I wonder if Santa had to let go of some elves because of the bad economy. Do you think some elves are out there right now looking for a job? What kind of jobs would they go for? Clerical? IT?
"So, it says here that you have magic fingers. What does that mean?"
"Well, I can magically put together a toy train."
"Hmmm...yes...I see. But can those magic fingers help if we lose vital information on our network."
"Um...yes?"
"You're hired!"
YAY! It's a Christmas miracle!
Maybe the Keebler elves are looking for help.
"So what can you bring to this company?"
"Well, I'm a magical elf...so...there's that."
"Right. Can you make a sandwich cookie by putting chocolate in between two elf cookies?"
"Um...I can put together a doll...does that count?"
"Yeah...we don't really do that sort of thing here. How are you at customer service?"
"Um...I'm a magical elf?"
"We'll call you."
I guess that's not much of a miracle. Oh well. You win some, you lose some.
I'm off to see if the Lucky Charms guy needs an understudy.
Enjoy!

no money
It's official! We're in a recession! So...let's have a recession party! Isn't that what people do? You could have a parade and call it a "Recession Procession!" Clever, no?
It's gotten so bad that the CEO of Ford will make his salary $1 a year if he gets money from the government. I can't imagine only getting $1 every year. I think the CEO of Ford has a lot of money saved up, so he'll probably be fine, but what happens when all of us are asked that? After taxes, that's like 64 cents!
"Guess what I bought with my salary this year!"
"What?!"
"A Snickers bar!"
"Hot Dog! Did you get the King Size!"
"no..."
"oh...sorry...wanna bite of my King Size 3 Musketeers?"
"nah...you earned it."
These are rough times. I do hope for the best. I certainly don't want to lose my job and I'm guessing you don't either. Unless you do...well, good luck! If your company has an opening after you leave, let me know. I may need it soon!
If you're looking for some clever ways to save money, you should probably ask somebody else. I'm not exactly a financial advisor. Unless, of course, you would like me to tell you to buy me comic books. That's the best advice I can give!
Oh, and if you want to buy me a sweater vest, I wouldn't say no. I like argyle. I could use some argyle socks too. I'm nothing if not a snappy dresser!
I'm off to buy my one candy bar.
Enjoy!
