I worked for a very small company that was always teetering on the edge of collapse. On payday, we had a Le Mans start to race to the bank to cash our paycheck before the account ran out of money. We hired a young Pakistani intern straight out of college. I warned him discreetly to keep his resumé in circulation. Sure enough, two month later, I heard his name over the public address system calling him to the owner’s office and then we said good-bye. An hour later, I heard my own name called … After the initial shock, I was quite pleased to be leaving that hellhole. :)

Let’s raise a glass to ole Bill Pound / A finer man cannot be found / But with budget cuts / he’s become a putz / To unemployment land he’s bound!

We all love reading Mike du Jour
With Thanksgiving on the way
And eating all day
On turkey and fixings, for sure!

Looks like Billy Boy got his 2 ¢ in anyways!
Isn’t it just like a company to layoff and or fire employees right around the holidays?
BOO HISS

I oddly LOVE ambrosia; oddly as I’m not a big fan of marshmallows (ewww, pig bone). You can get bone free mallows, but they tend to be a bit pricier.

I wouldn’t last long there. I’m the guy who brings cauliflower casserole. :)

Who the hell is Bill Pound? Can he get hired as some sort of comic relief guy?
