I want my same old job back, and my stapler back at my cubicle (it was my stapler, actually, not the companies, but I left it behind after being laid off. It ran out of staples but it was one of the old fashioned heavy ones. I wonder whose using it now). Of course, the building has been sold so I'll have to get my old job back somewhere else, but the dream lives on. I'm willing to commute to my old job.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6514745.post-59293189399551524702009-09-05T12:11:20.928-07:002009-09-05T12:11:20.928-07:00I think 8:33 was a bit tongue in cheek.I think 8:33 was a bit tongue in cheek.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6514745.post-25174819530546963682009-09-05T08:34:22.321-07:002009-09-05T08:34:22.321-07:008:33 WHY would you even want your job back?
