Second one in 4 months. I am feeling like a jinx.

All I need is a couple more years and I can retire. Hope I make it.

He's just hoping he doesn't come up in front of one of Sarah's Death Panels.

Get it straight, they are WORTH panels.

Are you "worth" keeping around? Do you contribute more to the system than you take out?

This admin. is NOT the first to think of these things. The progressive movement is about a century old.

Here's what to look forward to...or is it back?

Most important, who will you vote for? That will probably determine your health. ( maybe not your insurance, but your health. )

On a less serious note. We go through "bosses" like popcorn. The seldom get fired, but transfered from place to place, IMO to keep them scared. Most one layer above me are temp bosses, and are fairly competent. One or 2 layers above them are permanent drones, under high pressure, insane, incompetent, and hostile to anyone moving up from below.

It's sorta like the Klingon Empire.

Is it a cultural thing that you guys can turn any simple statement into Politics?

I'm sitting in an odd seat.

I have nobody between me and the owner, and my office is situated just off our war room. I watch shit roll down the hall and explode all over everyone in front of me on a daily. It's a result of too many cooks spoiling the broth.

When the owner has to holler at me, it's because of something I did, nobody else. I sure do like watching the fireworks though! And I watch "operations managers" come and go... set 'em up, knock 'em down!

A thriving 24/7 political "news" media machine combined with mass suspicion of government has a lot to do with it.

Being the world's superpower has a lot to do with it.


Given that in the last 18 months the current administration has pissed away more than 15 times the entire GDP of New Zealand, some of us are a little concerned.

I'd love to not give a shit. I really would. I'd love to be bored with politics.

I wouldn't look to have this storm to pass any time soon. It will get progressively heavier leading up to November and will stay fevered until the election in 2012.

In which your team will loose again. When your team starts to own responsibility for its actions and inaction, your team might win again. But I don't see that happening, go ahead, fool yourselves, rally around your quitter, etc.

ps. good luck davegess.

pps. DD complaining is the first form of politics, your well on your way to becoming one of us.

The amount of politicizing was the same under the previous government. Just different topics.

Keep telling yourself that. Maybe it will come true.

It's not at all what it is cracked up to be!
I keep having arguments with myself all the time!
It is a remote possibility, but this could end up me firing myself one of these days.
