You should have said, "Everyone I've met from Delaware has been a stuck up snob." That is the only correct statement here. :jk: Unless you have honestly met more than half the population of the entire state and every one has been a snob. Only then would it be most.
Something brand new breaking down sucks. :( |

On a related note, I work late shifts all next week. Not too big a deal except that I'm so use to the early shifts and I'm going to feel out of whack. Blech, working in retail at Christmas time is so much fun. ::) |

The saddest part is that he's a really nice guy, even when he's tanked, which seems to be about half the time. Can't say that about the rest of the motley assortment of people who hang out at his place. There's a lot of arguing that goes on over there; from what I heard it's mostly about sex and money (the two Great Obsessions of modern America), plus a fair bit about drinking. My favorite is the one where they all yell at each other about how all the yelling is making them look like idiots. Not much I can do except live with it. That, and keep my valuables near a window in case I have to jump. :P |

Just to let you know (I am sure Cass does too), but I happen to be a "friend of Bill W." I do not mind breaking my anonymity once in awhile. I was like Cass's neighbor. I always had to have a drink 24/7 = 31. It got to the point my friends (if you want to call them that) did not want to drink with me anymore. I cared less of all the lives I wrecked in the wake of my alcoholism. I hated everyone, and by God - I was going to let them know! Even the ones who did care about me. Well I have been sober 15 years, and I sponsor people, and still attend meetings. The smoking followed four years after I got sober, and now I have 11 years. So I guess what ticks me off is the disease (not the person affected) of alcoholism and addiction.:'( |

Corporate double speak. I will give you an example: "Through this tough economy, we are still a strong corporation; it is nice to know your investments are safe with us. To remain competative, our leadership team will be looking at ways to cut expenses without eliminating our imortant resources."
They just cut 100 managers at VP level and above. I am in a VP position - but in an important department. I am still not going to trust it; I do have fear, and I am trying to make my department shine. I have a funny feeling they will be having yet another rounds of layoffs for subordinates as well. Those are the ones I am concerned for, let alone my own neck. I have the corporate greed on Wall Street to thank - always about the almighty dollar, no matter how they get it.:frankiemad::frankiemad::frankiemad: |
