Jean Chretien, a former prime minister of canada, (when did they become a separate govt from ours?) is under fire for alleged misuse of funds in order to defeat a separatist movement.

the funds were spent in a ‘unity campaign’ to keep the french canucks part of canada.

If I were them, I would have found something better to spend the funds on, like the homeless or something. At least they don’t have ‘french’ in their name.

f’ing Quebecois.

I hate this place. PTO(Paid Time Off) is accrued here if you have a certain number of hours. It is to be used if you need it for vacation pay or for sick pay. You’re SUPPOSED to be able to use it if you need some times off outside of what you’re normally scheduled for, not necessarily for days scheduled, but for amount of hours.

So, since I was gone to California last week, I needed to take four days of PTO. I put in the computer that I needed four days and did everything as I should have.

My boss gives me ONE day.

How the hell am I supposed to pay bills on 5 days of work, rather than 8? I can’t just tell the electric company “Hey, you know, my boss shorted me on pay this week, you’re not going to get any money for the electricity I used.” or the gas company “Y’know, much as I love the heat in my house, you’re just not going to get paid.”

So, the question is this: If I’m not allowed to tell my bill collector’s that, why is my boss in a unionized job able to tell me I can’t use vacation hours for vacation time?

the more I work here the more I hate it.

I’m fed up with this one.

I’m looking at freelance websites out there, but I’m very leery of what they want from the writer/provider.

I’m looking at Monster and Hotjobs, and there isn’t anything really interesting on either of their sites.

Anyone have any suggestions? You know what we SHOULD do: all writers in the area, capable of humor, should get together sometime and hammer out either a script or a book, and then try and get it published. I know many people whom are funny(Erin, Angel,, Sue, Stephen, I’m lookin’ at you), and we should really try something out like this.

Because folks, life after college? Yeah, not so enjoyable.
