I'm off work tomorrow for the National Day of Mourning. Not sure whether to thank Bush or Trump, so, thanks Obama!

Yeah. My wife found out, so now I have chores and **** to do. Lol.

[dodint]

Yeah, I immediately thought of all the chores I need to do, like take that faulty air compressor to Irwin that I've been putting off for 11 months now.

[dodint]

It's really interesting trying to watch a government agency slam to a halt in less than eight hours. Basically I'm twice as busy today.

[meow]

So still not very busy, eh?

[dodint]

Heyyyyy-oohhhhhhh, this guy!

[MR25]

2 x 0 = 0

[robbiestoupe]

[NTP66]

Now do it in common core.

[meow]

I’ll divide then count to it

Shad, if you've worked for a company for 15 years, and have nothing but great things, however worry about their future due to poor results and bad leadership decisions, so you start talking to other potential employers and they ask you why you are leaving, would "I love the company I'm with, however I'm worried about my future employment due to financial difficulties and uncertainity surrounding the company" as a legit excuse?

[meow]

Is there a more legit excuse?

That's a fine reason. Your long tenure speaks for itself

I said the exact same thing when leaving my previous job for the job I have now. 7 years at my previous company and coming up on 7 years in my current role.

[Pavel Bure]

Told boss I was leaving the company. He was actually super happy for me and appreciated the early warning. Said if I ever want to come back I can. Thanks for the advice guys.

That’s called stability. The company is in a period of great change and you want a more stable environment.

Yesterday around 2 pm a co-worker decided it was time to listen to Christmas music. She also decided that headphones weren't necessary. The Christmas music has been playing nonstop since then, loud enough for everybody on the floor to hear. Who thinks that's okay?

[mikey]

I'm a Christmas music fan...but I wouldn't listen to anything loud enough for an entire anything to hear...

Not okay. I love Christmas music and listen to it 24/7 when they start playing it on the radio, but I have enough decency to listen to it on headphones.

my old job was in a small office and the one person that worked in the center of the office played 3ws (i.e. Christmas music) for 8 hours a day for a month. not very fun.

[count2infinity]

They play music out on the floor, but they all rotate through picking stations and playlists. In the office, where my desk is located, no one is playing music without headphones. And they'd be reprimanded if they did.

This is borderline psychological torture. My first job was DVE all day every single day for 4 years. We weren't allowed headphones in because the owner hated it.

[MrKennethTKangaroo]

NO STOP SIGNS, SPEED LIMITS

[meow]

Let the christmas music people have their music

[nocera]

Hey, I listen to Christmas music also, but I wear headphones like a decent person.

[meow]

Good. They should block out her music then
