Come and listen to a story 'bout a man named Jed,<br>A poor college kid, barely kept his family fed,<br>But then one day he was talking to a recruiter,<br>Who said, "they pay big bucks if ya work on a<br>computer..." <br><br>Windows, that is... PC's... Workstations...<br><br>Well, the first thing ya know ol' Jed's an Engineer.<br>The kinfolk said "Jed, move away from here".<br>They said "California is the place ya oughta be",<br>So he bought some donuts and moved to Silicon<br>Valley...<br><br>Intel, that is... Pentium ... Big Amusement park...<br><br>On his first day at work, they stuck him in a cube.<br>Fed him more donuts and sat him at a tube.<br>They said "your project's late, but we know just what<br>to do. Instead of 40 hours, we'll work you 52!"<br><br>OT, that is... Unpaid... Mandatory...<br><br>The weeks rolled by and things were looking bad.<br>Schedules started slipping and some managers were mad.<br>They called another meeting and decided on a fix.<br>The answer was simple... "We'll work him sixty-six!"<br><br>Tired, that is... Stressed out... No social life...<br><br>Months turned to years and his hair was turning grey.<br>Jed worked very hard while his life slipped away.<br>Waiting to retire when he turned 64,<br>Instead he got a call and was escorted out the door.<br><br>Laid off, that is... De-briefed... Unemployed...<br><br>Now the moral of the story is listen to what you're<br>told, Companies will use you and discard you when you're<br>old. So gather up your friends and start your own firm,<br>Beat the competition, and watch the bosses squirm.<br><br>Millionaires, that is... Bill Gates... Steve Jobs..."<br><br>Y'all come back now... ya hear' <!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :roll --><img src=http://www.boomspeed.com/natila/falldownlaugh.gif ALT=":roll"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> <p><table border=0><tr><td><embed align=left src=http://www.thzclan.com/avatars/ezice.swf menu=false quality=high bgcolor=#000000 width=217 height=166 type=application/x-shockwave-flash pluginspage=http://www.macromedia.com/shockwave/dow ... <td><table border=0 style='Filter: Shadow(Color=#BB1403,Direction=255)'><tr><td><span class='usertitle'>XMEN Iceman [DTM]<br>Founder and Leader of the Base Tribes XMEN Clan<br>Proud member of the Dragon Talon Mercenaries teamplayers Guild<br>Citizen of New Fenecia<br><br>You weren't much of a challenge - T2 bot after killing Iceman<br><br>- click on avatar for links - no, not sausage links!</span></td></tr></table></td></tr></table></p><i>Edited by: <A HREF=http://p090.ezboard.com/bxmenclan.showU ... ceman>XMEN Iceman</A> at: 8/26/04 4:28 pm<br></i>
