joke of the day
A motorist, after being bogged down in a muddy road, paid a passing farmer fifty dollars to pull him out with his tractor. After he was back on dry ground he said to the farmer, "At those prices, I should think you would be pulling people out of the mud night and day."
"Can't," replied the farmer. "At night I haul water for the hole."
phoner...
Here was the big topic on the day time chat shows yesterday... PLAY (The View/Live with Michael and Kelly)
Apparently kissing your dog can lead to gum disease... all that bacteria in Fido's mouth can cause periodontal problems. But do you care?
Grow up, you're 28!
At what age did you consider yourself no longer 'young'? If you ask women, it's after your 28th birthday -- time to grow up! A new survey found 28 years old is the line in the sand to start concentrating more on work, and less on your sex life.
How come guys don't have a problem making time for both?
Another lie from the 80's!
Every movie in the 80's had the same theme -- the popular kids always lost out in the end. Well it turns out that is simply... NOT TRUE! Thanks to science, we're finding out that the popular kids in high school went on to become even more popular, and rich, too! The study concluded that the kids who developed decent social skills early on, were successful later. Shocker.
And if this were your kid's mother?
What would you do?
Idol Rocks...birthday party?
"This is surreal...it should not be happening.'
That's Michael Henrichsen who will be celebrating his 26th birthday with Billy Idol on Friday night. Michael has been working for 2 years to get his music Idol to play at his party by building a website (playmybirthdaybillyidol.com), and then getting celebrities to endorse it. Kevin Nealon, Rick Springfield, former Seattle Mariner Jay Buhner, and porn star Ron Jeremy, all helped out.
After some media attention, Idol's people called Michael and told him to get ready, because Billy's coming to town.
'It's gonna be pretty much the coolest night ever,' says Henrichsen, whose birthday was Monday. 'We'll have as much fun as possible before we get to the 9-5."
Facebook/Phones: You get one artist...any artist to perform at your birthday -- who?
Things HR Won't Tell You
Yikes! If you think someone is reading that nice cover letter you sent in, you're kiddin' yourself. It turns out that the folks in HR have a few secrets, and they confessed to Yahoo! that...
"Once you're unemployed more than six months, you're considered pretty much unemployable. We assume that other people have already passed you over, so we don't want anything to do with you."
"When it comes to getting a job, who you know really does matter. No matter how nice your résumé is or how great your experience may be, it's all about connections."
"We will judge you based on your e-mail address. Especially if it's something inappropriate like kinkyboots101@hotmail.com or johnnylikestodrink@gmail.com."
"If you're in your 50s or 60s, don't put the year you graduated on your résumé."
"Most of us use applicant-tracking systems that scan résumés for key words. The secret to getting your résumé through the system is to pull key words directly from the job description and put them on. The more matches you have, the more likely your résumé will get picked and actually seen by a real person."
"Is it harder to get the job if you're fat? Absolutely. Hiring managers make quick judgments based on stereotypes. They're just following George Clooney's character in Up in the Air, who said 'I stereotype. It's faster.'"
Wow! There are more here
