As some of you know, I work for a group of heart surgeons... well, they've
dropped the axe on us and told us this morning that some of the fat must
be
trimmed...

They took away from us
- Medical Reimbursements
- Christmas Bonuses
- 2 offices are closing, 4 ppl out of 25 are getting released(the most pc
way of saying, "Your Fired!"

We have 3 offices in town, and plan is to consolidate 2 into 1 and close
the
3rd. Relocate the main office to a more thriving area of town...

Without further ado, I might bid you farewell from this property and maybe
find anew somewhere else.... if I'm lucky.

What does this mean? Apart from a lot of people not getting the help they
need I mean. I'm being selfish and wondering if this means you won't be able
to be online anymore? That would be a shame as you probably are one of the
most valuable contributors in here...

I hope that Red wouldn't stop contributing even if he had to change
jobs.

However, we are all responsible for the downsizing, not just the
doctors. We want to pay less for everything. Over my lifetime
medical care has become much more sophisticated. Bypass surgery has
become common place. We want the treatment, but we can't afford the
treatment. We sue doctors over any error. Lucky car mechanics don't
get sued. We want all of the miracle drugs, but want the government
to force pharmaceutical firms to sell without covering their costs and
making profits. We go to Wal Mart and buy Chinese goods for the low
price, then compalin about "out sourcing." We all contribute to what
we don't like buy our own actions.

I cannot whine about what companies do, unless there is Enron type
fraud while I continue to search for lowest prices and continue to
vote for representatives in government to keep control of prices that
often reflect more sophisticated products. We want less emmissions
from our cars, but lower prices for the same car. My local board of
education prides itself on keeping the tax rate down, while the
community complains about not having the latest computer technology or
a new bus for the sports teams to run about Texas.

Good luck Red. If you are one to be let go, have hope that the change
may well be to a better job. I was fired many times in my life and
usually ended up better off. Perhaps Bush is onto something important
when he speaks of portability of benefits as a desirable goal.

You haven't watched the news then.
They did do the recount, remember? He actually did win the popular vote...I
think it was only by 50 some votes, but that doesn't even matter because the
Electoral college decides who's in.
I'm not saying it was good or bad for our country (Bush), but he did win.
Did everyone simply ignore that? He did win the popular vote.

No, but since it was so close, and there *was* a question of the
accuracy of the pop vote, anyone who wanted Gore to win has a branch
to cling to, and tenacious they are. g

doesn't matter. Like you mentioned, he won in the Electoral college;
that is ALL that matters... it keeps a bunch of a-holes in NY and CA
from picking the president.

I did a little research on the matter of "popular vote totals"...and I do have
a couple sites in my fav folder, so if anyone wants them, just ask. = )
The totals after the recount still had Bush over Gore.
Being so darn close, I don't blame Gore for wanting a recount. However, I
didn't like it when he wasn't satified and wanted them recounted again. That's
just being a baby and having a sissy fit.
That aside, I wanted to mention that the total I first talked about was the
total *after* the recount was stopped by the courts. Mr. Bush was considered
the Presidential winner, but Florida still recounted those ballots anyway. It
didn't matter that they didn't and it wouldn't change anything, they just
wanted to know for sure.
I can understand that too. I wanted to know as well.
After all of that counting, recounting, and then the re count of the recount
and addition of the counties that were told not to recount..the man (Bush)
still had more votes.
Not by much at all. However, he did actually win the popular vote.
Whether anyone thinks that's a good thing or a bad thing, that is their opinion
to have.
To each his own.
However, to say that he did not win the popular vote is simply false.
