Treat me like I treat you

And I'll treat you like you treat me. You know what? If I treated everyone the way I wanted to be treated I would be going down on people all the time. If you also treat me like I treat you, we will definitely have great fun together. Let's just time it though so we don't bump our heads together :)

condom company job qualifications

do you think being sexually active and using condoms is a fair expectation for condom companies to have about employees working in their marketing and customer service departments? it be interesting to see what kind of background checks these companies do on potential hires in order to get to that kind of info. it's not something you can ask directly, is it? maybe it's my immaturity level but I find it amusing thinking about the question 'what skills will you bring to the job' in a condom company interview. how do you answer it?

resume tips

start with your boobs kelly. no one will hire you in this condition. you also printed the resume on the wrong side. in your condition, the cover letter should have gone in the front and the resume in the back. now it attracts too much attention to your weak points as a candidate. although it seems you also need some bum fixing too. a quick way to lessen the damage in the front is to wear the t-shirt back to front. follow my advice if you don't want to blow your job chances away

Sometimes I just like to bitch

I hate when I complain about my job, and someone says, "Why don't you look for something else?" I don't want to look for something else. I want to stay in my comfort zone and bitch about this job. And anyway, the economy.

A handy man

Women think men can't commit. That's handy for (some) women to believe but they are wrong. While a man desires to sleep with many different women, during periods of drought, a man will give himself the hand job (aka masturbate) using either the left hand or the right hand but never both. A man will stick to his hand for life and there's the moral of the story. Only when a man's commitment is truly handy does he stay loyal and faithful to it for the rest of his life! :)

Wash-lock restroom logic

Invent a system that would not unlock single restroom doors for employees working in restaurants until water has been run and soap dispensed. This innovation might prove more effective than those 'please wash your hands before returning to work' signs. Sure people could work around the system but it would take just as much time and wouldn't be worth the effort.

Message to Obama: Don't markets amply reward value anyway?

The message from the Obama team is that we have to reward people who add value to the economy by producing real products and services instead of rewarding bankers with sky-high bonuses and salaries which they haven't really earned nor they deserve. While I agree with the principle that people who add value to the economy should be rewarded and people who don't should not, I'm very confused by that message being repeated by Obama over and over.

Entrepreneurs who add value by innovating and creating successful new products do get rewarded very handsomely. Bill Gates, Steve Jobs, Larry Page, Sergey Brin etc. These people Are rich unlike bankers who get paid well but receive nowhere near the rewards successful entrepreneurs receive.

When there is no money around to give, bankers get fired. When there is, bankers get it. When a banker gets a high bonus, it's because he has earned it. When he hasn't earned it but still gets it, it is because the government gives it to him. My point is that bankers don't create money out of nothing, they get it from somewhere.

So long as they can be creating ways to get it, it sounds awkward to say that we need to reward other professionals more, unless Obama means we disperse taxpayers money directly into other professionals' bank accounts as bonuses for services or products they have not yet created or might never will. Just like he did with recent AIG and Citigroup bonuses for example. At least I can understand how that works. Hey you failed but here is your paycheck. I, the government, give it to you.

Saying however, that people who add value to the economy should be rewarded more than bankers who don't add any value, that I don't understand. Doesn't the market already reward successful people in every field anyway? What's wrong with that to want to make it work otherwise or differently? I don't understand why and how, in a merit-based market economy the reward system should change.

For the government to say we got to change the reward system in our market-based economy when the government rewards failed bankers with taxpayers' money it's confusing and convoluted. If the government gave the money to the failed bankers already, that means that they somehow deserved it, so be clear with your message Obama, what exactly do you mean when you say other workers should be rewarded more than bankers in a market-based economy that already rewards success in the market? Do you plan to play market or do you plan to subsidize the market? Or are you just saying?

You know, just stop paying high bonuses to Failed bankers and we are back to square one. Let them fail. Regulate. Simple. Stop preaching if your actions don't measure up to the message. Stop preaching about not wanting to reward failure in the system when you have already rewarded failure by keeping failed banks alive. Not cool.

Market failure and regulation is change we can understand and already believe in. That's why we elected you anyway. Be cool.

The right to be lazy sometimes..

It's May Day and I'm feeling rather lazy sitting at home with nothing planned for today. Been reflecting about my work. In general, I love what I do but sometimes I get these moments where I feel totally burnt out and just want to lie down and do nothing. Like who doesn't, right? I just want to be lazy but as I question what motivates me to go to work, I wonder if we not only have a right to be lazy but also an obligation. For what if I let myself get totally lazy, so lazy that I feel lazy about being lazy and don't want to be lazy anymore, instead I want to go back to work. It's probably an absurd way to motivate oneself this way but it works. I guess laziness has its merits too :)

Why this recession is so Un-romantic

When an economy goes into recession it would make sense if bank robberies were on the rise. A recession gives more reasons to steal a bank. Poor people need rich people's money and banks usually have it. Not this time. Bank robbers of the Robin Hood kind are very depressed. Why would they steal a bank? Whose money will they get away with? The Chief Executive Orcas have bonused away all the treasures and left huge losses for the adventurous Robin Hoods to bear. Whatever money is left in the bank is the people's money. For me, that's why this recession is so depressing and unfair. No Robins. No hoods either...
