    Wait, is this the one with the bodacious booty girls or the one with 50 Cent on the cover every month? Somehow I'm thinking there's a difference. Isn't there?

    I'd fancy working fewer hours if it meant keeping my health plan. Much less bother and paperwork than "signing on for the Dole" each week, debating the merits of COBRA, and arranging freelance gigs/setting myself up for a blizzard of 1099s.

    I there during a rail strike which, for some reason, only happened on Fridays. over the summer. And they kept making announcements on the train, apologizing.


    My personal favorite is being make redundant, which means there are 2 people doing your job, and one has to go. And it will be you

    This'll make you happy, HamNo - the FT are cutting because they've just announced plans to merge with Cat Fancy magazine. Financial Fancy - printed on pink, cat-embossed paper - will be available from 1st April 2009, in all good British outlets.

    In reply to Doughy Pillsbury Lawyer Demonstrates Why You Should Shut Up on Your Cell Phone
    Somebody needs to start a blog that's nothing but overheard cell phone conversations. (They need to actually be real, though, and include details and hopefully photos.) I guarantee two things:


    a) it will be hugely popular if done right


    b) it will finally get a lot of people to shut their damn traps.


    Even indirectly, because people will be fired over what shows up there.

    This is why I look back and forth furtively at all times while I'm on my cell phone to see if anyone is listening, like a spy!


    But I still say the secret stuff really loudly, significantly less like a spy.
