Las luces fluorescentes de zumbido, la gerencia idiota, el hecho de que necesitas despertar doloroso temprano - el único alto punto son que viene viernes cada semana. Dije tan a me, allí me consigo ser una manera mejor. ¡Una cierta manera de hacer el dinero que me deja fijar mis propias horas y hacer una cantidad cómoda del dinero!

Example Elmer Jacinto's contract petitioner is New Franklin Rehabilitation and Care Center but he was made to work in Avalon Gardens Rehabilitation Center, a different entity. This is aside from the fact that they were extremely overworked (1 nurse to 58 patients and underpaid ($12/hour rather than the promised $25-30). Cat,

I'm quite disappointed at Cat not answering questions..., but this is the internet and nobody can ask/force anybody to do anything they don't want to do. How about courtesy? How about saying, "I don't know"? Thanks Vic. I’m quite disappointed at Cat not answering questions…, but this is the internet and nobody can ask/force anybody to do anything they don’t want to do.

Our Local political scene here are partyless (not allowed to do the “party”) like city council and municipal council and they all work just as well as our party system of governance in the Provincial and Federal level. So I’ll say it’s the not Party or the Absense of it. It’s the People ‘St-p-d’. I too prefer the one with lot of booz and some grass since it is somewhat “legal” in this part of the world. vic said this on September 6th, 2006 at 8:22 am ============================================================= I agree, its really the people.... I have a negative feeling about this particular trend in our country with this so many abolition moves and changes. Are we really that dynamic? or we just have limited patientce to make anything work ? They both work just as well.

"devolving the lower house" and "streamling the legislative system" are clearer, more concrete proposals for reforming the legislature. "abolish" evokes antagonism, needlessly. A couple of years back, I just happened to 'see clearly' the growing irrelevance of a bloated house of representatives in a devolved system of government. I think the congressmen saw what was developing, they realize their increasing irrelevance if political reforms -- devolution and streamlining -- are allowed to run its due course. It is terribly ironic that the branch due for pruning takes the axe to cut the trunk instead and graft onto the decaying branch a new trunk! Understandable, the dinasours are fighting extinction. Pruning was not done in time. Now, the wayward branch has grown wild. Which must awaken the people, Citizens, to the seasonality of change -- the season for an honest-to-goodness revolution. Can Vision rally the people in lieu of a visionary-revolutionary leader? Can a vision inspire, a roadmap move, a blue-print motivate and a viable political agenda galvanize the people? mlq3,
