My plans for orphans

How can I combat the mid afternoon sleepiness. The 3pm slump is the buzzword, but really it's just a lack of something to do. In fact I'm typing these words now just so that I look like I have something to do. I was in at 8.30am this morning for work, which is an ungodly hour of the morning to start work.
I have a few ideas of how to combat the rising unemployment figures in Ireland - Work the entire country on shifts. I know a lot of people who are perfectly able of waking up at 6.30am and doing a day's work, but I am not one of them. However, if I was to start work around 1pm I could then get a good morning's sleep. Let all the morning people start work at 7 and work through to 1pm, then they can have lunch/breakfast with the shift workers who start work at 2pm, fill them in on what is going on that day, then the afternoon shift work through to 9pm.

Failing that, I'm going to recommend that you sponsor an orphan in Africa, pay the 45 euro a month or whatever it is, make sure that orphan is taught how to do your job in secondary school, then when he or she turns 18, invite them over to Ireland and let them take over from you. Obviously you'll have to increase their monthly allowance, but if you include food and board, what more could they ask for.

The education system over there could be streamlined too. There is no need for an orphan to learn French if he is going to be working in Ireland, or to learn about geography if he is going to be mending broken computers all day long, is there!

Heck, we might even see positive racism - "These black kids coming over here, taking our jobs. They're a godsend aren't they."
