That's the M.O. of a lot of companies these days; our former CEO kept repeating "we have to do more with less" at the yearly company town hall meeting. All of that is all well and good but it's a hard pill to swallow when all of that is prefaced with a briefing on the record profits which don't really affect us.

Nothing can stop me now, cause I don't care anymore.
Hey pig. Nothing's turning out the way I planned.
Hey pig. There's a lot of things that I'd hoped you could help me understand.

Are you sure that isn't Dollar Point, Canada?
Here I am complaining because it's 85 and humid and my car's A/C sucks. It might be time to top off the refrigerant again. I just got back from The Girl's place, time to go for a ride, then work 45 minutes or so to get 40 hours for the week and show my boss what an awesome worker I am. The Girl is heading off to Disney World with some of her family for a week. I've never been. Not sure I ever want to go, she says the costumed people touch you.

my bike fitter recommended i swap saddle as my current saddle had to be pointed down 10 degrees to be comfortable. I now have a white Cobb saddle that really clashes with my bike, but eff it, it's comfortable.
Here are my positions, criticize away
it's a live feed, so the last two hours of the race is televised. After the race, head over to cyclingtorrents.nl for the day's action

Try to follow the law and you get nothing but screwed. Registered my boat trailer, since I'm such a nice guy, instead of just saying that I'm borrowing it from a friend in South Carolina (they don't register trailers).
For my trouble I got a huge headache at the DMV showing proof of ownership, then I had to send in the bill of sale (again), to help them value it. Now I just got the bill and they valued it at $5000. I paid $400, and it arrived beat up, so it's probably worth $300, since he refunded me $125 or something.
****ing idiots. Try to be a good citizen and all I get for my trouble is ****ing headaches.

It's worth it to go, if just to feel skinny next to regular Americans.

Yeah. I thought I'd stumbled into a casting call for the live action version of Wall-E.
