So, it's the middle of the summer and even though most of you are off on vacation and doing whatever it is people do in tents and that kind of thing, I thought I'd do a quick post on what you should be thinking about when you're out there climbing mountains or waterskiing.
GULF OIL SPILL: If you haven't heard, there's a huge spill out in the gulf right now and it ain't gettin' any better. How will this affect your bottom line? Don't worry, I've been watching the price of baby oil at the grocery store and it's remained the same throughout this entire disaster. BOTTOM LINE - overhype.
WORLD CUP SOCCER: Or football, or whatever it is the Estonians call it. Spain plays Holland this Sunday. If you don't want to be seen as clueless at work on Monday, watch this game. Also, if you can, while watching the game, try to pick up a bit on the rules and strategies. That way you might actually be able to carry on a conversation about it when the subject comes up in the company break room. Oh, yeah, and if you haven't placed a bet yet, I'm picking Spain in a blowout over the Dutch, 35 to 7.
ECONOMIC RECOVERY: This is the biggest load of bologna I've heard. Everyone's talking about a crisis, but I don't see it. Why, you might be asking yourself? Well, first of all, it's been real rainy here for the last month -- a totally wet and soggy beginning to the summer. "So, what?" Well, when it rains grass grows right? "Right." And when grass grows people need there lawns mowed right? "Right." And when people, especially Mrs. Miller, need their lawns mowed I offer to mow their lawns for a fee and consequently can pay my mom rent for my basement apartment and the monthly World of Warcraft membership right? "RIGHT!" So this big deal everyone is making about the economy is, as far as I'm concerned, malarky.
For the Hoard,
Decateur-out
