An airplane was about to crash....
An airplane was about to crash; there were 5 passengers on board, but only 4 parachutes.
The 1st passenger said, "I am Kobe Bryant, the best NBA basketball player; the Lakers need me, I can't afford to die." So he took the 1st pack and left the plane.
The 2nd passenger, Hillary Clinton said, "I am the wife of the former U.S. President, a NY State Senator and a potential future president. And I am the smartest woman in American history, so America's people don't want me to die", and she took the 2nd pack and jumped out of the plane.
The 3rd passenger, George W. Bush, said, "I'm the president of the United States of America. I have great responsibility being the leader of a superpower nation." So he grabbed the pack next to him and jumped.
The 4th passenger, the Pope, said to the 5th passenger, a 10 year old schoolgirl, "I am old and frail and don't have many years left, and as a Catholic, I will sacrifice my life and let you have the last parachute."
The girl said, "That's okay. There's a parachute left for you. America's
smartest woman took my schoolbag."

And the countdown begins ...
We, employees at ILCC got the word over the weekend that the restaurant has been sold. Tentative last day is October 12. For one, I hated that place. What kept me there for almost 4 years was the my regulars and most of my fellow co-workers ... and the cash every night was good too. Anyway, the man who told us about the sale is hated by everyone. Of the two years he was there with us, this was the only decent thing he did. You see, the owners wanted to give us a one day notice but our GM did the right thing. He's also going to help those who want, a replacement for employment elsewhere. Another option, which is more for the back of the house employees, is the chance to transfer to their other two locations on the other side of the island. They also won a bid to open a store in the New Navy Exchange that is set to open in November. Who is taking over you ask? We found out that Ruby Tuesday bought the place within the month it was posted. Are they going to keep the employees? We won't know until next week ... hopefully. They would be crazy not too. They have a deadline. They are supposed to open 2 RT's by a certain date and so far they only have one location in the works. The original gossip was that they needed to open our store by Thanksgiving. Now we hear they won't be able to open until the beginning of the new year with all the renovations they want to do. You'll know what's going on when I hear it from the horse's mouth.
I've started getting some pre-holiday orders for my catering as well as my massage business ... hopefully that will keep me busy until RT opens, and that's assuming that they keep us on ... got my fingers crossed!
