FIRE ME IMMEDIATELY by Steve Nadis

Jim O’Brien has my dream job. Yesterday, the Philadelphia 76ers organization fired O’Brien, who had been the team’s head coach, and he’ll now get $12 million over the next three years for doing absolutely nothing. Now that’s a job I’m perfectly qualified for. And it’s something I could do at least as well as O’Brien and probably better on account of my experience. So how come he’s sitting pretty there in Philly, doing what we professionals call “bubkis,” while I’m over here scrounging for a living? Hardly seems fair when put in those terms. The situation, moreover, raises an obvious question: How come I don’t get jobs like that?

    Yes — you and most all of us are contemplating the same question. I found this to be ironic, as I have been seeking jobs here in the local classifieds. . .

    Cheers,

    Good luck with your job search. Maybe we can compete for O’Brien’s job.

    Ahhh, thank you! …But as to how I found your site, I simply enjoy reading others’ blogs, and I used the "Next Blog" function. I like reading the blogs focussed on current events, politics, culture, etc — and not necessarily the blogs focussed on "billy kissed so-and-so", etc, etc. ..So needless to say, for blogspot, yours was one in a million. I would like to continue stopping by every once in awhile.

    Take care.

    Cheers,

    Thanks Chrystal. I hope it’s "one in a million" in a good way. And good luck with your blog, "Thoughts on the Wire."
