I just saw a teenager wearing a bmx helmet riding up the road on what looked like a bicycle that had been converted into a tricycle with a small lawnmower engine between the rear wheels.

The upside is the pay rate is 9.00 an hour for a concierge vs 7.50 an hour as a ticket seller. Also I get to sit down AND I'M IN AC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The downside is that it's a longer day-clocked in at 755 and clocked out at 645. Also they only have a concierge at that hotel 2 days a week Fri and Sat, so it's back to the great outdoors for me the rest of the week.
Ah well, it's a start.

Re: What made you smile today? Part III
Reading a new poll that shows 2/3 of Americans disapprove of the way the republicans are handling the debt crisis and that 2/3 agree with a balanced approach of reduced expenditures and some tax increases. Perhaps the Tea Party and the Repubs who have been kissing their asses just might pay dearly in the next election.
What made me pissed me off? A Tea party Repub saying "Principles are not negotiable." When what he meant was, theirs have to be but ours aren't.
