Friday News
Such variety this week in the news category. As I was looking through the varied sources to find my “weird” news for the week, I came across another couple of surveys. I am astonished by the number of polls and surveys taken in January. Perhaps, this is National Survey Month…I need to check on that.
- This past week the Public Policy Polling people did a survey to determine the popularity of the U.S. Congress. According to them Congress has a whopping 9% approval rating. Fifty-seven percent of the respondents said they think more favorably of root canals than Congress. Fifty-eight percent said they would favor colonoscopies over Congress.
- A survey conducted by CareerCast released a list of what they believe to be the 10 most stressful jobs. (does anyone, other than me find it odd that police officers came in 10th?)
10.Police officer
9. Taxi driver
8. Newspaper reporter
7.Photojournalist
6. Senior corporate executive
5. PR executive
4. Commercial airline pilot
3. Firefighter
2. Military general
1. Enlisted military personnel

see, hear and think about while I still have all my faculties working.
