Sometimes I find only a few       cents a week, sometimes nothing and sometimes close to or over a dollar in       nickels, dimes and pennies).              > > N.A.V.Y. - N)ever A)gain V)olunteer Y)ourself. :P       >        > You'll get 'voluntold' (did you really step forward, or did every one else       step back?)                I saw that in action once.        My then major was calling for a volunteer among five of us. Four of us       took a step backward and one found himself front of them. :)              > I'll aply for a job against 20 of these kids with recent degrees &       experience                Too often kids fresh out of school and a piece of paper with the ink       barely dry seem to think they came waltz into some business and be made CEO off       the bat.        We have a lot of trouble in security with young people wanting a cheque       but not for any effort given.        I tell others if I ran the company it would be my policy to hire no one       under 30.         By then, hopefully, the people would have some idea of responsibility,       work ethic, etc.               > I decided not to get rid of my tumor anymore       > I dont know why, i guess it just grew on me.               ==Groan==        Joe       --- Platinum Xpress/Win/WINServer v3.0pr5        * Origin: Fidonet Since 1991 www.doccyber.org bbs.docsplace.org (1:135/392)       SEEN-BY: 1/120 123 14/0 15/0 18/0 19/36 30/0 80/1 90/1 103/705 105/81       SEEN-BY: 106/201 116/18 116 120/302 340 123/0 25 40 115 126 131 150       SEEN-BY: 123/160 180 190 200 257 755 129/305 135/300 366 371 379 382       SEEN-BY: 135/383 384 385 388 390 391 392 153/7715 154/10 218/700 221/1       SEEN-BY: 221/6 222/2 226/30 227/114 229/424 426 428 452 664 700 230/150       SEEN-BY: 230/152 240/1120 5832 249/206 307 317 400 250/1 261/38 100       SEEN-BY: 261/1466 266/512 267/155 275/100 280/464 282/464 1038 1056       SEEN-BY: 291/100 111 292/854 299/6 300/4 301/0 1 101 113 123 317/3       SEEN-BY: 320/119 219 322/757 335/364 340/400 341/66 342/200 396/45       SEEN-BY: 633/280 640/1321 712/848 801/161 189 920/1 3634/0 12 15 24       SEEN-BY: 3634/27 50 5020/1042 5058/104       PATH: 135/392 300 3634/12 261/38 301/1 229/426           |
