  1. I haven't "heard" shit.. this thread sucks ass. "Find out just what any people will quietly submit to and you have found out the exact measure of injustice and wrong which will be imposed upon them."
  2. Hell ya! You've just achieved really sexy in my book Not that you weren't already. "Find out just what any people will quietly submit to and you have found out the exact measure of injustice and wrong which will be imposed upon them."
  3. Sorry for your mishap this morning Are you still a NON SMOKER? "Find out just what any people will quietly submit to and you have found out the exact measure of injustice and wrong which will be imposed upon them."
  4. Ya.. ok I buy products based on their pitch man or catch phrases. "Find out just what any people will quietly submit to and you have found out the exact measure of injustice and wrong which will be imposed upon them."
  5. Out of your list I buy 1 brand name and one type of Japanese cuisine. At least I KNOW my sushi is made here in the US since it's normally made in front of me before I pop it into my mouth. Sony on the other hand.. I play a game called Everquest and it's based out of San Diego Calf. but the parent company is Sony. I've got a Sony TV I bought about 5 years ago. Hard to replace a TV with anything not Asian made. Might be able to find a Mexican made (assembled) Zenith if I looked hard enough.

  6. WTF no one has T-Mobile? "Find out just what any people will quietly submit to and you have found out the exact measure of injustice and wrong which will be imposed upon them."
  7. What do we actually buy from Japan anyways anymore? I mean most of what we buy on a daily basis is made in China, via a Taiwanese or Japanese contractor.

  8. Disregard this post.. since I got no relative information from you peeps. I dared one of my co-workers to complain to HR. Just as she was about to write her email. An email came down from the mountain and proclaimed Monday as a "weather day"! All of us peons rejoiced that no one needs to sacrifice themselves for our honor & pay. . . .there was overtime pay to be had by all. "Find out just what any people will quietly submit to and you have found out the exact measure of injustice and wrong which will be imposed upon them."
  9. No such thing as comp time around here. it's black or white, you're here or you're not. You're either working or you're sick or on vacation. If you've not got any time off left. You don't get paid and if you use more then a few unpaid days you are taking your job into dangerous territory. I just raised a complaint with my immediate boss and he told me not to go there or I might be on the outside looking in. "Find out just what any people will quietly submit to and you have found out the exact measure of injustice and wrong which will be imposed upon them."
  10. I've got a situation I'm not very happy with. It's over 8 hours of pay. Let me setup the situation. Monday Houston was experiencing a storm that caused flooding on major thoroughfares. Making it tough to get around. At 6:45am I called my supervisor, he informed me to "stay home, it's flooded here at the plant and you shouldn't try to make it in." So basically I've been told to stay home. (Cool!!) ... Well.. we (those of us who were told to stay home) get to work yesterday and are informed "Monday wasn't an weather day" so we've got to use a sick day or a vacation day to make up for lost pay. I'm irate because I was going to try and make it into work. If I had known, I would have tried to get to the office once the storms died down. This was not my supervisors decision, it was made by his boss. Yet not by HR of the company. Supposedly Monday wasn't considered an "in-climate weather day" but only a hand full made it in, and they only did it because they didn't call first. Now those who came in at "late" basically after their 8am start time are being credited for 8 hours with no use of sick or vacation time. So if I had showed up to work at noon (some did) I wouldn't be using any of my personal time off. I'd get credit for 8 hours. *edit* for spelling.. So really is this right? I know it's not fair, but can they (the bosses) get away with this crap? "Find out just what any people will quietly submit to and you have found out the exact measure of injustice and wrong which will be imposed upon them."
  11. Far from it, that's how long I've been a NON-SMOKER .. so Weege, if I can do it. I KNOW you can. Not smoking is cool, don't you wanna be cool like me? "Find out just what any people will quietly submit to and you have found out the exact measure of injustice and wrong which will be imposed upon them."

You can load up RSS feeds from a shit load of sources and have links to all the stories you want to read and more you probably don't want to.
