Auto Industry Bailout? What the F***?

Today on my Republican Blog: Earlier today, while watching CSPAN2’s coverage of Pres. Bush’s news conference about the auto industry rescue package, it suddenly hit me: I’m going about my job all wrong. While I come in early, stay late and work from home on weekends with the goal of increasing revenue; I’ve been wasting all of this time being great at my job- when I could’ve made more money by being terrible at it. Why should I spend all of my day trying to gain new accounts, babysitting my existing accounts (yeah, most buyers do act like 5 yr. olds), going to meetings about nothing and flying to the most boring cities (Springfield, IL anyone?) weekly? I should just sit in my office and check my fantasy football league stats all day, take 2 hour lunches, expense everything I can and only show up when it works for me. I was off today, but after seeing that nonsense I immediately called my division manager and told him that I’m going to require a lincoln towncar with a driver to take me to and from work on monday; and every day thereafter. If the CEO’s of General Motors and Chrysler can get a 13.4 billion dollar christmas gift for doing a terrible job, while also bringing their companies to the brink of bankruptcy- I at least deserve a chauffer for making my company money in 2008. So to Bob Nardelli and Rick Wagoner: I wish I were you. To Henry Paulson: bail me out. And to all of you out there reading this: get on your Republican Blogs, your Libertarian Blogs, your Democratic Blogs (I know ya’ll read me too) and contact your local elected officials on their respective websites and blogs and let them know how you feel. Merry Xmas!
