She has a job. That means no time for searches! Or reading! Or comprehension!

We should take care of it, since we're all lazy and using up unemployment anyway.

Right? I guess I should just wait on that letter from my org saying how disappointed they are in me, and how I make them all look bad. Sorry Jill

O crap. One of the founders just called me...and he is an ordained minister.

He is hot with me.
















trying to keep a straight face.

Some, yes, but not all, for sure. We do eat quite a bit of the cost. Which is why my system has had (essentially) a hiring freeze, cut retirement matching, has had no raises in 3 years (of any kind.. cost of living, merit, promotions), no bonuses in as long, and we pay more and more for our health insurance too. We have been providing more care than we are getting paid for and our net loss is growing as more and more people are unemployed.

Thanks for the correction.

But wait. Are you suggesting that health care and the uninsured actually may have an effect on the broader economy?!

Well my goodness.. imagine that thought?? Like, we could build more clinics and hospitals and buy more high tech equipment if we weren't losing all this money! And us employees would make more money so I could get that living room carpet I need? There could be construction jobs and durable medical equipment jobs and people might start going out to eat again.

It could happen

Maybe I'm mistaken...but didn't this chick say that she DIDN'T have a job in that long drawn out thread about people who don't have jobs being lazy? I don't want to read through all of it but I swear I thought she said she quit her job and is now a full time student.

As someone who is very involved with the Alumni chapters and her own collegiate chapter, I might just put my signature back in. I don't make Phi Mu look bad, people who go around complaining about not being able to find jobs with a college education (and years of experience) make their orgs. look bad.

I think this whole ObamaCare thing is stupid. I said it, I believe it. I don't give a damn if people in here appreciate my feelings, but last time I checked this was a chatroom for people to discuss their thoughts.

I just thought I'd QPF, even though she's already been quoted. I know there are Phi Mu Nationals members who lurk, specifically high up ones who happen to be from Michigan, who happen to know how bad our economy is and may have been affected by it. So, I'm glad you think highly of our sisters, because I am not the only one in this situation.

There's a reason why NPC orgs do not allow their members to wear letters on shows like The Real World. GC is getting just as bad and maybe they should start implementing (sp? wtf) that rule here. I cannot say how embarrassed I am right now.

I think you're right. She posted her resume` around the middle of that thread before the thread went further into fluff.
