Been working with the mortgage guy, rates have been dropping like a rock... Got a house or two to look at this weekend, then maybe we'll be making an offer early next week. I'll be glad to have a little more space once this saga ends.
close on a house by Dec. 31st so you can use it as a tax right off! Brilliant!

Almost forgot......

KOOK OF THE DAY!!!

(it should be a Holiday on this date)

In the mid-1800s, the word "prohibition" went from indicating a ban on anything to meaning a ban on the manufacture, transportation, import, export and sale of alcoholic beverages. The Prohibition movement began in the 1840s in the US, but it wasn't until the 1880s that the Women's Christian Temperance Union and the Prohibition Party were able to make legal headway in the drive to make America "dry," resulting in the passing of the 18th Amendment of the US Constitution in 1919. The much-disputed amendment was finally repealed on this date in 1933, when Utah became the 36th state to ratify the 21st Amendment to the US Constitution.

hi jerry,randy,
thats good jerry i wish you luck. i just put an app. in at the local 76 station as a gas pumper. i worked there before when it was a texaco station. and the same people i worked with then, work there now so i'm pretty much a shoe in on that. i know the manager. i just have to wait and see. out here in oregon you can't pump your own gas!
unless your certified to do that. it doesn't pay that much but it'll keep me from losing my house. thats my biggest fear! at this point i'll take anything.
hi randy, how things at the shop? the local shops around here are really slow to none!
i'm about to go back to the salvage yard if the above job doesn't pan out.

Office Policies:


Staff,
Please be advised that the following are new rules and
regulations implemented to raise the efficiency of our
company.

ATTIRE:
It is advised that you come to work dressed according
to your salary.

If we see you wearing Prada sneakers and carrying a
Gucci bag, we assume you are doing well financially
and therefore you do not need a raise.

If you dress poorly, you need to learn to manage your
money better, and therefore you do not need a raise.

If you dress in-between, you are right where you need
to be and therefore you do not need a raise.

PERSONAL DAYS:
Each employee will receive 104 personal days a year.
They are called Saturday and Sunday! Unless you work
a multi work week with days off during the week.

LUNCH BREAK:
Skinny people get 30 minutes for lunch as they need to
eat more so that they can look healthy.

Normal size people get 15 minutes for lunch to get a
balanced meal to maintain their average figure.

Fat people get 5 minutes for lunch, because that's all
the time needed to drink a Slim Fast and take a diet
pill.

SICK DAYS:
We will no longer accept a doctor's statement as proof
of sickness. If you are able to go to the doctor, you
are able to come to work!

RESTROOM USE:
Entirely too much time is being spent in the restroom.
There is now a strict 3-minute time limit in the
stalls. At the end of three minutes, an alarm will
sound, the toilet paper roll will retract, the stall
door will open and a picture will be taken. After
your second offence, your picture will be posted on
the company bulletin board under the "Chronic
Offenders" category

SURGERY:
As long as you are an employee here, you need all your
organs. You should not consider removing anything. We
hired you intact. To have something removed
constitutes a breach of employment.

Thank you for your loyalty to our company. We are here
to provide a positive employment experience.
Therefore, all questions, comments, concerns,
complaints, frustrations, irritations, aggravations,
allegations, accusations, and input should be directed
to the State Unemployment Offices.

Have a nice day.
