Necessity is the Mother of Invention but if it doesnt come with hot water and flush toilets, it is just not my thing.

It is kind of interesting to browse the help wanted ads, if there are any, to see they are looking for people with impecible skills, bubbly personalities, who are willing to work in hectic environment for peanuts. (Rough translation - non-complaining workhorse wanted to add to the disorganized, wasteful environment we call the workplace for minimum wage and no benefits.)

Living in a tourist area with a current unemployment rate of 13%, I was a bit miffed to see that employers are still being allowed to import workers from Jamica, Ireland, Russia etc.

And, it is unsettling to have found I wasnt allowed to refinance my mortgage due to idiotic new federal rules that were suppose to help me not hinder me.

I am thankful my Dad pounded into my head the need to pay myself before I pay any other bills. Savings have been a God send in this economy.

I'm thinking we should band together and become commodity brokers or risk taking bankers. Regardless of how crappy a job we do, we would still get millions in bonuses.
