Where's j0ker?????

[jj2]

Well that's bad Ralph for your business.
I am with you though. They keep saying things are getting better, but a lot of people are still out of work.
Our neighbor just got cut out of his job because of downsizing. Doesn't seem to stop prices from going up though!

 

[jj2]

Yes poor you. You're posting here at night!! Was it slow at the beach last night?

Sorry life is not treating you well Renee or Ralph or Nora. Hopefully things will get better.

Jan you tell Vapo to get over here soon or else

I feel like I'm running around in circles in the RW myself.

Me too!!!

And where the hell is breakfast?? Ralph I can't lie in bed all day.

Breakfast is served Z. A little bit of everything, except sausage. (cutbacks, ya know)

It's an illusion. The unemployment numbers don't tell us much cause there are so many people that gave up and aren't in the job market any more. Those folks don't count. However, I think the lie is necessary as this country survives on "mood". So, the idea is to keep us all as upbeat as possible.... as we continue to tank.

I somehow doubt that.

It is. I cringe when there is an IT calamity at one of the fragile companies. Cause I know I will be doing a lot of work... billing for half... and hoping they can pay. But who to rescue them if not me? Will they remember this in better times? Unlikely.

 

[jj2]

Well you get a gold star Ralph.
Really you deserve it because there aren't many businesses or people that would do that.

Breakfast looks yummy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I don't know about all that Gold Star stuff. I'd like to think its noble and all that... But the reality is that if a customer tanks, I have lost a customer. Not good for them, and not good for me. So, I am sharing their pain a bit to keep us both alive. The biggest problem for me is that most of these businesses are in such a penny pinching mode that they cant afford to do anything the "right way". So, it's bubble gum and band-aid fixes.



I'm getting hungry myself.

Wishing Michael McKean/David St. Hubbins a speedy recovery. (And you wouldn't believe how hard it is to find a clip of the Stonehenge song without the "**** the napkin" leadin.)


ETA: Argh. It cuts off before my favorite David St. Hubbins line "Stonehenge in danger of being crushed by a dwarf."

Night jag.
And you must be tired too...you're saying night early.

Exercise does that to you.

Bye JaG. Hi Lis! How was work? Did you get them potatoes peeled?

Bye and hi!

Some will remember, but most...no. I had 90% + customer loyalty when consulting, but it's still dollars and cents.



Good day J0kers!

I can "get by" with a laptop, netflix, junk food and water. I have spent a few days working from bed before. Not good for the skeleton though. Humans need fresh air and a couple hours sunlight at least once a month.

Evening j0kers. I will be in semi-lurk mode cause I got work to do.
