Dear Mr. Bush
In my continuing quest to never be hired ever again by any sane company, I
give you the following letter to George W. Bush that I received from a
mailing list:
> Mr. George W. Bush
> The White House
> 1600 Pennsylvania Ave.
> Washington, DC 20500
>
> Dear Mr. Bush,
>
> I heard you're taking a one-month vacation. Boy, that must really be nice.
>
> Are there any public service jobs besides President where I could take an
> extended vacation after only six months of work?
>
> Like most Americans, I only get two weeks off. And that's after I've been
> working for a full year. I figure the American people must be really nice
> bosses if they let you take so much free time to pursue your real
> interests, like jogging and video golf. I'd like to work for such nice
> employers too. Perhaps you could put in a good word for me with the Supreme
> Court? They seem to be giving away all the best jobs these days!
>
> Enjoy your vacation, and don't let any pesky policy matters like health
> care reform, the environment or the economy get in the way of your leisure
> time.
>
> Best to Mrs. Bush and those spunky twins!
>
> Sincerely,
>
> [YOUR NAME HERE!]
>
> PS: I heard you've also spent 14 weekends relaxing at Camp David, and took
> a long weekend at your family's estate in Kennebunkport—all in addition to
> the full month you've already spent at your ranch since becoming President.
> I don't blame you though. Those White House phones must never stop ringing!
> Maybe Mr. Cheney will pick up your messages for a while …
>
Yes, where do I get such a job?
But seriously, I expect this to be fairly common among CEOs (Chief Executive
Officer) because, well … they own the company (or rather, are paid insanely
amounts of money to run the company) and all those trips out to the golf
course are you know, business meetings.
Like how the World Bank meetings take place in expensive and exotic locations
around the world …
