This time they just said 'These are the people cut. ' starting from the bottom seniority-wise. One of them was the journeyman I was supposed to work under. Which makes very little sense to me.

We're starting a 'how many next week' pool until our sales department gets their asses in gear.

Typically this comes in waves probably based on the cash burn rate of your company and incoming revenue. If they (the management) deem that they need to layoff ppl to reduce cost, they do that and wait for the next quarter to see if things get better.

Good luck to you.

I never realized how behind the pack I was when it came to my television. The picture quality on my new screen is $#!)(%# amazing especially when watching The Avengers Movie Blu-Ray.

Hey guys, I've been wondering if I should move my stuff on to spreadshirt. I think shirts are like 6 bucks cheaper. Instead of 25, they're 18 or maybe less depending on shirt style.

I ask because this requieres me to re upload them in an 3xxx by 5xxx format rather than the 2400X3200 I was previously using

I post here because on my thread most members wont see it, and I want everyone to have an opinion so that they can get what they want for less

I sat here for 10 minutes trying to open a highly pressurized bottle of mt. dew with my left hand (I'm right handed). I even tried using my shirt as a sacrificial material and would have used pliers if I had any. But then I switched to my right hand on a whim and it opens right up on the first try with hardly an effort.

Are they of similar quality? If so, I don't see why not. Cheap is good, right?

The reason it's more on the site I use is because of currency differences due to the fact that its mainly located in Australia. Although I think they print them in NY. I'll send you an example
