That blows, but at least you know where you stand at that moment. Nothing worse than endlessly waiting for a reaction.

Friday night is a depressing time to be stuck at work in dispatch. I gotta stop checking Facebook every five minutes to see how much fun the rest of the world is having.

I am getting old, my hair is turning white.

I'm fed up with my job. All full time staff has just been cut down to a max of 36 hours a week and, I still have to look it up but, in order to receive insurance through the company you have to be working 37.5 hours a week. We don't have the staff left (after laying people off) to get vacations, and I'm still "part time" even though I've been working 40 hours consistently for months now.

The only thing making it worse is that I have heard back from 3 companies I've applied to in the last 9 months, and have gotten no where on getting a new job, or starting my career. My computer science degree is rotting while I'm stuck in a retirement home kitchen.

You can always see if my company has something to suit your needs, I have been here a little over a year, and love it! Right now, we are getting more overtime than I can handle, and need to hire additional people.

I'm sorry, but a small part of me had to laugh a little, and though I do not wish to make light of a horrible act of terrorism like that, I can't help but think...

"Right to Life" my ass!

True, it is a lot of money, but no, my company is a workforce management company. I am an auditor directly under the CEO. And I wouldn't have overtime if what drugs...I would however have a sweet ride, and a bigger house.

My wife's moving out as we speak. It's partly sad and partly "good riddance." But mostly, it's sad.

What a self-important, whiny, sad, washed-up diva. The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame is mostly bullshit, we get it, but a public letter? Really?

@Axl, get serious. I liked GNR a lot back in the day, but Chinese Democracy was an abortion, both Slash and Duff are more popular than you (mostly because you insist on being a D bag) and the Rock Hall of Fame is going to induct you anyway because it isn't up to you. Get over yourself.

Here's a draft of what the R&R Hall of Fame's reply should be, in an open letter:

Quote

Dear Axl,

Go f__k yourself. No one has cared for like 20 years, and to be honest we couldn't even be bothered to read your whole letter. Welcome to the Hall of Fame, by the way. Ass.

Sincerely,
the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame

jlutin · « **Reply #2594 on:** April 14, 2012, 10:23:00 PM »

The whole idea of a Rock and Roll Hall of Fame is icky. It's 100% opposite of what Rock and Roll is supposed to stand for.

Certainly, and if that was Axl's official position he'd find a lot more people agreeing with him. He just hates the old band so much he wants to re-write the band's history. Weak.

Just found out a friend of mine (24 yo) at my students' association died yesterday under suspicious circumstances. No other news yet. FUBAR.

Dealing with game distributers. I try to be a responsible gamer and order stuff through the FLGS once in awhile and I always end up regretting it. It involves paging through a catalogue and marking what I want. The distributer rarely carries blisters they're often out of the boxed sets. So I wait a week to learn they're out of the product.

It's 2012. Get this crap online and try to carry more than one of each product. Grr.
