I couldn’t believe my eyes today when I turned around and saw this:
That’s my CEO(Scott) pushing his dog(Nick) and a cart around the office giving everyone cookies and milk.
We have a long time employee who is leaving the company soon. So someone thought it would be funny to get them a singing telegram to wish them well:
The singing telegram is a “clown” in a lab coat (on the left), the person being sung to is the mortified girl sitting under the balloons. Pretty hilarious. The telegram even popped a clown nose on her and made her a balloon hat (she promptly took both off though).
I love this place…
BTW, If you think you have a snowballs chance at making it in a sales position, we have like 10 positions open. I was shocked to learn today that I’m in the wrong business, because they make well over 3x what I make. As it turns out the average total pay for our experienced (5 years w/company) sales staff is $173k (WHAT?!? yep… think commission). Apply today at http://www.cik.com. List me as your referral so I can get the headhunter bonus. We have three other non-sales positions open as well (including graphic artist), but they aren’t even 1/4 as lucrative…
I just found a Conservative Republican candidate I can get behind. If you heard Fred Thompson in the debates last Thursday, and you’re a conservative, you know what I’m talking about. If you didn’t, check this out:
We would be a nation of high fences and wide gates, and we get to decide when to open the gate and when to close it. It’s not just 12 million people. We have to be concerned about another 12 million people.
you can tell that the news is good news coming out of Iraq because you read so little about it in the New York Times.
This is a battle for the heart and soul of the Republican Party and its future. On the one hand, you have a Reagan revolution; you have the Reagan coalition of limited government, and strong national security. On the other hand, you have the direction that Governor Huckabee would take us in. He would be a Christian leader, but he would also bring about liberal economic policies, liberal foreign policies.
He believes we have an arrogant foreign policy in the tradition of blame-America first. He believes that Guantanamo should be closed down and those enemy combatants brought here to the United States to find their way into the court system eventually. He believes in taxpayer funded programs for illegals, as he did in Arkansas. He has the endorsement of the National Education Association, and the NEA said it was because of his opposition to vouchers. He said he would sign a bill that banned smoking nationwide. So much for federalism, so much for state’s rights, so much for individual rights. That’s not the model of the Reagan coalition. That’s the model of the Democratic Party.
Awesomeness. This guy is actually conservative. I know, you’re saying he doesn’t have a chance because he hasn’t won anything yet, but there have only been two primaries so far, and in the NH primary more democrats and independents voted in the republican primaries than republicans. So we haven’t even begun to see how true Republicans (especially conservative republicans) will vote. I’m voting for Fred. He’s the candidate any true conservative can get behind.
Check out his website. Read the issues section (it will take you like five minutes tops):
This, my friends, is what will happen if we get a Democrat in the White House. This is the “wonderful” health-care Hillary would have us emulate (this guy has had an infected impacted wisdom tooth he’s been waiting over a month to have taken out because he has to get a “hospital referral”, and even once he gets that he has to wait even longer for his surgery. The referral just sets up the appointment).
Even without insurance, I would easily, and with only a few weeks notice, be able to have not one, but all FOUR of my wisdom teeth popped out, even if I didn’t need it. And in fact, I did. It was rather painless. Actually, I was asleep the whole time. Then after a few weeks recovery (which were not fun, because I got dry socket) I was perfectly fine and dandy.
I can not imagine the horror of living in a country where you can’t go to the doctor/hospital/whatever and have whatever you want done whenever you want it done (within reason). What the heck is a “hospital referral”??? This was like reading a horror story. I can’t believe any civilized country actually functions this way.
And, for the record, having all four wisdom teeth taken out (which are all impacted, which means they all require surgery) costs a measly $3k without insurance. Yeah, I know, that’s “A lot”, but really, it isn’t. You can spread that out over two credit cards, and the doctors can work out a payment plan. Plus, that’s with the optional “putting out” while it’s done (which, yes, is extra).
