It could be worse!

While complaining about our current president, it’s worth considering what we could have had instead.  You choose.
 
With Obama it was was spend, spend, spend.  Now, it’s stop, stop, stop.  The press always a great job of matching our presidents’ claims with facts.  Worth a read – this version from Associated Press.
 
OBAMA: “Starting in 2011, we [...]

President Obama’s State of the Onion Address – It’s in the layers

The Worried Worker (W2)

Tonight’s address by our president was exactly like every other address.  We’ve made some mistakes, we inherited some bad shit, we need jobs and we need to get banks to lend – and if they ain’t lending, they are paying fines to the government.
 
Like peeling back the layers of an onion, the president identified where [...]

I got fired because the customers couldn’t find me in the wallpaper section…

I’m surrounded by Idiots!

Mad James

The president of our company assigned a process review of my operation to a guy without any experience doing such reviews.  His team is made up of himself, a girl with no background either and no college degree and another guy  who spends most of his time in the quad smoking cigarettes.
 
The president of our [...]

How the Obama Stimulus package sounds to….the President

The Worried Worker (W2)

PRESIDENT OBAMA AND VICE PRESIDENT BIDEN SIP COFFEE IN THE OVAL OFFICE; LOOKING THROUGH THE WINDOW AT THE FROSTY SKY AND GREY WHITE HOUSE LAWN.
 
BIDEN
(twitching like his underwear is too tight)
Have you heard some of the late night comedians about us?
 
OBAMA:
No, Joe.  I haven’t.
 
BIDEN:
It isn’t pretty.  (he pulls out a piece of paper and reads)  [...]

How did YOU sneak into the White House?

The Worried Worker (W2)

Lot’s of possibilities with this question – how did Obama sneak in, Biden, the dogs, the chef, any of them.  But, this question relates to the gate crashers.
 
They were in front of a House Committee refusing to disclose how they got into the state dinner.  Yes, this is true, our paid representatives wanted to hear [...]

Make Change a success – not a spark to worker revolution!

Imin Bizpain

Survival these days depends on your organization’s ability to change quickly. And that depends on your employees. Memos and new mission statements won’t produce results on their own. Change has to come from within your workforce. Here’s what you need to bring your people on board:
 
Tell them why.
You’ve got to set the stage for [...]

Senator Brown casts vote: “Daughters are available.”

The Worried Worker (W2)

It’s ironic that the new Massachusetts Senator, Scott Brown, posed for Cosmopolitan awhile back.  The Worried Worker remembers hearing about a truck, but not about Cosmo.  Like it or not, it’s pretty daring stuff.
 
We tried to research the number of public officials that actually got naked before they got into office and couldn’t find any [...]

Where women earn the most

Mad James

I’ve been pushed around a lot and think I should at least be paid for it.  I know I make some decent money, but I think I’m worth a lot more.  Yes, my boss would say, “sure, how do you measure it,” but I don’t think that matters.
 
I know what I’m worth, and he’s a [...]

Obama’s First Year in Office of the Vice President

The Worried Worker (W2)

It’s been a year and the good news is that the garden yielded some great vegetables.  The soil is being retooled for another season, but we need to get through a pretty cold winter first.
 
 
OBAMA AND BIDEN ARE STANDING OUTSIDE THE DOOR TO THE LINCOLN BEDROOM.
 
BIDEN:
(looking at the sole of one of his shoes, then [...]
