I'm 100% with you there. What the hell is the point in going to work if you never have a bloody thing to show for it.

Oh aye, and they're not issuing paycheques again. As soon as I find a half decent job elsewhere I'm flicking the cnuts a v-sign, 'losing' some files and paperwork and letting them stew in their own juices.

Bastards.

Got any wine gums, Sultan?

That's just plain weird. Cringey, even.

I'd give you 2 bucks, but the bastards weren't throwing anything but dimes into my bucket this morning.

That was one my mate came up with ages ago - I always thought it was quite funny the thought he put into it.

I have to admit, it's good one.

PS - I prefer the red ones, and you can keep the coat buttoned up.

Reversing out of a space at the grocery store yesterday, and looking all round, but view was partially blocked by a huge Chevy Suburban. Mother (not fit to be in charge of kids) with 2 young kids just walked right behind my vehicle. Luckily I have reverse warning and didn't hit them. Did she not see reversing lights ffs. I did roll down my window and called her stupid, although I could have added a few more choice words.

So that's great isn't it! What are you supposed to tell you landlord, 'sorry I'm not writing rent cheques this month'?
