The news today was a bit kookier than normal. Definitely some important issues in this batch of today’s big items, but some were a little strange. Let’s get to it.
- This is definitely a regional issue, but I suspect it’s something we’ll be seeing in various states. So students, pay attention to deadlines.
130,000 Illinois college students denied financial aid - And I thought a co-workers garlic breath would be the most severe aroma-related offense.
Well, then. “34 hospitalized after co-worker sprays perfume” - Talk about a bittersweet day. Well, really, just a bad day. But at least he had a job to call in the morning.
Lightning fire zaps Richardson man’s return to work after 6-month layoff - Hugging trees and saving lives will be our way to prosperity! No, seriously.
Healthcare, green tech brighten dim U.S. jobs picture
About Anthony Balderrama
Anthony Balderrama writes about hiring trends, workplace issues and job search tactics for CareerBuilder.com and its blog The Work Buzz. He was born and raised in Dallas (115° degrees isn’t hot!) before moving to Chicago (-23° isn’t cold!). He studied creative writing, therefore everything he writes is usually cut in half once he realizes he spent 400 words just on the intro. He knows that looking for a job and dealing with co-workers are not always fun activities, and reading about them is even less thrilling. That’s why he’ll take any opportunity he can to mention his favorite TV show or band in an article. Basically Anthony’s doing whatever he can to avoid hate mail.Trackbacks
