Dana Kuchler was fired after 21 years as a dispatcher. Kuchler posted on her personal Facebook page that she was "addicted to Vicodin, Adderall, quality marijuana, MD 20/20 grape and absinthe."

Kuchler claims it was just a joke, but the West Allis Police Chief fired her.  City attorney, Scott Post, says the chief "felt that the things that were said on Facebook reflected adversely on her individually and the police department and affected her ability to perform her duties as a dispatcher.”

Debbie Griffin

Personnel at the U.S. Census Bureau office in Eau Claire confirm: It is hiring census takers for $13.75 per hour and expects to have temporary jobs open for the next several months.

Census takers for 2010 will begin work in spring and normally work within their own community. Duties include locating households, explaining the purpose of the census, conducting a brief interview with residents and recording responses on paper forms.

Census takers must work when people are typically home, which means many work evenings and weekends. They work 20-40 hours a week and get paid weekly.
