What Job Ads Really Mean....
“Competitive Salary”: We remain competitive by paying you less than our competition.
“Join our fast-paced company”: We have no time to train you.
“Casual work atmosphere”: We don’t pay enough to expect that you will dress up; a couple of the real daring guys wear earrings.
“Some overtime required”: Some every night and some every weekend.
“Duties will vary”: Anyone in the office can boss you around.
“Must have an eye for detail”: We have no quality assurance.
“Career-minded”: Female applicants must be childless (and remain that way).
“Apply in person”: If you’re old, fat or ugly you’ll be told that the position has been filled.
“Seeking candidates with a wide variety of experience”: You’ll need it to replace the three people who just quit.
“Problem-solving skills a must”: You’re walking into perpetual chaos.
“Requires team leadership skills”: You’ll have the responsibilities of a manager, without the pay or respect.
“Good communication skills”: Management communicates, you listen, figure out what they want and do it.

Patience....
The greatest secret of life -- knowing when to do what, kinda like the song says, "you gotta know when to hold em know when to fold em"
Sometimes it just pays to be patient.....

A Correspondent Reports....
'My mailbox is being flooded with mail concerning gas prices and illegal immigrants. To boycott oil companies or not; to provide amnesty to illegal immigrants or not, etc. Since I have become jaded to the various solutions proposed by the Republicans, Democrats, Sierra Club, ACLU, etc., I have elected to solve the problems as they affect me. It solves both my gas and illegal immigrant problems. I have hired illegal immigrants to push my car. They're plentiful and cheaper than buying gas. Then I pay them in pesos so they have to go home to spend it. I love it when a plan comes together.'
