Angry Looking for a Job?

Quote:
Dear Boss,

I have enjoyed working here these past several years. You have paid me very well, given me benefits beyond belief. I have 3-4 months off per year and a pension plan that will pay my salary till the day I die and a health plan that most people can only dream about.

Despite this I plan to take the next 12-18 months to find a new position.

During this time I will show up for work when it is convenient. In addition I fully expect to draw my full salary and all the other perks associated with my current job.

Oh yes, if my search for this new job proves fruitless, I will be back with no loss in pay or status. Before you say anything, remember that you have no choice in the matter. I can and will do this.

Sincerely,

Every Senator or Congressman running for President.
Try that at your job and let us know how it works out.

Yeah like it's comparable to any other job, the job of running the superpower of the world.

:rolleyes:

What a dumb thread.

Yes and no.

Yes, the United States is a superpower that needs to keep it's place in the world hierarchy.

No, this is not a dumb thread.

Yeah it's a dumb thread. It's all doom and gloom in Lumara world. No matter what any politician does, they are never good enough. They can't even run for an election without Lumara getting a dig in.

Why should they be allowed to collect a salary from the American people while they're out on the road ignoring their duties as Senators?

They should be forced to resign and a special election held to fill their vacancy.

Well, you and Lumara have the same doom and gloom outlook on everything, so it's no wonder you think it's funny. I still think it's stupid. How is someone supposed to get elected without campaigning? It's a ridiculous thread.

Well, they can't of course. And they can't do their job that they are getting paid for if they are out campaigning. So, the point is, they are out campaigning on tax money that they are received to do a job that they can't do adequately if they are out campaigning.

I think you just think its a stupid thread because you are afraid someone is going to bring up the number of times the main contenders were missing on important votes during their campaigns .

BTW, what the heck is the meaning of the sig "Obamanos"? Does it mean "Obama, get out". ?
