I just don't trust companies any more. Job security in this day and age seems rarer than a solar eclipse occurring on leap year. Budget cuts are more common than paper cuts and it seems that quality employees are being dropped like a cruel game of hot potato. Sadly with this economy in shambles many people are desperate for get not poor schemes as get rich schemes don't seem in reach. Many people are making money scamming the unemployed people out of money which is revolting and disgusting.
Right now the best option in this day and age seems to be to start a honest business from home within a particular niche market. The other option seems to be finding small opportunities on the internet to get paid doing surveys, copywriting, promoting companies that want to whore out products, and my favorite begging for donations. Honestly I don't blame anyone anymore for trying to make money legally by any means necessary. I used to laugh at an episode of the Simpsons where homer urged people to send one dollar to happy dude if they wanted to be happy. Now its a genius idea. In fact I heard of this website where this guy begged for five dollar bills and made like 20 thousand dollars. Online begger or entrepreneur genius? In this day and age who cares what the label is as long as you have money in your bank account.

Great idea. I think everybody should send me money - no - scratch that - everybody with a decent job should send me money - then I could retire - let a younger guy take my job - and I could write and paint and chase younger women.
Good Luck!
Snicker to Lou's comment.. :)
And if you come across anything worth while.. let me know.. hehehehe
If I don't get a chance.. I wanted to say HAPPY HOLIDAYS to you and yours.. :)
Thanks for the DM's yesterday!! :)
I'd love to hit a way to make a pile of money--if you find one, will you share?
Amen to that. Now, send me $5.00.
Just don't pull a Madoff ok?
Yup, I totally agree. The last company I worked for tried the "donate just $1" and get a free pixel to post a photo on their page. If they filled their million pixels, they'd get a million dollars.
Spot on Tim! Thanks for all the support of my blog this year! Keep up the funny sh#$! Hope you enjoy the holidays and have a SAFE and Happy New Year!
love your sentiments of humor and seriousness about what's happening around us. i couldn't agree with you more...
This reminded my of an article I recently read about a girl who couldn't afford university so she wrote about 200 letters to the richest people in Canada and 2 out of 200 sent her checks - in the amounts of $20,000 and $30,000. See? Begging totally works!
Clearly the solution to these hard economic times is to start a Happy Dude T-Shirt business, and clean up.
Either that or become an exotic dancer...maybe rob a few banks..failing that you'd have to be a part of The Big Three bail-out plan.
hmmmm-maybe I need to do this. I will send you a dollar if you send me one but that probably won't get me anywhere. BTW-can David send me that link he mentioned so I can put your fabulous banner on my site? I am sorry I have not emailed him back but I need my sogeshirts banner so everyone can enjoy you as much as I do!
