The budget shortfall has effected us all, so you will be tasked with completing the school according to plans...We will all learn as we go and feel that you will take even more pride in your school when finished...Your teachers have their assignments and you will be working under them....Those that excel at their jobs will possibly be able to join this company on a permanent basis, with your parents permission of course....Now if anyone has to go the restroom raise your hands....

Oh brother.....

This is what happened after OSHA visited the Wonka Chocolate Factory. Something about five accident reports shortly after a factory tour. Seems the parents of the kids on the tour thought things weren't safe.

HR determined that we could hire 18 entry-level people for half the cost of hiring the two experienced people we need. "Surely you'll be more productive" they said.

Really, I always felt that American politics were for people that could not make it and the real world and failed at everything else.

Its a form of welfare for the practical incompetent.

Removed. Too similar to someone else's entry.

How do I delete an entry within the edit time? Or at least move to off topic?

Thanks for your help.

I looked for but didn't find the option to select "off topic" from the edit path. I'll look for it again on this post.

After checking again during edit: I still can't find "off topic". On an initial post it is immediately below this very field. It didn't move to the preview (next) screen either. Oh well.
