BUT THIS TIME I'M RETURNING THE FAVOR.

Back in June I gave up my full time position at Gillette(that I could have continued and just gone to night school) in order to return to school and finish this April, on time.

Since then, I have been unemployed, living off my bank account and in dire need of tax money to be returned from that job. Just 2 weeks ago, the manager above me called saying they were unable to find someone to fill my position still and they were interested in me coming back. After telling him I'm available 3 days a week due to school he took the info and said someone would get back to me. Today, the top manager called and offered full days on those 3 days I'm off.

So, within 1-2 weeks I will be returning to work 3 days a week, for some really good money(better than before, and before was amazing). Finally the financial woes I was worried about when graduating will be gone in due time, I'll have enough money to keep the good times flowing with the new lady friend, and I'll have enough money for that new turntable I've been eyeing.......JOE!!!!!!!

Things are really looking good and I finally carry on with a clear conscious and not live in panic due to financial reasons.

    There is no genuine justice in any scheme of feeding and coddling the loafer whose only ponderable energies are devoted wholly to reproduction. Nine-tenths of the rights he bellows for are really privileges and he does nothing to deserve them. We not only acquired a vast population of morons, we have inculcated all morons, old or young, with the doctrine that the decent and industrious people of the country are bound to support them for all time.-Menkin
