just that we never have to worry about making a house note or utilities or food if we find ourselves without work. Makes life a whole lot less stressful from then on.

Hehe, Just for Dogmatix.

Written By A Very Wise Man.

I was driving to work yesterday when I observed a female driver
cut right in front of a pickup truck, causing him to have to drive on to
the shoulder to avoid hitting her. This evidently angered the driver
enough so that he hung his arm out his window and gave the woman the
finger.

"Man, that guy is stupid," I thought to myself. I ALWAYS smile nicely
and wave in a sheepish manner whenever a female does anything to me in
traffic, and here's why:-

I drive 80 km each way every day to work. That's 160 km each day.
Of these, 40 km each way is bumper-to-bumper. Most of the
bumper-to-bumper
is on a 4-lane freeway. Therefore, there are 3 other cars every 10
metres
for 80km per day. That works out to be 300 cars every km, or 24,000
cars.

Even though the rest of the 40-km is not bumper-to-bumper, I figure I
pass
at least another 10,000 cars. That brings the number to something like
34,000 cars that I pass every day. Statistically, females drive half of
these. That's 17,000 women drivers! In any given group of females, 1 in
28
has PMS. That's 607.

According to Woman's Day, 75% describe their love life as Dissatisfying
or
unrewarding. That's 455. According to the National Institute of Health,
24%
of all females have seriously considered suicide or homicide. That's
109.
And 37% describe men as their biggest problem. That's 40.

According to the National Rifle Association, 2.5% of all females carry
weapons, and this number is increasing. That means that EVERY SINGLE
DAY,
I drive past at least one female that has a lousy love life, thinks men
are
her biggest problem, has seriously considered suicide or homicide, has
PMS,
and is armed.

Give the woman the finger? ... I THINK NOT!

nope, my friend Sally asked her dad to hire me and he interviewed me and I got the job. I think mainly because I fixed her truck for her for free. we had only known eachother like 2 weeks at the time heh. I may be required soon to get my apprentice licence which will suck, I work anywhere from 10-14 hours a day and may be required to go to school as well.

Borta, I thought about you on my flight from El Paso to Chihuahua City last week. I had to fly on a frigging SAAB 340B? Little 30 passenger turboprop job. I was pissed! I guess I got spoiled by those 737s that go 820 KPH, that SAAB only went 500 something KPH. Then when I land what do I see? A Continental express passenger jet, looked like a large Learjet. I'm into getting from point A to point B as quickly as possible.

I must confess. I've done alot of jobs, worked offices, done hard outdoor work, worked in a pizzeria up to management, was an IT manager for over a year, and now I do the 5th most dangerous job in America, pizza deliveries! But I make way more doing pizza deliveries than anything else, including managment. Most of my money is cash tips that we deal with directly. I average 60-over 100 a day in tips alone easily. I am also a college student now and parent. Not easy to confess to this since the job holds such low respect. But I rent a great house, got all digital cable and cable modem internet. Almost paid off a 2001 Toyota Corolla S model. And we all use cell phones. So it keeps me covered untill I get a REAL job.

I feel better. I confessed to pizza delivery boy! (sigh)
