I Want THEIR Job!

Listened to the news and weather this morning, and decided once again that the best job in the world has got to be WEATHER FORECASTER!  The forecast for Saturday stated, "... and Saturday evening the snow will start to accumulate.  Depending on how it develops we'll see about one to three inches, although it could be a lot more than that, or a lot less."  REALLY?  What is a "lot less" than one to three inches?  After all, one inch of snow really isn't a lot of snow in western Pennsylvania in December.

The next thing we'll hear is "If you don't have to go out on Sunday morning -- DON'T.  Did you ever notice that the weather forecasters NEVER say that on Tuesday evening about Wednesday morning?   This is a tangent from the topic, but how is it that it's VITAL that we go out to work on a weekday, but NOT that we go out to worship on a Sunday?  Is worship less important than work?

Back to the point--How many jobs are there that permit such vague generalizations about the area of expertise.  What does it take to be considered an "effective" weather forecaster?  It is NOT an ability to forecast the weather!  While my tongue IS somewhat in my cheek right now, wouldn't you love to get paid whether you are right or wrong EVERY working day of your life?
