And it’s such a ridiculous deal. 40% on an ongoing basis? Other than the initial setup there can’t be that much maintenance, and it’s something the roads department could do.

I work in an industry that makes stuff. I won’t doubt that there is plenty of this in finance or some others. But the board is paying the CEO to do work. (Yeah, a lot of that is schmoozing.)

Starred for username.

I work in health care. Yeah, that sounds like insurance to us. :)

It’s definitely dependent on the company. My CEO sends 3am emails with “Hey, I just thought of this...” Though she’s also the founder.

Yeah, average CEO work week has been estimated at 55-60 hours a week. I hang out in that area but not each week.

I promise to do this sparingly, but your comment begs me to point out that if only white women (all sexual orientations) had voted, our president would be Trump.

I was referring to the commenters, not the bloggers.

You’ll notice that a huge chunk of the Gizmodo- and Jalopnik-sourced whiners post at times when most other people are at work. I have a much better time on those sites when getting into or out of bed.

I think everyone here would be fine with what you describe in the first paragraph. Hell, build it into every government intranet site.

And that’s why I’m too cynical to be a parent. I’d want credit for all the cool shit and use Santa’s bummer gifts as a way of weaning the kid off of caring about Santa.

Socks and underwear. On a naughty day, one of those weird popcorn tins.

Hey, I go until I run clear.

I think it’s more that placekickers will be able to get good at going out at the 5 or 10, instead, with too much air for anyone to go up and get it.

Yes. I was thinking the exact same thing.

Yeah, one. Racist cop said something shitty to my friend at like 3am as things were winding down. This turned into the world’s lamest brawl imaginable, despite being fought between (off-duty, shitty) cops and mostly active Army. Bride crying loudly the entire time.

Maybe the good gifts were from the parents and Santa just sends the wholesome stuff.

Lean over. It’s a game changer.

I’d have renewed respect for her if it turned out she was super into Farmville.

I mean, drop the “cuck” and that’s me. What is this even for? And if it’s for something good, what the fuck are THEY there for?
