Subject: Thursday Chat 01.08.09 by Matatk on 2009/1/8 13:39:48 Good Morning CGs! How is everyone feeling this morning? Hopefully everyone is over their little colds and flus and whatnot. So here's why I'm irritated. And it's gasoline, of course. The price has been steadily increasing over the past two weeks. It was 1.59 about 2½ weeks ago, now I saw it for 2.09 yesterday. WTF? I looked and oil was *down* five dollars a barrel yesterday. Sure it's been rising a little steaduly, but not that much. Irritating. Games. When I was driving around over the weekend gas by my house (which is usually cheapest) was 1.89, but I drove about 6 miles away and it was 1.69. That's not due to differences in rent and whatnot. BS. It's stations being greedy. They can use the gaza strip and whatever crap they want as an excuse, but it's getting old. Glad it's not $4 a gallon anymore (yet) but they're just toying with us now because they know that people are just excited gas isn't twice it's current price so they're happy to get it. OK, rant over. What's new with everyone else? Hope everyone has a great day! Matthew THURSDAY JOKE OF THE DAY: Government Job A guy goes to the U.S. Post Office to apply for a job. The interviewer asks him, "Have you been in the service?" "Yes," he says. "I was in Vietnam for three years." The interviewer says, "That will give you extra points toward employment." Then he asks, "Are you disabled in any way?" The guy says, "Yes. A mortar round exploded near me and blew my testicles off." The interviewer tells the guy he's hired, then informs him, "The hours are from 8 A.M. to 4 P.M. You can start tomorrow. Come in at 10 A.M." The guy is puzzled and says, "If the hours are from 8 A.M. to 4 P.M. then why do you want me to come in at 10 A.M.?" "This is a government job" the interviewer says. "For the first two hours we stand around scratching our balls... no point in you coming in for that." |
