Great;
Three more. Happy Thanksgiving, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. Don't you just love this Stimulus Package ?
Does this mean a possible early retirement package for you or just a possible lay off ? Neither one is really that great. Welcome to being 60... what ever happened to those Golden Parachutes ? Now they just throw you out of the Plane and if your lucky they give you a shopping bag w/ handles. Good luck landing.....
Good friend of ours had worked at Ford Motor company since he graduated from college. Western Regional Chief of Blah, Blah, Blah. Ford Home Office, Dearborn, MI. informs him that they are offering early retirements and oh, yes there will be lay offs if there are not enough people taking early retirement package. He figures that since he was not yet 60 and since he had such a long history and top position that he would not have anything to worry about. Talk about the wrong choice, he didn't take the Retirement Package. The only car he owned was a T-Bucket Roadster, the 3 new family vehicles were all supplied by Ford at no charge. He could buy one or all at Fords A Plan rate if he wanted, but he had to get his own financing. Good Morning, here are a couple of boxes please empty your desk while we watch and call your wife and son and have them bring the other two vehicles to the office. Is there someone you can call to come over and pick you up to drive you and the family home? Thanks Ford..... Took him 3 years to get a full time job. They just laid him off after 8 months. Ain't life swell ? He's detailing cars out of his garage, his wife is Catering events for friends, his son is thinking of joining the Armed Forces since there is no money to send him to College and the Daughter is still in High School.
I don't care who is serving in what political office, I want Term Limits and no special Retirement Packages or exemptions from Laws. If they make Campaign promises and don't keep them they should serve time and have to return the money we pay them. And who the hell put Jerry Brown and Barbra Boxer back in Office ?
OK, I'm done venting.
