Seriously – she was in “Speed” nuff said
i loved the movie precious, but the main character (youre talking about the daughter right, not mo?) anyway, there are hardly any other roles she can play being that size (i HATE saying that btw and dont necessarily think it’s true perse..) anyway, she didnt actually do much acting in that movie besides the crying scene at the end which still wasnt all that oscar-worthy. however, sandra bullock? gack. she’s the schlockiest actress out there these days!

Going for a threesome!

I hate that ‘paying your dues’ bull. If you have talent,you have talent!

Rob, try it, maybe you’d get a raise!
actually i used to work 9 hours a day, but because we are hourly paid, we were told not to work more than 8 hours a day because of cut backs and the recession.

“And I can’t believe Sandra Bullock won Best Actress and not the woman from ‘Precious’.”
SHe hasn’t paid her dues yet.
Sorry Rob, but most people on salaried jobs work well over a 40 hr week. It’s expected. Small companies take it for granted, at least all of the ones I’ve worked for. They don’t expect you to take an hour for lunch either. Run out and get something to eat at your desk, or eat your bagged lunch while still answering phones or doing something else. I’ve had employers resent bathroom time, which is totally illegal for any employer. We were expected to come in, or stay late for evening or weekend media/publicity events, and we were expected to work, too. Our hourly workers had it better in that respect, but I was making twice what they were, and even that was under what most people make in the industry for the same job description.
That said, I work harder for myself than I ever did for any employer, and when I’ve had to, have put in 18 hour days in order to get projects done. You do what you gotta do.
Being a nanny is NOT an easy job. Many employers do not know how to talk to, or deal with “staff” as human beings, and think nothing of having them do things they can’t do themselves when left alone with their kids, like expecting the nanny to clean the entire house when the kid is asleep.
Donatella, I know, and I can’t blame them for not wanted to be counted, so hopefully, correct information gets out, because things like emergency medical care in hospitals and school class size will affect them and their communities the hardest, especially when there is less of it.
