I saw Office Space when it originally premiered in the theaters. Me and my old lady were the only two people there that night, and now it's a cult iconic film. Who knew back then?

He missed a trick, he could have got himself busy making Airfix models.. it works!!!

Similar story. A group of us from (ugm) Company A followed our CIO when he went to work for Company B and over time brought a group of us along. Since the company we worked for was going through a downsizing it wasn't a tough conversation.

Of the group of 5 people, 2 of us continued to receive paychecks from Company A. Those 2 (not me) would call every two weeks, say "Hey, you know we don't work for you any longer" and the company would take the check back through electronic deposit, which allows them to do that. After the 3rd time of doing this, both persons opened a separate checking account, submitted through the employee portal to have the money deposited to the new account, then stopped calling. It was 12 months before the checks stopped, and another 2 months before the money all disappeared from the account.

So after that, I just spent the rest of the match destroying them out of annoyance and spite.

Come play WZ Plunder with me! Is not as competitive as playing Battle Royale, is just a way to level up weapons and level fast.

Well... yes... . There's no friendly fire tho lol. Just collect money, kill whoever runs in your way and that's it. No zones, its a more relaxed setting than doing Battle Royale or no Re-spawn type of games.

Today I learned that when you transfer the passenger seat occupancy sensor from a limited BRZ, you have to move both the heated seat pad and the sensor for it to work. I learned this the hard way.

TIL, gas/fuel/petrol is still going up. It's gone up 20 cents a gallon at the same Chevron station I fill up at since my last fill up almost 4 weeks ago.
