    This was on TV last night. I heard this movie was bad, but not that bad. In fact, it's far worse.

    Le me, having not realized that Jontron done a review, quite surprised about what had happened. What a coincidence !

    Nah it was fine once I realised it wasn't intended to be a jab. :3 Plus I've probably said a ton of dumb things that offended someone.

    Offending people is really easy, you don't even have to try, you just have to be yourself and people will hate you. :3

    I'm having dinner while on break at work. It is currently 9:00 and I have to work till 11:00. My dinner is a vitamin water drink, and a block of cheddar cheese. Then it's off to stall till 11:00 because all my work is done.

    Working is lame, but the money isn't.

    Lucky. All my hours keep getting cut. This weekend was the first time I worked in two weeks and I only got a couple 4 hour days, and I don't work again until next Wednesday. v.v

    You might want to find out if you did something wrong, and if you can make it right.
    A lot of companies will cut an employee's hours to force them to quit, rather than just firing them.

    I'm not saying that that's what's happening, but it's a real possibility.

    It's happening to just about everyone for part-time. They usually cut hours at this time of the year, but it's worse for me this year than it was for last year. I don't doubt the fact that I've gotten a raise for being there for a year is a cause of that. I've also heard a rumor that managers get bonuses for not using part-time hours, which is just stupid. Yeah, give those managers the money that I'm not making. Doesn't hurt me any since that's time I get off! Except I'm not there just for fun, I'm there to make some money so that I can go out and have fun!

    Another thing is how one of my full time coworkers joked about how he thought part-time meant part of the forty hour work week, not part of the year. Apparently he hadn't worked with a part-timer the entire week (though I don't know how much he had been scheduled for during the week, he might have gotten two days off during which there was a part time person around).

    One thing that really grinds me is that up at the front desk there's a sign that says "now hiring." REALLY? HIRING PEOPLE FOR WHAT? Yeah, hiring new people who haven't been around long enough to get a raise so that you can give hours to them instead of someone like me who's put a lot of time into the position he's in, and as such has grown some knowledge about the store (oh, sorry if I didn't mention already I'm in retail), and probably, I dunno, EARNED that raise that was given to him at a year of being there?

    Ugh, but I'm just ranting. It's just been tough... I feel bad that I have all this stupid free time and I'm sort of just twiddling my thumbs when there's people out there that really could use some time off from their own crappy jobs.

    Ah... part-time.

    Yeah, that sucks. Companies tend to treat part-timers as disposable, so you're pretty much at their mercy unless you can manage to get hired full-time.

    Hey everyone!

    Here's my great accomplishment of the day - I've slept eight hours. That's a lot for me, especially when I can't breath through my nose. Now I feel all groggy.

    Hmm, I'm probably the slowest person on this forum to reach that point.

    Any ways - Yippee. 2000.
