April Fools' Day is here and there's no better place for wisecracks and shenanigans than at work. In its annual April Fools' Day survey, CareerBuilder.com found 33 percent of workers have played a practical joke on a co-worker and 17 percent are planning office tricks for this year's holiday. Although it might be thrilling to finally one-up the office funnyman, pranks also help beat something that's no laughing matter: workplace stress. More than half of workers reported working under stress in another CareerBuilder.com survey. Stress and worry on the job...

Rumsfeld gestures while speaking Friday Feb. 17, 2006 at the Council on Foreign Relations in New York. Al-Qaida and other Islamic extremist groups have poisoned the Muslim public's view of the United States through deft use of the Internet and other modern communications methods that the American government has failed to master, Rumsfeld said Friday.

The superior treatment for fee-paying NHS patients has been criticised as creating a two-tier health service and privatisation by stealth. This week an NHS trust in Yorkshire will become the latest to offer the service, with a new dermatology clinic performing operations that were once free of charge on patients who are prepared to pay. The operations will be carried out in an NHS hospital by NHS doctors and nurses during NHS time. The growth in add-on...

For years I have been tying to post an article during normal freeping hours that nobody would comment on for over an hour. It is quite a challenge really. FR has a wide range of interests, and if an article is too weird, then people will comment on its weirdness. Anyway, every few weeks I have been trying to find an article just so totally boring that there would be no reason for anyone to comment on it, and at the same time not be too weird as to merit a comment based on its weirdness.

"It's like a food for us," he explained. "I drank my first beer when I was 10. It was during the second world war." What did he think of British beer? "I've tried it.

These demoncrap crybabies are thorowing shyt on the wall until something sticks and forget who was president for 8 years before Bush. I would like to see Clinton's speeches scrutinized the way they are doing Bush's.

Thus, we can conclude that arrivals were being absorbed into the workforce, and adding to the nation's economic growth. A further conclusion is that as long as the economy is robust, there is a need for additional workers outside of those available in the country. And it is, as now, when the economy is down that such outside workers become a surplus and thus unwanted. In recognition of the above, what is needed is... elpasotimes.com http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/933150/posts#comment Sat, 21 Jun 2003 14:37:44 GMT http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/828812/posts From the Boycott Block Committee BoycottBlock@earthlink.net http://KeepAndBearArms.com/BoycottBlock/ I just saw my first TV ads for H&R Block this weekend. It's their ramp-up season. And now the time is ripe for a little delayed justice. You may recall last year when H&R Block initiated an "affiliate program" offering to make a donation to the NRA for every NRA member who came in to have his taxes prepared. It's a standard arrangement they offer to any interested membership association. H&R Block was immediately attacked and threatened by the gun-ban lobby with a March 16th picket. In a craven surrender, Block reneged on... http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/828812/posts#comment Fri, 24 Jan 2003 16:28:13 GMT http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-chat/748777/posts Since I am approaching my one year anniversary of being a "freeper" and since I have never contributed a dime to FR, jim or the republican party, I am going to beat the powers to be at FR and voluntarily leave, rather than have them come up with one of the cock and bull stories to ban me.
