I used to have the DVD sub as well, but cancelled it a few years ago. Almost renewed it earlier this year because I really wanted to watch Willow for some reason. |

But all that story really does is make me reminisce about the days of my brother and I riding our bikes to the neighborhood Blockbuster and trying to find movies and video games to rent. There's no real experience like it anymore.

But that hasn't happened in a while and we caught ourselves sometimes keeping a DVD for weeks before we would watch it.

Later, we would do the Blockbuster thing like you describe with the kids. The very first DVD player we purchased for ourselves for Christmas 1999 had a free month of Netflix in the box. After about 3 months of Netflix we never went back to Blockbuster again.

So we have a grumpy employee, having issues at home and taking it out on people at work. Constant whining about petty shit and being a ****. I had some tools of my own set out from working on something that wasn't even in the way so he kicked them across the floor Shit like that. He was also one of the most vocal about not working when it was smoky due to health reasons. Well, someone we both know sent me a screen shot from his sons facebook working and welding on a truck outside during work hours on one of the days he went home a month ago due to unsafe conditions. So since I am not above stooping to other peoples level I have been printing this off and putting them up around the building. Currently one is on the inside of a bathroom stall door and another is inside the fridge. We will see how this plays out

His place is less then 10 minutes away in city traffic.

And when I say he was the most vocal about it being too smoky at work. He was walking around bitching about how everyone in management doesn't care about hourly employees. If they showed up to work and we sent them home, which we let them decide if it was too smoky, we paid them for at least half a day If they were there over 4 hours and went home which happened the first day, we gave them the full day paid.

Then you picked a backup in case they didn't have it. Then you picked a backup for the backup. There was nothing more satisfyingly than seeing a wall of empty cases and then having some blue shirted teenager say "Oh I think a copy was just returned".

The issue between him and me is his son was fired last year. He thinks I am one of the ones that pushed for it. I had no decision in the matter but he thinks his son was fired to put me in his position.
