Advantages of Being Fat

Posted: 09 Apr 2010 12:44 AM PDT

In today’s society, fat people are often looked down upon. Society tells us fat is disgusting. However, there are definite advantages to being fat. Here are some reasons why being fat isn’t always a bad thing:

Don’t Get Cold
In the winter, fat people don’t have to worry about always lugging around a coat. Instead, their body is naturally insulated.

Survive Sicknesses
Studies have proven that skinny people are more likely to die from some illnesses. Think about it, if you get sick and are unable to eat, a fat person can just live off of their built-in reserves.

Considered Disabled
Weighing over a certain amount is enough to be considered disabled. Who wouldn’t want better parking?

Built in Shelf
If you are trying to carry multiple items at the same time, having a natural shelf around your midsection comes in handy.

Easier to Find
Ever get separated from your friends or family at a crowded event? Being fat would have made it easier for you to be found.

More Difficult to Kidnap
When a criminal is looking for a victim, a skinny and easy-to-kidnap victim looks more appetizing.

Better Judge of People
If you are skinny and good looking, you don’t know if someone is being nice because they are nice or because they are attracted to you. Fat people know who is genuinely nice and who isn’t.

Survive Accidents
Crash test reports show that fat people are more likely to survive a car accident than skinny people. Think of fat as an allover airbag.

Drink More Beer
Legally, being drunk is determined by your blood-alcohol level. It’s a proven fact that fat people can drink more beer before reaching the legal blood-alcohol limits.

Surprisingly Strong
Don’t mess with fat people. Skinny people may lift weights at the gym but fat people lift weights all day, every day.

Don’t Need to Count Calories
To stay skinny, you need to worry about what you eat. Fat people can eat what tastes good.

Tiger Woods Dominates, Ignores Bootyism

Posted: 09 Apr 2010 12:00 AM PDT

Even though Tiger Woods was friendly with the fans, he was still the same ol’ Tiger Woods when it came to dominating on the golf course. In his first action since his sex scandal, Tiger Woods shot a 68 in Augusta at the Masters. He trails Fred Couples by only two shots and appears to be in fantastic position to return with a bang.

The fans on the golf course were almost all very encouraging. The only controversy were a pair of signs that flew overhead. An airplane had a sign that said "TIGER: DID YOU MEAN BOOTYISM?" and then "SEX ADDICT? YEAH. RIGHT. SURE. ME TOO!”

In typical Tiger Woods fashion, he wasn’t totally pleased with his play — even though it surpassed the expectations of most experts.

“For the most part, I think I hit the ball well all day,” said Tiger. “And I just didn’t make a lot of putts. If I putted well today, it could have been a really special round.”

When asked, Tiger Woods said he didn’t see the Bootyism sign or the Sex Addict sign. But he was happy with the reaction of the crowd.

Said Tiger: “The people were just incredible … incredible all day.”

Can Tiger Woods continue his stellar play? Tune in on Friday for the second round of the Masters at Augusta.

Jim Carrey & Jenny McCarthy Tweet About Breakup

Posted: 08 Apr 2010 10:17 PM PDT

Jim Carrey and Jenny McCarthy ended their five-year relationship — and then tweeted about it. Apparently the breakup is amicable. Carey wrote on Twitter, "Jenny and I have just ended our 5yr relationship. I'm grateful for the many blessings we've shared and I wish her the very best. S'okay! Be of good cheer folks! It's a beautiful world, and we're all gonna get what we need the most!"

And McCarthy tweeted, "I'm so grateful for the years Jim and I had together. I will stay committed to Jane (Carrey’s 22-year-old daughter) and will always keep Jim as a leading man in my heart."

Some speculate that it was Carrey’s depression that led to their breakup. “Jim has suffered from depression, and that might have taken a toll on the relationship,” People magazine senior editor David Caplan said.

Negotiating Salary

Posted: 08 Apr 2010 09:37 PM PDT

Once you have been offered a job, you might find out that the salary isn’t exactly as much as you had expected. If you research, prepare and plead a good case, you can try to negotiate a better salary with the potential employer.

Research to see if company’s offer is competitive. By using the Bureau of Labor Statistics and professional associations in your field, you can find out if the salary being offered is within industry standards.

If you are relocating for the job, consider the cost of living in the new locale. You can use the ACCRA Cost of Living Index to find out how much your salary is worth in a specific city.

Prepare yourself to explain to the employer why you are worth a higher salary. Be specific about what you will do to increase the productivity and bottomline of the company. Submit a counter offer and shoot a little higher than you are willing to settle for. That way, you will have some room for negotiations.

If the company isn’t willing to budge on the base salary, try to work out a deal for stock options, extra vacation time, performance bonuses or other perks. After all, the job market is tough right now.

If all else fails and you really want the job, accept it under the condition that you can re-negotiate salary again in 90 days. However, don’t accept if the salary is so low that you will quickly become disgruntled. There are plenty of other jobs out there.
