ok???? i do have coffee at work.

who's Job?

huh

Steve Jobs? The Apple CEO?

i dont know what i would ask him, lol. i think id be more interested it talking to someone like paul, or judas? or maybe Jobs friends

OMG, I cant believe some of the answers, well I would ask him what his life was like and would he have changed it.

Why don't you say Jobe, not job then peolpe will get your question. I would ask him why didn't you spell your name jobe, cos it looks like job.

Well, personally, I would just as soon not lose everything in the first place. Still, it probably suits the CEO of Citibank all right, who would tell you it's only good and just. But then again I don't have that column of smoke in the White House on my side.

Tangentally to the discussion of what is considered "just" and "right" and while we're on the subject of coffee, I'll cite a terrific handwritten sign on the sidewalk in front of the wonderful "Eisenberg's Diner" on 5th Ave. and 22nd St. in NYC. Founded in 1929 and unchanged since, the place almost went under with the rise of gentrification and accompanying rents, only to be saved (like Job) at the last moment by a great benefactor who has maintained it and all the staff just as it was, bless him.

The sign said:
"Come in and have a sandwich with one of our delicious flavored coffees! Today's Flavor: COFFEE."

Now, thinking about your question, maybe I've been wrong all along in feeling disenfranchised since, say, the Vietnam War. And those people who call themselves "Conservatives" who suggest my problems and worry about inequality and injustice in the United States are really being spiritual when they retort to me and others who complain with "Get A Job!"! I guess it's me that misinterpreted the generous and encouraging spiritual nature of their response, is all. Make that a light decaf caramel Venti latte with sprinkles. I feel better already.

I would ask him how he found the strength to stay alive through all his hardships. I know his faith made it worth it.

Do you want cream and sugar ?

Is patience really a virtue? And when you were paid back double did you feel like the Grand Prize Winner on the Price Is Right?

I'd ask HOW THE HECK DID YOU KEEP YOUR FAITH?!
