"Huge Fire At Warehouse Full Of Smoke Detectors."
Irony is a delightful thing.

Good!
Couldn't happen to a better constitutional-rights-robbing-leftist-multimillionaire Andrew McKelvey, who is behind the inappropriately named Americans for Gun Safety.

From what I've gathered talking to people, the worst thing that could happen to you is to have to resume in the Monster.com database.
Networking and contacts are the real gold.

"Busman's holiday........"Physician, heal thyself".....the shoemaker's barefoot children....etc....." They probably told the 250 pink-slippers,
"We've got good news and bad news. First, the bad news. You're all fired. Now the GOOD news. You can all become new clients of our company!"

I put my resume on Monster.com in about 1996, and for
FIVE YEARS I received constant spam relating to get-rich-quick schemes. It finally stopped when I changed ISPs and got a new email address.
I wonder how much money the loss of my privacy contributed to that scam organization?
