I just have to say how much I love my job and how much I adore my bosses: Jennifer, Tom, and Jimmy. The three of them put together a bunch of info and all kind of crap to get our jobs here in the Customer Center, re-evaluated for a pay increase. Basically they told the board of directors that we do tons of shit and aren't getting paid enough for the amount of work we do. The board agreed and we all got more f'n money! Woo Hoo. What's even better is that I am up for review in a month... that on top of this increase will make me a very happy gal. I'll get to stay in my apartment. Yesss. Anyway, the reason I brought up my job, is because of my Boss Jennifer. She has got to be one of the cookiest and funniest Gals I've ever met. I love this woman - she rocks. That being said, I also need to bring up the fact that I am the burpingest Girl in the world. Serious - I rattle the widows with my burping. Apparently Jennifer noticed - She sent me this email:
Report: Scientists Cure Burping Sheep
Tuesday, June 22, 2004 Posted: 8:57 AM EDT (1257 GMT)
BERLIN, Germany (Reuters) -- Scientists have developed a serum to reduce methane gas in burping sheep, cows and other ruminants to combat global warming, a German magazine reported Monday.
The Hanover-based monthly Technology Review will report in its July issue that Andre-Denis Wright, a molecular biologist at Australia's CSIRO Institute, has found a vaccine that reduced the methane emissions of sheep by eight percent.
The magazine said that scientists believe the amounts can be reduced even further and more testing is planned.
Sheep produce seven-tenths of an ounce [20 grams] of methane each day, or 15.4 pounds [seven kilograms] per year, the magazine reported. Cows produce about 250 pounds [113.4 kilograms] per year of methane, or CH4 -- a gas 21 times more powerful as a greenhouse gas than carbon dioxide, the main gas blamed for driving up temperatures.
Much of the methane gas comes from agriculture, such as livestock emissions from cows and sheep, and waste dumps.
