Re: Thursday Open Thread (none / 0)

Gadzooks, went to the most waste of space job fair today. However, I supose the fact that there was just nothing but training being offered represents how bad things have become. Nobody is hiring. No jobs, none at all.

Skimming comments, I briefly thought you'd gone to a space job fair. Kewl.

Come, my friends, 'Tis not too late to seek a newer world.

I know on who's side my money rides, between, from a previous comment by Sven, the bloods and the quips.

My first public stand-up (4.00 / 2)

True Story. I was 12 and a new member of the school debating society. The motion was 'The extreme is justified in moderation'. I launched into a story, here foreshortened, about an egg packing plant. They use lamps to shine through the eggs as they stream past on a conveyor belt to check they are not fertilized. Problem with lamps overheating and catching fire. And onto the punch - 'The egg stream is just a fried conglomeration'.

It's been downhill ever since....
