My skills are fine, it is my fear that people will be mad at me for interrupting their dinner that keeps me from making the big bucks.

I am simply amazed that anyone can find this kind of thing reasonable.

You are just mad that your skills are not up to snuff for getting such a good job.  Maybe if you had gone to school a bit longer?

This is the free market at work--you'll just have to try harder.

To get those NY government jobs, he'd have to live in or near to NY.

The medievals were only too right in taking nolo episcopari as the best reason a man could give to others for making him a bishop. Give me a king whose chief interest in life is stamps, railways, or race-horses; and who has the power to sack his Vizier (or whatever you care to call him) if he does not like the cut of his trousers.

Government is an abstract noun meaning the art and process of governing and it should be an offence to write it with a capital G or so as to refer to people.

Fuck, I am so screwed.
:lol: Did New York finally break into downstate and upstate?  Shit, I must have missed the memo.  Which part kept the state name?

It split into the following separate states:

The Former Dominican Republic of Lehman Brothers
Brokelyn
The Flatlands of Babel (aka Queens)
Halsteinbrennerland
The Richmond Garbage Heap
Lon Guyland
The Tax Collector Despotate of Westchester
The Great Northern Wilderness
The purpose of studying economics is not to acquire a set of ready-made answers to economic questions, but to learn how to avoid being deceived by economists.

I assume The Richmond Garbage Heap has fallen under the influence of New Jersey?
