Mmmmmmmmn corporate living. *So *glad I work in a small office, so we’re able to just sidestep a lot of the bureaucracy that bogs down people in other locations.
At least it’s green and not brown.
I’ve run into this on two separate websites now, and I’m afraid it’s going to become common - when I cut and paste from a website, the paste includes some advertising crap that I have to delete. Even my cut and pastes have advertising now. Heavy, heavy sigh.
How does that happen? Is the ad there before you C&P? How are you doing the C&P?
I select the text, I hit control c, I come over here and hit control v, and when I paste, extra text full of advertising shows up (well, I’m using a PC keyboard on a Mac, so I have to use the option key instead of control, but it would be control if I was on a PC). Here’s an example -
The first sentence is what I selected; the second sentence is the bonus advertising. I have noticed that both times this happened, it was with some version of a National Post article (the other time was with the religious version of the National Post, if I remember correctly).
I’m just curious. Where do you work where you only get $12,000/yr? Federal Minimum wage is $7.25 which equates to around $15k/yr. Alabama min wage is also $7.25/hr. Even if you are an exempt employee shouldn’t tips get you over that amount? Is that part time work?
How much is that 15K after withholdings, though?
Fair point, but no one ever says I make $20k/yr but that is actually $16,722.24 after taxes.
I’m not trying to be mean or patronizing, I’m just surprised there are legal jobs in the US that pay that low. Perhaps I’m naive or just sheltered.
But as to Rex’s original point: I do agree, and have experienced, work situations where it just isn’t an option to call in sick.
Huh. I tried it twice and didn’t get anything extra either time, but then I’m using a Mac keyboard on a Mac. 
Hope this doesn’t suddenly start working for me too!
I swear some buyers on eBay are beyond stupid. I’m watching a P90X exercise video set and it’s up to $130 right now.
They sell new for $120.
And this isn’t the first that’s gone for so close to the mfg price that there was no point in getting it on eBay.
Meh. Not my money.
Don’t fucking try to panhandle me, you clearly well-fed and well-cared-for teenager. You’re wearing about $20 worth of tweaker plastic light-up jewelry crap you just bought from the party supply store, and you have the gall to beg me for “50cents to catch the bus home”? I fucking walked 2 miles to my 12 hour job shift this morning, and I’m just setting out to slug the 2 miles back again. If, like me, you’re too broke to have a car, why don’t you try walking off some of those Dorito’s you’re mainlining.
If you’re going to be completely shameless and lie for pocket change, at least pretend to look destitute. Asshole.
You may want to do a scan for spyware/adware on your computer. I wish I could recommend something, but I’m not familiar with Mac security apps (trying to resist giggling as I type that, sorry!)
Spyware? SPYWARE? Well, I do not want no stinkin’ spyware. I have contacted my mac geek to see what he says.
I pit the ad wherein our President says the most important job a man could have is to be a father. Yes, I get the idea but the freaking current President of the US saying this? I think he has a rather more important job right now. :eek:
I pit everyone who criticises our President over stupid shit, WHERE WERE YOU when the last president was taking many vacations and declaring war on the world?
And I thought the Blue Tribe was going to name the Blue Guy “Dances with Wolves”.
If they give Cameron an Oscar, I hope a drunken Kanye staggers onto stage and tells the audience that Costner made a better movie.
Is it a Daily Show video? I live in Japan and I can watch those videos online… I just double checked and yep, can still watch the entire back catalogue of the Daily Show. I actually really appreciate Comedy Central for that–they are one of the few networks that do allow their shows to be watched from this country, in my experience.
I’m on a Mac and I had the same thing happen when I tried to copy text from the National Post site in Safari. I disabled JavaScript temporarily and that stopped it. So the site has decided to be totally obnoxious and run a little JavaScript thing when you try to copy text. Boo!
I’m a student, and even working 6 days a week I can’t seem to get more than 33 hours/week. I work when it’s busy, go home when it’s slow.
I pit people who cannot read - I clearly said I was pitting the ad.
