If I could be a character from The Wizard of Oz, I think I'd either be the Wizard or the Gatekeeper of the Emerald City. Which character would you be?
I've really always wanted to be a doorman, anyway. I like the uniform and the idea of getting big tips just for saying hello all day. The USA Today recommends giving your doorman $100.oo cash for Christmas. They recommend giving your child's teacher a $10.oo gift from Target. Should I apply at the Ritz Carlton or the Astor?

DID YOU MAKE THE LIST?
The radio announcer today was jawing about how safe his job is, compared to really dangerous jobs. He gave the example of police officers and fire fighters. I was curious, so I looked at what CNN & the Bereau of Labor Statistics listed as the most dangerous jobs in America. The number one was Timber Cutters - with a mortality rate 26 times the normal worker. Timber cutter, huh? That's my buddy Derek's job! A lot of the other jobs on the list are held by guys I know. I wonder if they know the statistical risks of what they are doing...or if they'd care. How dangerous is your job? If you found out it made the list, would it make you think twice of keeping it?
