Oops. Sorry about that. I meant they don't understand what they write. Not now, nor ever. A double negative should change it for the better.

Get a job, you bolshevik!

[PSYCHO-FREEP]

GOOD GAWDD YOU IDIOT!!!!!

Why can't you at least format? Or is it forbidden in the leftist/Marxist world? Intelligence certainly is in short supply among the morally challenged.

"They have cancelled holidays, including Good Friday"

zzzzzzt. WRONG. I've worked at several large companies, large and small, and ALWAYS had off on Goof Friday. Have you ever worked for a company?

"They have cut sick pay"

WTF? Haven't you ever had sick days? A sick day is a FULL DAY'S PAY, genius. It's standard to get seven sick days or so -- if where you work is being cheap about it, go somewhere else -- that's what I did.

"cancelled bathroom breaks"

Double WTF? Just where do you work? *Do* you work? Do you have any idea just how asinine this sounds?

"It is even beginning to affect civil service professions such as the police force, now requesting to cut their sick pay to only thirteen weeks."

I have more cop friends than I have fingers. I'd *kill* for thirteen weeks' sick pay, Mr. Moneybags. I get a whopping ONE. That's standard at most companies, and I work at a very large and reputable one.

"In addition to tracking devices on the phone, I would not be surprised if they started building toilets into the computer chairs so we could not even get up. You are now allowed no time in between calls."

Are you a 911 dispatcher? My closest friend is one of those. I hate to say it, but that's a crappy job. Why don't you go do something else? I suggested that to my friend years ago, but a job like that is based on political patronage, and he's too far up the political ladder to stop now. Hate to say it, friend, but if you made your bed you've got to lie in it. This *will* sound harsh, but it's true nonetheless -- my friend recently told me he wished he had tried harder in school, but it's twenty years too late now. I bit my tongue, but the truth is that you get out of school what you put into it--we both went to the same school, a poor Catholic school in a poor city, but had vastly different fortunes. My friend slacked off (and he admits it) -- I didn't. So spare me. If you do what I think you do then you've got to brown-nose to the politicians and wait until someone with more seniority dies or retires, as opposed to advancing based on -- ahem -- *merit*. *Never* take a civil service job -- just what were you thinking?

"You cannot even powder your nose without being harassed."

You sound an awful lot like a 911 dispatcher, or at least work in a call center. It's definitely a sucky job. Go look for something else -- anything else.

"Every week there are new slave rules in all of Corporate America and the taking back of every benefit and increase you have earned in the last 25 years."

Like hell. If you're good, and you work hard, you can do well. A long time ago I decided I wanted to be world-class at what I do. I worked hard in school, bought a ton of books in my field, sucked in every bit of knowledge I could, and you know what? I *am* good, and my boss knows it. I've done very well over the years. The day my boss forgets it is the day I start looking somewhere else. It's taken years to get where I am, but it's been worth it. You *still* have to put in the work though, and it's been a long road.

"What president sits in office being totally unaware of what is happening to millions of people throughout America?"

I've heard the storm clouds gethering. Half of our budget has gotten axed (actually a project wasn't approved), and I might be getting laid off. I DO NOT BLAME THE PRESIDENT. If I blame anyone I blame the bean-counters who don't understand the industry and what's required to make money in it. In my field I'm a jack of all trades of sorts, a "hired gun", and I can do what I do anywhere, in many industries (software is at it's heart a support industry -- we make other industries more profitable). I'm looking for another job right now -- but I say again -- IT IS NOT THE PRESIDENT'S FAULT. I don't care if that doesn't fit your political agenda -- it's the truth, and I'm sticking to it.

"Inside the workplace, the water is so murky it has become black."

Another WTF? Haven't you ever heard of OSHA? If that happened where I work I could create a sh*tstorm like you've never seen, and anonymously. Don't even think of blaming the president for this -- make the call for God's sake.

"They don't even get to eat lunch."

I find this impossible to believe. I once asked to take shorter lunches because I wanted to leave work earlier to beat the rush-hour traffic. The managers were okay with that, but they were worried that they'd be crucified by the state's worker-rights laws (apparently they're obligated to give me a break of a certain length based on the length of the workday). I actually had to sign a statement giving my permission to have a shorter lunch -- and I had *asked* for it.

Arnold is no friend of unions, he'd be happy to see these workers go...

[redhead]

[stands2reason]

I'd like to let you guys know that our man in washington, not F14 pilot is the author of the Saddam letter.

[Bud Krieger]

[F14 Pilot]

Bump

[F14 Pilot]

Think the first who posted/wrote this letter was Racebannon.
THANKS RACE!

[King Prout]

is that to mean: UserID = "our man in washington"?

[stands2reason]

Yeah, I was hoping you'd get that; it seemed kinda rude to put his name in quotes.

[MeekOneGOP]

That would scare the heck outta any mouse or Troll ! haha !

[wjcsux]

Snack Time!!

[LandofLincoln]

Why do I keep getting these MEOW responses, when at the same time good post just disappear?

[Darksheare]

Now you get flamed.

You snot sucking putrescent dhimmified goat bung!
You surrendering Jerry Garcia acid trip minded cheese minkey.
Your psuedo-intellectual fumes are as methane on a bog, your speech as loving words from a gap-toothed cow faced prostitute!
May your vile policies become as the Graf Spree.
Burned, scuttled, and SUNK.
