  1. Of course, that comes with the additional aggravation of not having union backup, so when the boss wants to make up some bogus charge, put you out on the streets and have his niece in your chair, you're screwed.
  2. Shit happens.
  3. Usenet: alt.society.homeless
  4. So was Kent Paul Dolan
  5. From that list, I pick 2c and 3.
  6. There's no jump suit on this job.
  7. About two and half years.
  8. Is that why I sold it for three times what I paid for it? Anyway, the buyer put his house and horses on it.
  9. Point to a working model.
  10. That's part of what our legal department is for. As long as we can point to a few token gestures, such as the voluntary exclusion list, it's all in the clear.
  11. Tell them the truth. Sexual activity and use of IV drugs are the highest risk factors, condom or no condom.
  12. A person who makes his job look easy.
  13. Yeah... in the Twilight Zone, where such machines are possible.
  14. Scroll up. I just posted the alternative to my job.
  15. Beats the alternative. The alternative is to run up forty or fifty thousand dollars in high interest student loans so I can work in cubicle, wear a neck tie and get a nine dollar an hour paycheck with over $400 a month deducted for health benefits.
  16. It seems every time I take vacation time, the Asian Marketing division never gets their trash taken out on schedule. Ditto for the front desk crew and the executive offices behind it.
  17. Actually, it was a vacant lot, 14 acres.
  18. Also, I don't spend much on groceries. There's an employee dining lounge with a free buffet. I only pay for meals on my days off.
  19. It's a union job, so it pays more than most non union jobs. Plus health benefits without any co-pay.
  20. Think about it this way. The pensions are portable from state to state. So, I'd move to a state where one could get a lot more square footage for the money.
  21. There wasn't any loan. Purchasing it was a cash deal.
  22. I've had some of my own ATM receipts go as high as $37k, after selling a piece of land.
  23. That was all stated to me by the business agent and confirmed by the handbook.
  24. My current income is about $28k a year. You have no clue how the pension system works here. There are two separate pensions. One from the local and one from the international. The employer pays into them for each hour and so, they both grow every year, according to how much is paid into them as well as their investment income. Combined, they come out to way more than what SSDI could offer me. I'm worth more retired than working right now because I've been having contributions paid into it since 1989. I'm just waiting to reach the the right age. The employer is only authorized to contribute to them. The employer can not withdraw from them or close them. The union decides whether I'm eligible, not the employer. The employer does not own or manage either account.
  25. Impossible. The machine would have to be capable of independent thought.
