While scrolling on my iphone I always accidentally hit thanks on random posts, and then delete right after... Wonder if people get thanks notifications then get bummed when theirs actually nothing... Not even from there own mother.

The Discover IT card sure does make you feel special. It comes in a really pretty, solid package. And when you call to activate it a real person answers the phone, just to activate it. I know their commercials promise real people every time you call, but I didn't expect it for activation.

If there is sidewalk, I am with you there should be no fuss about 25 MPH. Heck, I have seen people driving at 50+ MPH in a 25 MPH (with sidewalk) for no apparent reason.

Yes there is a sidewalk, it's difficult to find a residential area without a sidewalk around here.

Happened to me once or twice. This is how I felt.

Also, I'm surprised I've never been yelled at to slow down around here. There's a ton of families in my subdivision and I'll admit, I have a tendency to go relatively fast leaving and entering, though if I see any kids out playing I always go slower and keep my eyes on them, particularly if they're playing with any sort of ball that might bounce into the road.

Apparently, last Halloween my brother got yelled out, quite loudly by a woman to slow down in the subdivision when he wasn't going very fast, and he drives a little Tacoma. My mom actually called to warn me about the woman on my drive home. I didn't have the FR-S then, though.

So this is a bit dirty money from a certain perspective. However the union guys didn't give two shits about us until they started to feel threatened and now they are kissing our asses, too. But their shop all hates each other. Only one guy takes his break in the lunchroom, the rest stay at their workbenches. Everyone snitches on each other over break lengths, etc... We get along better. Not great, but still much better. So working environment is a factor.

Big thing with this potential adjustment is in the meeting I had, they started asking how I was progressing in my new position. I answered truthfully, saying that I'm still not independent/need coaching, but they gave me the ridiculous increase anyways, and offered to pay for the schooling that I'm taking, even though it's only a little job related.


So am I a whore now?

Now I am entering the zone I do not want to enter: sketching on the unknown. The management may simply want to level the salary between the unionized and not-unionized employee for the merge. However, this will increase the salary budget so they must find some other ways to cut cost...

Now this is purely speculation so don't take it seriously. Maybe the management want to *keep* you happy in the current job with raise and assistance, with potential to grow to a better employee, while finding some ways to get rid of the unionized people. I got the impression that management do not like unionized employee, and I could be way wrong on this. As I said, the management has to find some way to pay for the *market adjustment* in their budget so cutting people is the quickest way.

Well, just take the raise and be happy about it. I know the feeling when you get raise and others don't. Do not feel bad for others or superior for yourself and just do the work and keep low on profile.

I know Dimman and mess with him, but if all of you Canuckistanians want to get in on it, then so be it.


If Jaguar = Jagwar
then labour = labwar

Is that what you're trying to say? Cuz that don't make no sense, frosty!


Say it with me: LAY-BER

Hrm...
Last night I decide to go to an large empty parking lot at an unnamed location and tested out the limits of my car. Burned rubber smells pretty bad. Also my car has so much body roll. Also, even with the crap tires on my car, I didn't lose control when yanking the steering wheel abruptly and pressing the brakes at 45mph, thus I learned that I am too much of a ***** to actually drive at the limits of the car.

Then I get back and my door latch is jammed, and I break my key in half trying to turn it -_- So I idly drove around and gave my car some more E85. Now, I have over 5 gallons of E85 in there (I have trouble telling how much gas is in the tank, but I would guess that this makes for 40% ethanol), and the engine is purring smoother than ever :3
