RandomPeon's Journal: "100 EUR? That's real money!!"

Does anybody know how to use the Euro symbol in a en-us Firefox 1.0 on Windows? It would really add a lot to this journal.

In the style of my Slashdot mentor, Some Woman, I provide a dramatis personae:

JManager: My manager, not the person who usually runs the staff meeting.
ONG: Other new guy.
SAG: South Asian Guy
EEG: East European Guy

So I am at work today. And we have a staff meeting. And one of the of the items on the agenda is our new weekend support plan. I'm not going to bore you all with the gory details, except to note that in some cases we seem to divide the World into 3 continents: North America, Europe, and Asia. In other cases we seem to divide it into only two: Asia and Not Asia. The joys of being in manufacturing, one step removed.

JManager: "So basically we would pay $100 for doing nothing. At 6PM local on Friday, you can probably take the $100 and run. If you have to work past 6PM, you get $300 for picking up the phone. And $COMPLEX_FORMULA dollars an hour for working on the weekend"

SAG: "It says a hundred Euros, not a hundred dollars".

ONG: "That's like, $132."

EEG: "No, it's more like $134 this week. I should know, I'm going home for Xmas. Grumble.... "

JManager: "That makes 5432 issues with the new plan that management didn't consider: dollars aren't worth very much any more...."

ONG: "I'll take the Euros, that's fine with me."

Me: "Could we just get paid in Euros? I mean, keep the same number on the paycheck, just like this, but give it to us in Euros?"

JManager: "No, absolutely not. We'd go bankrupt. But, maybe we could just keep all the money for ourselves and have all the weekend support done in low-wage countries like America. Anybody up for phone calls at 2AM?"

Watch out, Europeans. We're the new India. We won't work for peanuts, but we will work for Uncle Sam brand toilet paper. Maybe I don't have to worry about being outsourced - by the 2008 I'll be cheaper than the guy in India.
