new thread ping
Good morning everyone.
Thanks for new thread; what a lovely picture to start out with!
Well, sl, we got rid of our little dept. pet the other day, so maybe there is hope for you. She walked off the job, after being sent to training (and costing the company thousands). She is moving east to her supposed 6 figure job. All this after she dumped her bf while he is fighting in Iraq!! She had a total meltdown. Unfortunately, as per usual, we were left holding the bag and the assignments (which she didn't do even when she honored us with her presence). Good riddance.
Where is my coffee this morning *sniff, sniff*...
When prices go down that is a recession?
Its all confusing to me I just never took the time to figure out recession, depression, inflation etc
Does this mean price in all areas will be coming down?

Chinese-made bras, blouses and T-shirts are piling up at customs checkpoints across Europe, having already bumped up against import limits set earlier this year. The European Union has sent a team of officials to Beijing to negotiate a way out of the crisis. But European retailers are just as annoyed at the quotas as the Chinese. (Source: The Economist)

Faced with a choice between knowns and unknowns, income-minded investors may fall for a seductive illusion. They put their money in bonds, or other investments such as certificates of deposit, to gain the promise of being paid back a known sum at a specified time. They reject bond mutual funds because funds, with their continuously managed portfolios, have no maturity date. (Source: Bloomberg)

Nice Satureday Brunch!
You weren't supposed to tell Nully!
This is the bridge at Pedrido which I visited a couple of days ago, it has such a vast expanse of sand at low tide.
Oh nice! Donuts too!
well....this must be the week....my co-worker (another paralegal) quit yesterday....left a note for her boss (who's been out helping an outside attorney in a trial) and just walked out. She has a different boss than I...someone I used to have to work...I almost quit, too, a year ago; my current boss decided then, I think, it would be a good idea to have me work just for him, lol....yesterday, he handed me $200 before I went to lunch and said "thank you" for all your hard work. He's very nice; my-coworker's boss is not only ungrateful, but incompentent.
Another attorney put a call in to my co-worker and said if she wants to call him to discuss this over the weekend, she may....I thought that was very nice of him....my co-worker doesn't even work for him.
If I had turnovers, those would have been on the "menu" too, lol! : )
Morning BQ
