Some Detroit Scenery

I went to take a pee test for a job today.

I must say these folks were way better than the ones at Quest. When I went to Quest I was made to feel like a criminal by their staff, I when I say staff I mean the people who handle urine for a living. Imagine being talked down like I already have giving a positive sample by the people who "handle urine" for a living.

Anyhow the folks at this place I went today were so much better, just nice. Have some common courtesy is all I ask, I don't want to be peeing in a cup, you don't want to be handling pee in a cup, let's just all at least smile and make it pleasant.

After all we are pleasing both the corporation and the insurance industry involved, neither of which will be at our next birthday or funeral.

A whole cottage industry set up to handle urine based on the assumption everyone who makes under 100k a year must be a drug addict.

At any rate, I took my camera with me, here is some of the scenery in my neighborhood.


Welcome to Detroit.

Maybe It's The Recipe?

Ok, updated my resume.

I have had so few bites on my resume I figured I would A) open it up to the rest of the country because I am ready to leave Michigan. and B) Maybe it will garner some new searches on Monster, etc.

Yes, you heard right, the state I love, the state I have lived in my whole life, the best outdoor state in the country for beauty and I will be leaving Michigan if the opportunity presents itself.

I am not alone, recent polls have shown that 63% of those graduating from Michigan State and University of Michigan will be leaving Michigan immediately after graduation to either accept a position or look for a position.

There is such an intellectual brain drain from our local economy, we have nothing left but the 37% too stupid to find employment elsewhere or too stupid to leave.

I will add more, I am trying not to be so negative but it gets to you.
