      As an avid reader of this forum, I hate to make its current trend towards negativity any bleaker, but I couldn’t help pointing out the front page splash on today’s Irish Daily Mail.

      Screaming hysterically out on newsstands across the land:

      DESPERATE ARCHITECTS BEGGING TO TO WORK AT McDONALD’S
      Professionals queue up for jobs at burger bar

      😮

      ‘Tis truly the end of days…

      In fairness, there were some desperate architects!

      I imagine its the uniform – shades of grey with highlighted primary colours – would appeal to most architects 😉

      Well my first thought was that these “desperate architects” were queueing up in the mistaken belief that a ‘McDonald’s job’ meant a cushy number designing one of their restaurants.

      However, other professionals mentioned in the text included bankers and (I think) engineers: surely the bankers would be a more notable group to highlight? Since when did architects deserve to be held up above those involved in the destruction of the economy?!
