  1. “in yesterday’s OT some idiot asked the stupidest question that led to it”

    Speaking of which, there’s a show on National Geographic Channel (Monday I think – I’ll post the link in OT After Hours) that will answer all of the idiot’s questions. Humans will be portraying the “swimmers” and demonstrating the journey they must travel to do their business. All I’m sayin in a post from work.

  2. Thanks Arkady. when I actually get my ass up and buy the planters and install them, I might need your help with what to actually plant and how to upkeep it. I’ll trade you your knowledge for another trip to the Russian market :o).

    I used to work 12 hour days regularly. Thank god those days are behind me. Who knows though, I might go back to that anyday.

  3. denton, I bought C options on Monday. Next round is on me.

    So you respect the GS management but not the C management??? Our firm was sold to BAC and I have virtually no respect for anyone there.

  4. “i dont know a single person, and have never known a single person, to have to work 12 hour days (at ONE job). that’s just absurd and should be illegal anyway.”

    Rob, try it, maybe you’d get a raise!

    For non-managerial staff, it’s not illegal to work more than 8 hours, but it’s supposed to be compensated at 1.5 times regular pay.

  5. “i dont know a single person, and have never known a single person, to have to work 12 hour days (at ONE job). that’s just absurd and should be illegal anyway.”

    Are you kidding me? I used to do that for several jobs I’ve had. Sometimes MORE.

    And those were salary jobs. No overtime. PUH-LEASE Rob, lots of people do this ALL THE TIME. WAKE UP!
