Friday Leftovers........
Jobs
According to a study by the British website Jobs2View.com, almost 33% of people have quit a job because they couldn't stand their co-workers. The other 77% stayed because the 33% of co-workers they hated resigned.

Democrats
As part of their political campaign Democratic Candidates are planning TV appearances in the upcoming months: Barack Obama will appear in The Tyra Banks Show, Hillary Clinton will do the Ellen DeGeneres Show and Denis Kucinich will show up in the show Cheaters chasing his wife.

Businessman
Henry Hager, recently engaged to Jenna Bush, will be returning to school this fall to complete his master's degree in business administration at the University of Virginia. Professors told him not to worry because he is already guaranteed a degree as he has proved he is a genius businessman when he decided to marry Jenna.

Baseball
In Chicago this week, blind athletes played a game of baseball guided only by sound. They could anticipate the person at the bat was going to hit a home-run every time they would hear the “swish” of the syringe.

Stocks
Cosmetics maker Estee Lauder Cos. Inc. reported lower-than-expected quarterly profit on Thursday sending its shares down 8 percent. The mascara running on the owner’s faces while they were crying didn’t help the company either.
