just when m0ng0 think job sucks m0ng0 read things like this and m0ng0 likes job again ;D money.cnn.com/2004/09/14/news/international/china_banks.reut/index.htm?cnn=yesChina executes bank staff for fraud Part of Beijing's intense crackdown on white-collar crime ahead of IPOs, state-owned agency says. September 14, 2004: 12:58 PM EDT BEIJING (Reuters) - China executed four people, including employees of two of its Big Four state-owned banks, for fraud totaling $15 million, the state Xinhua news agency said Tuesday. The executions occurred in the midst a high-profile government campaign against financial crime. They followed a string of arrests in white-collar crime as China prepares to sell shares publicly in its big banks. The latest cases involved China Construction Bank, due to raise up to $10 billion in an IPO next year; and Bank of China, which is moving towards an IPO worth up to $4 billion. One of those executed was Wang Liming, a former accounting officer at China Construction Bank in the central province of Henan, who worked with others to steal 20 million yuan ($2.4 million) from the bank using fraudulent papers, Xinhua said in a report on its Web site: (www.xinhuanet.com). An accomplice, Miao Ping, was also executed. Another Construction Bank employee, Wang Xiang, was executed for taking 20 million yuan from the bank in an unrelated case. Liang Shihan, an official at the Bank of China's branch in the southern city of Zhuhai, was executed for helping cheat his bank out of $10.3 million, Xinhua said. Xinhua did not say how the four were killed. China, which executes more criminals than the rest of the world combined, usually puts inmates to death with a gunshot to the back of the head but has recently experimented with lethal injections. The debt-laden state-owned banks have been involved in other fraud scandals as Beijing tries to clean them up ahead of 2007, when the sector begins to privatize and opens fully to foreign rivals as part of pledges made to the World Trade Organization. In February, China arrested Liu Jinbao, former chief of the Bank of China's Hong Kong branch, for corruption. Last December, Wang Xuebing, former head of the Construction Bank, was sentenced to 12 years in prison for taking bribes. The government injected a combined $45 billion into the Construction Bank and Bank of China last year as part of a pilot scheme to reform the sector and prepare for the IPOs. The precise number of people executed for all crimes in China is a state secret. Reports range from 5,000 to 10,000 a year, many for murder, but they have also been killed for corruption and crimes as minor as bottom-pinching. Legal experts have proposed what they call a "kill fewer, kill carefully" policy for nonviolent crimes.

Wandering through one's CD collection, finding something one (eep, sound like The Queen. God bless her and all who sail in her) hasn't listened to in years, thinking "Why haven't I listened to this for years", putting it on, being caught unawares by The Song that is the reason for hiding it away and then feeling all sad and reminiscy for the rest of the day.

I really hate it when a strand of hair is on a bar of soap. It's hard to get it off and then when you finally do, it's then stuck to your hand and you can't shake it off because the wet strand of hair is stuck to your wet hand and then you have to rub your hand across the soap-scrum encrusted shower wall to make the hair stick to it instead of your hand.

-spoiled milk esp. after one has prepared a perfectly good bowl of cereal. I knnow what you mean. the other day, I came home late from work all munchied up. and I was fixing some dinner. I put some spagheti in a pot and some cut hot dogs and I tried to grab an egg from the refrig. and it was kindA glued to that thing with egg shapes where you put the eggs. the thing is when I finally got it, and broke it on the spaghiueti the thing inside was all liquidy and brown and it smelt like SHIT I was so disgusted, that I threw it away right away, and I didn't eat anything that night... later I had the image to stuck in my mind that I fucking dreamt of that shit.. I still think about it some times, but I'm getting over it.

Ugh, that's pretty traumatic Flutter and I hate when food gets ruined, spaghetti is my favorite.
I also hate when people have really good bodies and NO rhythm. Like I might be watchin' a dance show or in da' club and a smokin' hot chick has a killer body, but she doesn't know how to move it, it's so frustrating! What a turn-off...
