NEW POST TO MAKE UP FOR SUCKY POST!

AMERICAN ROWING TEAM- 6 PEOPLE PRESENT- 3 MORE BACK AT HOTEL JUST NOW GETTING THE MEMOS THAT THE RACE HAD BEGUN!

A Japanese company and an American company decided to have a canoe race on the Missouri River . Both teams practiced long and hard to reach their peak performance before the race. On the big day, the Japanese won by a mile.

The Americans, very discouraged and depressed, decided to investigate the reason for the crushing defeat. A management team made up of senior management was formed to investigate and recommend appropriate action. Their conclusion was the Japanese had 8 people rowing and 1 person steering, while the American team had 8 people steering and 1 person rowing.

So American management hired a consulting company and paid them a large amount of money for a second opinion. They advised that too many people were steering the boat, while not enough people were rowing.


To prevent another loss to the Japanese, the rowing team's management structure was totally reorganized to 4 steering supervisors, 3 area steering superintendents and 1 assistant superintendent steering manager. They also implemented a new
performance system that would give the 1 person rowing the boat greater incentive to work harder. It was called the "Rowing Team Quality First Program", with meetings, dinners and free pens for the rower. There was discussion of getting new paddles, canoes and other equipment, extra vacation days for practices and bonuses.

The next year the Japanese won by two miles. Humiliated, the American management laid off the rower for poor performance, halted development of a new canoe, sold the paddles, and canceled all capital investments for new equipment.

The money saved was distributed to the Senior Executives as bonuses and the next year's racing team was outsourced to India .

URINE TEST


Like a lot of folks in this state, I have a job.

I work, they pay me.

The government takes 40% and distributes my taxes as they see fit.

In order to get that paycheck, I am required to pass a random urine test.

I have no problem with that.


What I do have a problem with is the distribution of my taxes to people who don't have to pass a urine test.

Shouldn't one have to pass a urine test to get a welfare check because I have to pass one to earn it for them?!


Please understand, I have no problem with helping people get back on their feet.

I do on the other hand have a problem with helping someone sitting on their ass, doing drugs, while I work.

Can you imagine how much money the state would save if people had to pass a urine test to get a public assistance check??!!

Something has to change in this country and soon!!!

  2. SNICKER- YOU KNOW HOW MANY WE SEE AT URGENT SCARE COMING IN DAILY JUST TO GET A FEW VICIDIN OR WHATEVER...IT'S RIDICULOUS. AND I THINK IT'S BEACAUSE THERE LIVES ARE SO BORING AND MONOTONUS THAT THEY HAVE TO DO ANYTHING THEY CAN TO CHANGE THEIR "reality". aND SINCE YOU CAN'T BUY ALCOHOL WITH mEDICIAD OR FOOD DATAMPS- THEY COME IN AND GET THE fre!!!!! rX MEDICINES!

    Dadgum caps lock. I'm not judging these poor people but it must be a pretty sad existence if that is all you have to do in life and have to live for. I really do feel sorry for them and I'm extra nice to them in Triage and it blows them away. They don't know how to handle Niceness because they are so used to being kicked while they are down.

    I really wish there was more we could do for the ones that genuinely want help and to get out and off of the system. But most of them don't. They are blissfully happy at getting paid to have babies and stay at home!

    Oh well, but for the Grace of God go I! Right!

    Have a great week chrysalis and pull for those SC Gamecocks tonight when we play Kentucky!!!

    You Brother in Christ,

    John
