Check out the luxurious life of a person like me who works from home. Work is work but staring at the Eiffel Tower from your window would be a plus. Love the photos... welcome to my (not quite) life.

How COOL! It's like a mini-fanny pack. My friend and I just talked about how we wish fanny packs were still in style (LOL) because they're so convenient. Check this item out!

I wonder where she got it from? Who needs to wait 13 years for the attitude? I can get my daily dosage of it today! ;) 

 

Dear ......,

Thank you for your letter rejecting my application for employment with your firm.

 

I have received rejections from an unusually large number of well qualified organizations. With such a varied and promising spectrum of rejections from which to select, it is impossible for me to consider them all. After careful deliberation, then, and because a number of firms have found me more unsuitable, I regret to inform you that I am unable to accept your rejection.

 

Despite your company’s outstanding qualifications and previous experience in rejecting applicants, I find that your rejection does not meet with my requirements at this time. As a result, I will be starting employment with your firm on the first of the month.

 

Circumstances change and one can never know when new demands for rejection arise. Accordingly, I will keep your letter on file in case my requirements for rejection change.

 

Please do not regard this letter as a criticism of your qualifications in attempting to refuse me employment. I wish you the best of luck in rejecting future candidates.

 

Sincerely,

 

 

John Kador

 

I should be more persistent when I'm job hunting next time... hats off to you John.

Good to know I'm apparently just greedy. 1 out of 7 isn't so bad.

We're gluttons for infographics, and a team at Kansas State just served up a feast: maps of sin created by plotting per-capita stats on things like theft (envy) and STDs (lust). Christian clergy, likely noting the Bible Belt's status as Wrath Central, question the "science." Valid point—or maybe it's just the pride talking.

 

Greed
Average income compared with number of people living below the poverty line.

Envy
Total thefts (robbery, burglary, larceny, and grand theft auto) per capita.

Wrath
Number of violent crimes (murder, assault, and rape) per capita.

Sloth
Expenditures on art, entertainment, and recreation compared with employment.

Gluttony
Number of fast-food restaurants per capita.

Lust
Number of STD cases reported per capita.

Pride
Aggregate of the other six offenses—because pride is the root of all sin.

My daughter is my alarm clock... she's free and is not nearly as annoying (of course she's *never* annoying) as this device.
