People who think they aren't expendable.  Everybody, in every position/profession can be replaced.

Then there's politicians, and doctors.  I used to do homework for some doctors in undergrad for side money...  They're better and smarter than me how?  Oh right...  Till they either become sensible in their pricing, or become government employees, I'd rather die than see one for something as simple as a cold.

Considering America has been hiring overseas expats for positions like doctors and engineers due to not enough domestic professionals I'm inclined to disagree...

When I get sick, and the sickness keeps me up all night. o_o I've barely had any sleep.

By the way, guys, it seems that the current strain of stomach virus has an incubation period of about a week.


Drink vast quantities of saline. That will allow an easy way out...

o.O
I'm eating crackers and drinking flavored water. Earlier this morning, I told myself "I'm not eating for a while." Guess I lied to myself. I started getting dizzy, and then I realized that everything food-related had left my body last night.

One dumb annoying thing is that my cat Sandy saw the mini trash can I'm keeping with me in case I throw up again, and he decided he wants to sit inside of it. I keep having to dump him out of it. He hasn't tried for a while, at least. It would be funny and adorable if that wasn't my "vom bucket."

The day after I spend all of my extra money on wine and whipped cream, the controller I use for gaming on my laptop decided to break. :l

I'd dare say that the fact that we're hiring overseas proves my point rather effectively.  If naturally born American's can't do a job (for the employer's desired payout), they know that can get it elsewhere.  Again, everybody is expendable, even the undereducated, undermotivated American worker.

I'll give you the benefit of the doubt undereducated, but 'undermotivated'? Really?

The USA has the single most productive workforce on Earth. You'd be pretty hard pressed to call us a lazy country.

Well considering the conditions of how I got my current job.........yeah, good luck replacing me.

Since this place went 4 months without a manager and was basically given me because they couldn't find anyone qualified i'm not concerned about losing my job

When things just gets so frustrating, I really want to throw and destroy something and scream!! >:(

I just talk to myself to lessen the tension of my frustration. Having a nice day, with some frustration, with a harsh mother to ruin the whole day.


She's my mother. Of course I love her. But I've really just had enough of the stupid yelling like being barked at by a freaking chihuahua. Whatever I might do, I'd probably just get in trouble. It's not in my true nature to be fighting with mother, and getting my things taken away for the most stupid reasons is just annoying. And it's always "I'm going to take this away if you don't do this!"

I question why there's such sourness between a child and a parent's relationship. Even if they say they're just trying to help with life...

One reason I eventually dropped Bleach. X3 After the whole Aizen war arc and the fullbring arc, things just get... ridiculous.

It started to remind me of those people who make OCs that are everything. Like "This is Zephyr Von Doomsday. He's a werewolf vampire time lord demon fallen angel chimera who can perform alchemy."
I also get tired of the whole "You're the main character, therefore you're literally the most powerful being in the world who pulls amazing power out of nowhere" thing.

When a video game doesn't tell you something that would be very useful to know.
I only just now found out that, during the escort Queen Minnie mission in Kingdom Hearts 2, if you stand right next to her and press the Triangle button, it unleashes a big attack that knocks all heartless away.
Seriously.
She almost died.
Because I was just gonna try to rush through the throne room instead of trying to fight the really difficult annoying giant heartless things.
And I could've just done that the whole time.
And the game never told me I could do that.
Wow.
I actually said "Oh my God" out loud when I found it out. I saw a reaction command (Press Triangle to do the command) for a split second, and I was like "Wait, what was that?" That's pretty much how I found out about it.

Watching your $900 tax return dwindle down to $200 because of service charges.

That's ok, it's not like I was using that to go to a certain convention in July or anything

Looks like alot of walking to work, keeping the heat off at night and other convenience cutbacks so I can make up the difference

700 dollars of "service charges"? Were you using some highway robber tax service or something?

Pipkin

Good ol' H&R Block....

Had no choice as I was a couple years behind though....regardless I was putting away $20 a week on top of my standard deductions all year so I had a refund worth doing my taxes for

Midnight Breeze

Well, my federal tax return was untouched, but my state taxes...


"You are entitled to a state tax return of 20 dollars."

Okay, let's claim that.

"You may collect your state return for a 19.95 services charge."

Errrrrr....

I'll consider it a 20 dollar donation to the state...

People really need to stop overcharging for things. :/ Like medical bills.

Or just adopt universal healthcare like every other country on the face of planet Earth.

It's ridiculous that the country that conducts the majority of the worlds medical research has the worst access to  the fruit of said research.

Whenever I start to get comfortable and my cat decides that the keyboard is exactly where she should lay.
I believe the shape of happiness resembles glass. Even though, we don't usually notice it, it's still definitely there, we merely need to change our point of view slightly, and that glass will sparkle whenever it reflects the light. I doubt that anything else can argue its own existence so perfectly

Why don't you move to Canada? ovO
