Forgot to put this here. So a couple of days ago latin singer Jenni Rivera died in a plane crash. One local newspaper reported on it, and also had a small info column on the side about other musicians which died in plane crashes. Of course, it included The Day the Music Died where they identified that Buddy Holly, Ritchie Valens and, I quote, "The Big Stopper" lost their lives. Ugh.
What's really weird about it is that we get them back in the following year, they're just shanking us while we transition to the Federal holiday calendar.
My company decided to steal 1.75 vacation days from us next year.
The latest contract took away our annual raises. No cost-of-living adjustments. If you're progressing through your pay grade, you'll still get steps. If you're at the job rate? 5 years of wage stagnation.

Hit a fething deer on the way back from the hobbit. A whole bunch of the guys from the office cant get one with a battalion's worth of firepower and I, one of the only non-hunters there, manage to clip Bambi's mom with my Saturn.

Well, in all fairness, your car has rockets in its heritage.

Goddamn unions killing our jobs.
Yeah, it's interesting that in this particular case, many more jobs would have been cut without the union. Without a single governing body, state workers would never have all agreed to this kind of pay cut on their own, and the state would have had no choice but to lay off a bunch of people because they couldn't pay them all.
When governments have X dollars, they can only pay so much money for employees. They can either lay off more people and pay the remaining employees more, or they can keep most of the employees and pay them all less. The union chose to compromise instead of taking a hard line.
(As opposed to Hostess, where the workers had already gone as low as they could and the company was still trying to lower their compensation. There comes a point where you cannot live on what they are trying to pay you, so you just flat out refuse to take the offer. That's the free market working to put insolvent companies out of business.)
I'm thinking real hard about selling all my serious business firearms. Suddenly tactical assault rifles with high capacity magazines seem a lot less cool. >_>

It's super messy, but works.
