But that's OK, I can wait a few more years for my life to be that fucked up.

You might think injecting the money at the bottom of the economy would do better at stimulating the economy than letting it gather at the top. Until you realize that Wal-Mart is just a short-circuit from the bottom to the top. Next idea, please...

They recklessly kept pushing derivative ponzi schemes until they collapsed, then brazenly took billions from the government to stuff in their own pockets, and continue displacing american workers with cheaper foreign labor. These people are morally corrupt, to the capital CORE.

w00t! For once, a poll with a real, accurate choice for me! And the numbers reveal: I'm a freak of nature.

It matters not one bit whether they learn to read on my lap in front of a physical book, or on my lap in front of a computer screen. The important thing is that I'm there teaching them how to expand their knowledge. After they've learned how to read, I think it's extremely important that they learn how to use computing and the internet to keep expanding their knowledge. If I can give them a computing environment to explore and learn to exploit, you bet I will. They will need that skill as an adult.

...so the security guys can hit on them at just the right time.

Just last week an instructor asked a 400-student class how many had "land" phone lines. Not a single student in that whole huge auditorium had one.

Yes, detailed time records every day. A new record for every time I switch tasks. I even keep track of when I surf Slashdot, do personal email, or use the bathroom. It's a great time management tool, and a deadly accurate time tracking tool (required because I do T&M). I average about 6.7 hours of productive work per 8 hour workday.

dang, where are my mod points when I want to use them.

Yes, I did have to change jobs. That "abuse" job was an awesome IT job for a small company for the first 6 years - being the technology "everything" for a ~40FTE nonprofit - but one day my boss just went berserk. Suddenly I'm in the land of unrealistic timelines, constant threats to my job, etc. It was a work environment that changed from positive to punitive. My mistake was giving the guy and the rest of the place a chance to come to their senses. Ha ha. Yeah, right.

The craziness never let up. I finally took ANY other job I could get - at a big pay cut - to get out of that place. Today, almost 5 years later, I barely put in a straight 40, get paid MORE, and get much better benefits, than if I had stayed in that shitty, abusive environment.

PS: the nutbag that pushed me out of that company eventually got fired, and the rest of them asked me to come back to work there. Unfortunately, they had hired another, different kind of nutjob as an IT manager. Insert "fool me once..." I got a nice raise from my current employer out of the deal though.

Natural breastfeeding is thousand times more convenient than bottle storage, let alone formula handling. It's free, it's almost always ready, and it's incredibly effective. I fully support a woman's right to breastfeed any age child, anytime, anywhere.

but the romantic one is the most important, so I chose that.

And all the gassbags that run it. Their RNG's have been getting really stressed out lately.

You know it's very important to be the frist one to break the news.

Wireless access is getting good, portables are useful. Keep in touch, will ya?
