I have depth perception problems that make it inadvisable for me to drive at all.

Funny how people are refusing jobs when they are so desperate, you take what you can get people. For whatever reason I doubt that during the holocaust the jews and other prisoners were saying "this bread is stale and the soup has no flavor." Wow I just love how this works people: "WE NEED JOBS" article: "WE HAVE JOBS" people: "WE WANT BETTER JOBS!!"
