As soon as you start any kind of job, you should always be prepared to be eventually kicked to the curb and fired especially in this rotten economy where people are losing their jobs left right and center. I’m not talking about mass layoff firings where everyone in a department is fired but mass individual firings where only certain people or positions are canned based on you doing something that totally pissed off your supervisor or his supervisor, deserved or not. The Best Offense is a Good Defense. Or more specifically a Good Lawyer. Someone messes with you, you need to mess with them by exercising your legal rights. You need to have access to a good lawyer who you can afford that will make so much trouble for the company and individuals responsible for you being fired that they will back off, reconsider or sweeten the deal to get rid of you.

I just read about a new project about Female Werewolves that the Fox Network has given a script commitment to that sounds awesome.

I’m not saying this will work but have you ever heard of a person suddenly dying or being killed doing normal activities with a copy of their birth certificate on them? I sure haven’t. I’m convinced without any scientific basis that carrying your birth certificate with you may act as a talisman to protect you from sudden death or being killed by accident or being killed in a place you shouldn’t be, accidentally.
