Which I concur with. But it's not a job which mandates an absolute surfeit of intelligence to be competent at.

No but it should at least require the intelligence of not picking Karl Rove as your Chief of Staff. He's the Pillsbury dough man of evil.

that reminded me, i got my heartbroken too in Jan 08. Was pretty bad. But once i realised that hey, i can be strong n treat myself e way i very much deserve other than crying n such. That's when i become really strong, treating my body rite by exercising and eating right and loving myself. I'm much happier now, and i've met my now-boyfriend who's really sweet to me.. Things will work out eventually

I'd have to say getting my Truck and my Bass, were the greatest things of 08. Which...is kinda sad haha.

Done with college forever. <3

Till your employer asks you to improve your credentials for a big fat raise.... hehehehehehe...

Sorry just playing devil's advocate.... I too, remember the liberating feeling of finishing college and earning really serious money.... :-)

not to mention clinton, he was a rhodes scholar and is known to be rather intelligent.

best thing that happened in 2008 was probably my employment with my current company. nothing like graduating college and heading right into consulting

... of course it does have its downfalls, im the only person in my divison without a master degree or phd and the average age is over 50

Graduated from college and got a good job...

I could possibly argue that the best thing that happened to me in 2008 was it being over a couple of weeks ago...lol... bit of an unlucky year, but i am still counting my blessings!

2008 should, by all means, have been one of the best years of my life. Looking back now... "meh". I'll say the best thing was my vaca to LV, NV!

All the good was cancelled out by some bad... mostly thanks to crazy b-'s. I am no longer a fan of crazy b-'s.
