Today I\u2019m trying to get my articles up early to free myself for religious obligations with the Church of the Ellipsoid Orb.  Sadly there will be no TV coverage of the Denver congregation here, so I will not get to see their new high priest, Tim Tebow, live.  I caught up on comments earlier.<\/font><\/p>\n

Today it took me 3:28 (average 4:27).  To do it, click here<\/a>.  How sis you do?<\/font><\/p>\n

Short Take<\/strong>:<\/font><\/p>\n

From ksvoboda.com<\/a>: <\/font>This payroll solution may be coming to a business near you some day soon!  The other day my son told me about a friend of his.  She is a few credits shy of her degree.  I guess she\u2019s had trouble getting the foreign language credit completed.  She still has to pay her bills and found a job at Wendy\u2019s near Tinley Park in Illinois.  When she received her first pay check, well it wasn\u2019t a check.  She had to sign a paper in order to be hired that would allow them to pay her with an ADP total pay card.  Now you\u2019re probably wondering what in the hell that could be, as I was.  It\u2019s a credit card.  The company pays her by loading up a credit card.  You know a card that costs money to get cash from.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s pretty slimy, because you know that the business is getting a kickback, effectively lowering the student\u2019s pay.  Katie has done a thorough job with this and I encourage you to click through and check it out.<\/font><\/p>\n
