new job title for teachers and housewives


I just found myself laughing at these new job titles in place of the common sounding job names. How do you find this job title VISION CLEARANCE ENGINEER for a window cleaner? A housewife will now be referred to as DOMESTIC ENGINEER or HOME EXECUTIVE. And teachers, here is your new job title---KNOWLEDGE NAVIGATOR. Your garbage collector is now a SANITARY or ENVIRONMENTAL SANITATION ENGINEER. As I work full-time as knowledge navigator and parttime as domestic engineer, I have secret visions of myself wearing that famous engineer's hat while I sweep the floor. This is just my silly reaction to that list of silly job titles provided by a user at a paid forum.

CNN reports 15-yr.-old girl kills own mom

There is something terribly wrong with the world today. A horrible news happened in Colorado USA to a 52-year-old woman who was murdered by her own 15-year-old daughter Tess Damm who was assisted by her live-in boyfriend Bryan Grove, 17. The victim, Linda Damm, was first stranggled by her daughter's boyfriend before she was stabbed to death and left for almost a month in the trunk of a car. Tess, her boyfriend and another friend twice tried to bury the body but failed because they thought the grave they dug was just too shallow, so they hurled the body back into the trunk. In the meantime, while the dead body was left to decompose in the car's trunk, the three teens partied and used Linda's debit card to do what kids their age want to do. A neighbor of the Damms told the police that Tess and Bryon hated Linda who was an alcoholic and had recently lost her job. The neighbor further said that the family had a very difficult life. The three teens were arrested and jailed without bail and they will be tried for murder, conspiracy, etc. as adults. For more details of the story, read it by using the link

Queen eats cornflakes for breakfast


You heard it right. The Queen of England is not eating lamb chops nor steak but cornflakes for breakfast out of a Tupperware! And we thought cornflakes is only for kids who had to rush to school everyday, so the easy-to-prepare breakfast. But a Queen, not wanting of the best chef of England, prefers cornflakes more than anything. This goes contrary to the belief and practice of most poor countries which put heavy emphasis on one's food intake at breakfast. It is believed that it is always good to start the day with a heavy meal in order for a person to tackle his work with much efficiency and vigor. However, a person of such high stature as the Queen of England can always survive with a light breakfast unlike an ordinary laborer who needs to work with a full stomach to tackle the day's work.

Britney Spears is bald!

Celebrity Britney Spears just recently barged into an unknown beauty salon and demanded to have her hair shaved. When the beautician did not want to do it, Britney did the shaving herself and when she looked in the mirror gasped and said something like her mother will not be happy about it. People working with the star had noticed that Britney had been acting weirdly these past few days. She had been whining and complaining a lot and had given way to her emotional outbursts in many instances.
