I couldn’t believe my eyes and ears the other week when I saw a commercial for Taco Bell announcing their newest creation, the Shrimp Taco. I’m sorry but that just sounds wrong. I love shrimp, it is one of my favorite foods that I get to enjoy as much as I possibly can. I also enjoy trying new foods, but I can honestly say that these new taco product will not be one that I will be trying no matter what.

It doesn’t even look appetizing.

Most of us are not seeing any improvement, what-so-ever in the economic crisis that has so many of us in a world of trouble in so many ways. Most of the hiring freezes are still holding strong, making it extremely difficult for folks to find gainful employment in the fields that they have become accustomed to, went to school for and enjoyed for most of our lives. People are turning to furthering their education, spending what little money that they have to pay for this education that we have been told is necessary to get the jobs that we’ve been told are available for those that are qualified for. Only to find that all that time and money was wasted because they still can’t find employment for what they just went back to school for. I would be plenty ticked off if that were to happen to me, I can tell you that.

There are positions available, I’ve been told, in many of the nonprofit jobs. I remember when I thought that non profit jobs meant that you worked and you didn’t make a profit from it, only the company! It sounds silly, I know, but it’s true just the same. I just didn’t understand why they labeled these nonprofit career opportunities the way that they did.
