The old saying "good help is hard to find", is not really true.  It should be "good CHEAP help is hard to find."

I'm confused about something.  When Governor Lingle laid off a few hundred state workers,

http://www.starbulletin.com/news/20091003_state_hgea_could_reach_deal_in_days.html

she estimated it would be about 780 - 1,100 state workers, saving the state $25 million.

But if the same were to happen with the Education department, 2,500 workers would have to be laid off to save $20 million.

Are State workers really paid 3x as much as those in the education department?

Three Asian things to post about:

My friend Cathy, who is Chinese, told me that a German student who is attending the University of California - Berkeley with her was surprised to see tons Asians in California. Like he didn't think there were any Asians in the United States.  Cathy thought it was funny, and so did I, but after thinking about it, I have a theory as to why he thought that.

If you live in Germany, and have never visited the United States, what's going to determine what you think of the demographics?  Pretty much movies, tv shows, news, sports, and to some extent, music videos from the United States.  We pretty much have no Asians at all in any of them. The ones that are featured in movies, like Jackie Chan and Jet Lee, are from Asia, not the United States.  And the few Asians that are big in American sports are pretty much all from Asia. And we tend to not make the news by committing big crimes, or winning big elections, or anything that would get you lots of TV time.  So yeah, I can see why someone from Germany would think America has no Asians. =)

Capsun posted something on his facebook which I found funny:

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2009/12/06/palins-father-she-left-ha_n_381724.html

Palin's Father: She Left Hawaii Because Asians Made Her Uncomfortable - In her defense, I'd feel weird if I was white and grew up with all white people then went to a city with mostly all Asian people.  Like it'd be a big culture shock for me too.

In Japan, 'Herbivore' Boys Subvert Ideas Of Manhood - Why men in Japan are taking on the hobbies of women.  Probably the funniest NPR article I've ever heard, and I've been listening to NPR for like 12 years.

If you're ambitious that's great. But if you're ambitious about too many things, then it looks like you don't know what you want.

Edna Krabappel: Our demands are very reasonable.  By ignoring them, you're selling out these children's future!

Principal Skinner: Oh, come on, Edna: we both know these children HAVE no future!

*School kids stop and stare*

Principal Skinner: Heh . . heh . . . Prove me wrong, kids.  Prove me wrong.
