Ah ! GOD DAMN !

Two weeks ago, I received my paycheck only to notice that my employer forgot to pay for 22 hours of work (including some over time) in one week. I called him and he told me that the error would be corrected on the next paycheck.

Well, I just received my latest paycheck and guess what ? Not only is the error NOT corrected, but my employer forgot to pay for 16 hours of work (including some over time) last week.

I'm going to call him back tomorrow and if I don't get paid the 38 missing hours on the next paycheck, I'll personnally drive down the 35 kilometers to my employer's office and if I leave the office without a check, I'll go to my Union's office to fill a complaint against my dear employer.

God damn ! The Mafia broke legs for smaller debts...

Yeah - in two days it fell over 500 points! I got all my money out of stocks right now so the more it falls right now the better for me! I'll be hunting for a good opportunity in several months.

Well I got a pay raise, but I am still paying the same as all the other months. Hope it changes some time in the near future.

People who want something for nothing ! I work for a Mazda dealership. We
had a nutcase come in today, sez we "broke his transmission" (stick-shift)
when he was in for a tune-up/oil change last week. He sez because our
'idiots' don't know how to drive his car, we are responsible. Just for grins,
the tech who worked on his car has over 20 years experience, and is a
"Certified ASE Master" technician.

The tech who checked it out today, sez the clutch is trashed..... not the
transmission. Get a wheel, anyone ?

A stick car is way better to dirve for me than a automatic car.

Being chased away from the PC just as I sat down and the first time for the day.

Negative Creep:

I drive a 1987 Mazda B2000 Pick-up with 158,000 miles on it. I bought it
new in Dec of 1986. It's got five forward gears and a reverse. It even
has a carburetor !! Of course, I twisted a wrench for 25 years, so it's
always had the best of care. No dents, paint is ten years old and it
shines like a green beret's heel. I hope I never have to purchase another
vehicle. I like to "drive" and a stick is the only way to go. Oh, and it
does not have power steering, either ! Yes... (grin) it does have A/C.
