I found this on federalreview.com today. Too funny...

A Brooklyn state assemblyman wants a special hotline to report drivers who are talking on hand-held cell phones. Assemblyman Feliz Ortiz says the hotline would connect to the State Department of Motor Vehicles. The caller would report the time, date, location and license plate number of the car being driven by the talker.
Think about this for more than two seconds and it becomes obvious that this plan is flawed. The only people who are going see a person using a cell phone while driving would be other drivers. And how are those other drivers going to call the hotline unless they use their own cell phones while driving?

I just dound this on somone elses web log, it made my day...

For those of you who watch what you eat...Here's the final word
on nutrition and health. It's a relief to know the truth after
all those conflicting medical studies.

1. The Japanese eat very little fat and suffer fewer heart
attacks than the British or Americans.

2. The Mexicans eat a lot of fat and also suffer fewer heart
attacks than the British or Americans.

3. The Japanese drink very little red wine and suffer fewer heart
attacks than the British or Americans.

4. The Italians drink excessive amounts of red wine and also
suffer fewer heart attacks than the British or Americans.

5. The Germans drink a lot of beer and eat lots of sausages and
fats and suffer fewer heart attacks than the British or
Americans.

CONCLUSION: Eat and drink what you like. Speaking English is
apparently what kills you.

Discouraged today.
Stock price plummited.
We can't hire back those we laid off now that we're hiring again 1 month later, as officially in their employee records we documented each of them was let go for performance issues (but didn't tell them).
Bulk email from various executives tell us what spin we should put on all our bad news if anyone asks.
Husband hates his new job even though it pays more, might quit & try to go back where he came from.
Beautiful 10 year old daughter slipped in the bathtub this week end and chipped a small part of a front tooth off. Dentist smoothed it, but says you can't restore that part of a front tooth because it's too "high stress."
4 year old son will be 5 in 2 weeks, but is such an angry, destructive boy. Last night husband was out, son just hit us (me and his sister) over and over and kept throwing shoes and toys.

What I have going for me:
I make a full time pay check (such as it is) and still get off at 3:00 and can pick my daughter up as she gets off from school and take her straight home like an at-home mom.
I work so close to home and so close to my kids' school and day care it is not even funny.
My new desk is right under the heating vent! Its so tropical at my new desk!
I have 30 days off to take by December 31, 20 vacation days, 8 sick days, and 2 personal floating holidays; and every few weeks I work on a Saturday and get a week-day off in return!
I surf the internet at my desk all the time, so far no one's complained, although it could happen at any time. Any networking guy could figure it out, but I don't think anyone really checks. But like I said, they could.
The Adam and the Ants bullitin boards I check frequently really cheer me up!

Sorry I'm such an incredible downer today.
