"No Dad."  "Now be honest..."  "Fine, sure thing...I'm awaaaaake now."  Anywho, since when did it become kosher to wake someone up at 8:37 am to talk about mutual funds?  The downward-spiraling Nasdaq must surely be behind this madness...&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3662059-79476187?l=pureground.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3662059/posts/default/79476187'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3662059/posts/default/79476187'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://pureground.blogspot.com/2002_07_21_archive.html#79476187' title=''/><author><name>Mary </name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/04493136782073714265</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3662059.post-79413653</id><published>2002-07-25T19:40:00.000-04:00</published><updated>2002-07-25T19:40:44.353-04:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>So, I've figured out that the only job for which I'm truly qualified, education and otherwise, is a park ranger.
