I agree with that, my company is doing it too, last year they laid off a department and now my department does that job, they are going to do it again this coming year, 3 jobs, one wage. I know I'm looking elsewhere, and so is half of the rest of those who do the job I do.
My recent post Not the life I want.

I love shopping. I prefer to do it early in the morning if possible, before the idiots head out.

I used to love the crowds more than I do now. I get frustrated too easily. I have the hardest time in Costco if it's busy. I don't understand the mentality of a set of parents going there, with their 5 kids in tow. How about one of you go out and one stay home and watch the kids. I often find myself yelling "does this one have an owner or a leash?"

As for customer service I've noticed a decline of it lately, which to me is shocking, because usually when the economy sucks, service goes up, trying to win your dollars. I demand good customer service though, it's probably because I have worked in client service fields for a long time.

WTF? Step away from the bong...

One positive to Utah is that the Mormons really enjoy halloween. JUST AS LONG AS YOU DON'T CROSS DRESS.

Sounds like perhaps another religious text that's full of contradictions. I'm shocked!

I would vote for Jon Huntsman. But he will never get the republican nomination, he's way too moderate.

I usually don't buy candy for Halloween, I usually buy little bags of chips. Now that I know that witches pray over the candy, I'm totally buying it again this year.

Pat's comments were morally wrong according to his own religion. He's a dick.

That being said, his comments make sense for some couples financially. My elderly grandmother still lives with us, and she regularly goes to her local senior center. We talked one time about how she is seeing more and more senior couples choose to live together, or maintain separate residences instead of getting married so that if one spouse needs long term care they will qualify for more financial assistance, and the couple won't be forced to lose everything, because only one person's income will be counted toward government assistance. She also knows a couple who chose to divorce so that the husband could get help with her care. They couldn't afford the help she needed but they didn't qualify if both incomes were counted, but hers alone did.

The tragedy here is that the party of "sanctity of marriage" has created fiscal policies that don't favor marriage and help with expensive medical care.

"The Lemming Condition" (Good book btw). I am not a scientist, not even a little, but I would suspect that it is part of our evolution and instinct to want to pick leaders and follow them. If society was full of leaders and no followers or vice versa I would suspect we wouldn't get much accomplished. It's just too bad religious leaders have exploited that need for millennia instead of humanity picking leaders who are interested in progressing society instead of profit.

Whenever I hear a local Catholic make fun of Mormon underwear, I like to point out that they believe in cannibalism.
