Unemployment Quotation of the Day

This is from the Los Angeles Times email newsletter that I receive each morning:

“‘You fill out a job application and you can’t write ‘long-range reconnaissance and sniper skills.’” ANDREW SPURLOCK, an Army infantryman who was disabled in the Iraq war, on his search for a job that paid better than delivering pizzas.

Here is the link to the original story in the New York Times. Sorry, again, yesterday news today. Unfortunately, the United States Postal Service can’t use him right now. They are laying off 40,000 employees, too. But that news is a few weeks old.

At least, Andrew, folks know what a sniper is. I’m a print buyer, a press checking color analyst, a hi res PDF maker, a magazine paginator. Try explaining that to someone at the unemployment office.

Yesterday’s News Today

Here’s a post from the Huffington Post about what President-elect Obama needs to do for our environment. Experts believe that a water shortage will affect about 32 states in the next two years. Remember Atlanta Summer of 2007?

I intended to post this yesterday, but was busy looking for work.
