Sad, but true. I make practically nothing.

I never understand Greg's jokes -but I do like Borek's punchlines

I'm sure other computer programmers find it funnier to read the original versions posted by Greg. The rest of us must rely on Borek's painstaking and meticulous translations, imperfect as they may be.

I once saw a guy wearing a sweat shirt that said on it "University of Florida Graduate Assistant - It's not just a job, it's an indenture"!

(I, many years ago, was a University of Florida graduate assistant.)

Wow, I kid you not this email was sent out. We have to cut back almost $14million USD.

Teachers have to take x days of no pay leave, maximum of 5.

Lots will be on furlough as well. Quite bad times for all.
