!

4 So sorry sweetie. But, remember, it's all about the hopey, changey thingey!!! Will this qualify you for an economic stimulus package?

5 My vote is tell them no thanks... You have enough to keep you busy, and frankly could make more money crocheting or knitting for others, or teaching classes at some MWR center...on post, think about it... you could open your own how to knit shop..

6 AWTM is awesome. Why fool around with foam when knitting is your mission? More focus, more money. You've been a part of capitalism; now it's time to be a capitalist! But every day since we've come a little bit closer to our goal of being fat, rich, white Republicans. - Queen Leaina Get even closer. You have the skills, and you will soon have the time.
