Comment on: Blog Post 'WHAT, Pray Tell Were You Thinking?': 35 in recruiting. I have seen bad economies, booms, and long periods of business as usual. Never have I seen a period of time where people have done the weird shit across the board they are doing now. Here is an off topic example. A week ago I was driving down the freeway, I ran over something that split a tire, put a dent in my right front door panel and a piece of it flew up and hit my windshield so hard it cracked the windshield. Never saw anything but must have been metal of some sort to do the damage it did and blow a new tire to the point that it was flat by the time I could get off th freeway. I file an insurance claim get a call fron the customer service claims person. It goes like this. Claims rep: "what happened? Me: I go through the bove drill. Claims rep: we're you hurt? Me: no, just the car, Claims: any dizziness or headache? Me: the tire may have been dizzy and the windshield could have a headache but not me. Claims: what did you run over? Me: I don't know it must have been something heavy and sharp to do the damage it did, but I didn't see it or I would have avoided it. Claims: we're you in a rural area? Me: Amarillo, Texas is pretty rural but as I told you, I was on the freeway, that would be I40 inside the city limits. Claims: did you suffer any bruises or neck or back injuries? Me: no lady, as I have told you three times or four. I ran over something. I was inside the car, not hanging out the window looking for stuff on the freeway. Claims: could it have been those metal vehicle stops used by police? Me: no dear, I was not evading arrest, I was in the middle lane on a Sunday afternoon, on my way to the mall. Claims : could it have been those things on the side of the highway? Me: no, not unless they have stared putting "drunk bumps" in the middle lane inside the city limits. Claims: we're you drunk or drinking? Me: no, the last time I went shopping drunk was last Christmas. I bought a horse so I never shop drunk anymore. Claims: could you have run over n animal? Me: lady I think I would have noticed an animal on I40 in the middle lane on Sunday afternoon inside the city limits. I also can not imagine any animal that could cut a truck tire, put a dent the size of softball in the door and a piece of it hit the windshield hard enough to chip the corner and cause a crack to go half way across. If there is such an animal one would think I might have seen, fur, feathers or fins flying after impact. Claims: how much damage is on the front bumper? Me: none, I ran over something, I didn't hit anything. Claims: do you need a rent car. Me: no I still have the horse I bought last Christmas. Claims: so the horse was not hurt? Me: no but thank you for asking? Claims: is there anything else we can do for you? Me: No, just tell me where the appraiser is located? Claims: oh sure, has the horse been taken to the vet? Me: lady, the horse is fine, I'm fine, the truck is not fine. Claims: what is the make and model of the vehicle? Me: Cadillac EXT, 2008. Claims: is that an SUV? Me: no, it's an EXT. Claims , is that an SUV? Me: no, it looks like a chèvre avalanche. Claims: I thought you said it was a Cadillac. Me: Click, dial my agent, " hey Matt where do you get these weird people who work in your claims center. It is everywhere, somebody tell me is it.

Topic: With unemployment at 7 year high, where do we turn now?: g anyone to share their secrets, I'd be interested to know if you're taking one of these paths: A) tightening your personal budget to weather the storm for the next 6 months to a year, B) marketing more aggressively to capture more market share while many competitor's may be cutting their marketing, C) Finding new revenue streams, or D) choosing not to participate in the recession, and moving forward with business as usual? Or some combination of these? Or another path? In cased you haven't heard yet... from the AP this morning: By CHRISTOPHER S. RUGABER, AP Economics Writer Christopher S. Rugaber, Ap Economics Writer – 5 mins ago WASHINGTON – The number of newly laid-off individuals seeking unemployment benefits has jumped to a level not seen since just after the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks. The Labor Department on Thursday reported that jobless claims last week increased by 32,000 to a seasonally adjusted 516,000. That nearly matched the 517,000 claims reported seven years ago, and is the second-highest total since 1992. The total also was much higher than analysts expected. Wall Street economists surveyed by Thomson Reuters expected claims to increase only slightly to 484,000. Initial claims from two weeks ago were revised upward Thursday by 3,000 to 484,000. The increase puts jobless claims at levels similar to the recession of the early 1990s. The four-week average of claims, which smooths out fluctuations, increased to 491,000, the highest in more than 17 years. Thursday's figure is the first time claims have topped 500,000 during the current economic slowdown. Jobless claims above 400,000 are considered a sign of recession. A year ago, claims stood at 338,000. The number of individuals continuing to seek unemployment benefits rose to 3.9 million, above analysts' estimates of 3.85 million. That's the highest total since January 1983, though the labor market has grown by about half since then. The continuing claims tally is for the week ending Nov. 1, one week behind the initial claims report. Recipients stop receiving benefits when they find another job or their benefits run out. The increase in continuing claims indicates that laid-off workers are taking longer to find a new job. Thursday's report could affect the political debate in Congress over whether to enact another economic stimulus package and what it should include. Democrats want to add an extension of unemployment benefits, which last 26 weeks. Initial claims have been driven higher in the past several months by a slowing economy hit by the financial crisis, and cutbacks in consumer and business spending. Claims also rose in late September due to the impact of Hurricanes Ike and Gustav, but the department said last week that the impact of the hurricanes has passed. The rise in claims has been mirrored by an increase in the unemployment rate. Unemployment reached a 14-year high of 6.5 percent in October, the Labor Department said last week, as the ranks of the unemployed swelled to 10.1 million. Several companies recently have announced mass layoffs, including Morgan Stanley, General Motors Corp., Ford Motor Co., and Fidelity Investments.…; Added by Jason C.
