If... :P

they made a pill that increased intelligence

Here are the Newspaper Headlines

If they tested it on animals:

Research Animals Escape Lab

Mysterious Mr Jingles Causes Las Vegas to Default, Now owns 90% of Nevada


If they tested it on humans/customers :

Research Lab Destroyed in Massive Explosion!

Apparently when you crush the pill mix it with feces and urine, and roll it, you get something akin to C4

two things...

yesterday i had a guy explain to me what he did for work, and word for word, this is what he said, "Yeah, I'm a general contractor, per say. you know, free lance." that in its self cracked me up, because it was just weird. but then, when he was leaving the store, i gave him my card, and he gave me his, and as he is leaving, i look down at this card and it only has a few things on it. one is his name and number, the other is the phrase, "professional and licensed trapper" and then the graphic is a mole in cross hairs and is says around the graphic, "professional mole extermination."

... and i about died. the best part is i know he could see me laughing in the store after he left.

This is unAmerican but..

AT&T, Verizon, others agree to LTE voice and SMS standards, ensuring international roaming
http://www.mobileburn.com/news.jsp?Id=8170 »

I'm just going to say it. What if the days of monopolies is dead? Meaning if we have a monopoly on a business in USA it still has competition overseas, maybe. If today the best a business can be is a monopoly because it lowers costs and offers the best service.

I'm just thinking this because everyone always wonders with all the convergence of business in the wireless industry...what if all wireless converged VZW and ATT with the same network and price structure on LTE, they might as well be the same company.

Bring on the monopolies.

Only a dream....

Things that i believe would make this place more Enjoyable as an employee.

1. Being able to smoke Inside. Just set up a little well ventilated room, kinda how you see in an airport, just not a glass room, kinda makes me feel like an animal in a zoo.

2. Alcohol. If calculated out, according the the employee handbook, you can have 1 beer an hour and still be under the limit to pass a piss test over an 8 hour period.

3. Better Incentives. Bonus and Games to inspire better performance.

4. Vacation time. I've been here 3 years and have no vacation time, damn it i deserve one.
