Admit It You've Done It


You are guilty. No Doubt we all are. But, it is still funny when AOL recently complied a list of the 10 things to never say at work. In true Casey Kasem style we're counting them down, and I'm adding my own thoughts.


10. Urgent or Crisis: My take: unless you work with nuclear weapons when is the last time you truly faced a crisis?


9. Past history: Can you have history that isn't in the past?


8. Quite unique: It either is unique or not. Usually not.


7. I, personally: No You, personally. OK done with the redundant section.


6. Drill down: Are you in the Gulf of Mexico looking for oil.


5. The ball's in your court: This one just makes you sound stupid. No way around it.


4. It's not rocket science: Well, that makes everything easier


3. Sweat equity: Not even sure what this was ever supposed to mean, but it has been so abused it is laughable.


2. Throw it against the wall and see what sticks: The only thing that really sticks usually leaves a stain.


1. Pick your brain: Picking anything at work.. generally a bad idea.

Look younger, find a job

The recession is not depressing for everyone. Plastic surgeons are capitalizing on wrinkles and helping older people find work.

In some cases, employers get hundreds of applications for one job. So they have a lot of choices. Older people are now competing with perky young people for the same jobs. So, to even the playing field, older workers are getting some work done to make them look and feel younger.

Can I get plastic surgery to be taller?

**Note... to my knowledge this man has not had any plastic surgery.
