While the stock market is down, I can tell you a sure fire investment....what ever company makes straight jackets. 'cuz after this next week at work they are going to come after me. My boss has me working 7, yes 7 days in a row. I know there are people who do this on a regular basis, but not me. I have no desire to. I decided to get this job, so I wouldn't be bored and depressed sitting on my hands at home.
I went from a part time employee to full time fairly quickly less than 6 months. In the retail world that is saying something because if there is one thing they like less than, say, shoplifters, it's giving benefits to their employees.
Anyway, as I was saying, invest in the straight jacket industry. I usually do pretty well until about day 4, and then, I am ready to tie up the next person who tries to convince me that the sales ad was deliberately written in such a way as to convince someone to come in and spend their life savings on soup. And not just any soup, but soup they don't like because the soup they like was excluded from the ad. Let me just save you the trouble of speculating. YES, it IS a conspiracy! If you buy up all the yucky soup, we know you will be back to buy more soup next week because the "powers that be" bugged your home, and purposely only put the soup you hate on sale, and because you can't say no to a good deal they have you right where they want you. Spending money on soup you don't like this week, and coming back next week for what you really wanted in the first place.---See, straight jackets I tell you, straight jackets.
