I pity the company that hires you

Would Walt Disney ever have named the dog Pluto if he had known that it wasn't really a planet?
That's just one of the questions that have arised ever since Pluto was downgraded to status of dwarf planet in 2006.

For 76 years, Pluto thought that it was a planet similar to Earth, Mars, Uranus and the other five planets but a ruling by the International Astronomical Union (IAU) downgraded it to a mere dwarf planet status.

What does this mean? Well, in a nutshell, Pluto no longer receives the same benefits and perks that other ligitimate planets receive. Some quaters have not taken well to this new ruling calling it an outrage and discrimination towards Pluto.



That was back in 2006, now it's 2009 and nothing much seems to have changed even after the massive protests and online pettitions. The only good thing to come out of this affair is the term 'plutoed' as in you've just got plutoed! It is a term used when downgrading someone to a lower level/status.

Managers have been heard using this term frequently due to the current economical crisis when demoting and even firing employees. It is even rumoured that Donold Trump would change his iconic 'You're fired' catchphrase to 'You've been plutoed' to keep up with the times and keep his reality show more current with the younger generation.
If only he would keep his hairstyle more current (low blow, I know, just couldn't resist).

Speaking of the Donald, who in their right frame of mind would want to get a job? As in the Terminator Salvation movie poster...'The End Begins'. Working is just the beginning of the end. The end of having a life. No more late nights, no more getiing up in the afernoon, no more football no more everything. It's just wake up early and go to work for the rest of your misreable life untill finally you keel over and die.


Having said that, the end begins on Monday for me. Like a wise freind of mine said. "Your lucky to get a job, the job's not lucky to get you".
