    Well, duh.

    Tell it to salaried employees though.

    I am salaried. And I work 40 hours. Period.

    I do, although, at times get a phone call after hours or on weekends. But, generally, for an hour or so of work, I am rewarded with an “Excellence Award”. And depending on the person requesting my after hours knowledge and ability, that reward can be $25, $50, $200, or $500. And, honestly, dealing with people who screwed everything up is worse than the work itself. But, more often than not, the work is a matter of finding which field has an incorrect value and fixing it.

    Well, that was my old job.

    The new job is just reconciling an invoice with the contract and saying “ok to pay”.

    This is UA, are you sure he can tie a proper noose or even a knot? If I see that UA built the gallows and tied the knot the only safe person is the guy being hung.

    Again, in this case let UA come by and show her what waits for her when she is single. I could not see a better way to send her running back, or if she is @Jenee to know full well she will pay for her idiocy. If I was dating I would just have a picture of him on my phone and as soon as whoever started getting bitchy just remind them of their possible options.

    Wait, how did I let this one slip by?

    Maybe not, but you're sure butt-hurt that you aren't.
    The proof is your constant seething over how good "college brats" have it.
    You're jealous of college kids and their opportunities, and you're jealous of "victims" because people give a fuck about them in a way you think no one gave a fuck about you.
    Then you tell everyone to fuck off to self-fulfill the expectation.
    Mission accomplished champ, you're despised.
    Good job!

    Fiction, from top to bottom.

    Don't involve me in your hiding from reality.
