Fk no. I hate these Damn candy bars. But, they are a necessity and convenience in the Modrn world.

I have a Galaxy SII and I only got it because it was an upgrade.

I qualify for another upgrade but, even though I cracked the screen I am loathe to replace it.

Works fine and The crack is in a place that doesn’t bother me.

I have better things to do than get a Phd everytime I get another phone.

That and I like my dirt cheap “All you can eat” plan $47 bucks a month i

I’ll get another phone for Christmas or just wait tilnxt year.

Someone tell me where in Florida they’re striking. I will cross their line and walk out with a bag full of burgers.

It was that way 20 years ago when I managed the loading dock at a large department store.

Never had a full staff on any shift.

Making the schedule was like negotiating a nuclear arms treaty, but I don't know why I bothered because every shift someone's bus didn't show up or one of their babies' mommas had a court date or something.

I can’t imagine legalizing 20 million more minimum wage earners will help his situation.

A couple years back the SEIU was paying homeless people to protest a construction company in Michigan that wouldn’t hire union workers.

It turned out that the company owner was the primary benefactor of the homeless shelter the paid protestors lived in. If I recall correctly he paid some 65% of the total operating costs of the shelter.

The kids give you a whole new inspiration to work even harder, and tolerate levels of bullshit you never thought you could.

Forget about sacrifice. I can do without everything.

(Alright, not the products. I need my makeup.)

My problem is balance. I have to force myself to use time off. I’m doing that now, and trying to shake the guilt factor. But the freaks are 5 and 6, and I owe them at least one awesome Christmas with mama around. Decorated all day. Got a Clark W. Griswold thing going on:)

The roaches are joining the pre planned commie revolution. Using the masses who really believe they will be getting 15 dollars an hr for flipping ham burgers until the place closes down and they have zero

You’re right, it’s a necessity. You’ve gotta be able to find everyone when there’s a sick call.

I’ve gotten along just fine with my LG Rumor Touch. Can text like a horny teen on amphetamines!

“Making the schedule was like negotiating a nuclear arms treaty”

Lol. Totally true. And it cannot be done by a lame ass like Kerry. You need to thrive on hate.

Why aren’t they just looking for better jobs? What gives anyone the right to pick just any old job and then demand that it become a career? The employee is supposed to accommodate the job, not the other way around.

Attention FF retards:

I'm already moving to carrying ham and cheese sandwiches and a bottle of water. I don't need you any longer.

The fast food joints needs to introduce their employees to kiosks - no hourly wages, no benefits, no complaining.

Like here?

You can go to any diner and get much better quality food for about the same price but it takes longer and you have to pay a tip.

Occasionally my wife and I drop off the two kids at school and go to a nearby diner for a really good breakfast. Breakfast for two, $10.50 plus tip.

McDonalds, 2 egg macs and coffee for one person, $7.49.
