In the late 90's I had a few days to see what Microsoft was doing to their “perma-temp” employees. In the group I was with, several of the guys were bragging about their 100hr weekly timesheets.  Yes, I’m serious. 14-16 hour days were the norm for this group, with no days off.  I ran as fast and far away from that…

Unless it’s a Tarantino film, then it’s definitely “Double Foot Fault”.

Abyssinia, Annie.

The line to use when swinging those tire irons & baseball bats is, “Those who refuse to be bound by the law also refuse its protections.”

OK, sure. And when they fail to give you that refund, who do you contact to force them to fork over the money? The FAA?  Why wouldn’t the airlines just drag this out for months, so they can play with your money in the meantime?

Can someone explain the calendar on this?

It’s almost like being a lawyer for a client that can’t help but tell lies every time they speak. You can’t let your client give a deposition, and you can’t make any statements for them that won’t immediately be undercut by one of those inevitable lies. It should be no surprise that such a person ends up with a terribl…

In case anyone was wondering why Italy has been a basketcase for 150+ years, this is example 1,345,887.

What is often forgotten in this conversation is a fundamental difference between unions in the USA vs. those in Europe. American unions have to negotiate for things like pensions and health care insurance funding, whereas European unions do not.  Those items are huge line items in any employment contract.  Not…

Who would have thought that in an age of rising retail theft by organized crime rings, automated retail might face some serious challenges?  What gated community did these people live in?

I bought a 4 quart variety recently, because they were out of the 1 gallon size.

I’m confused by the concept of an actor returning to a movie production to do reshoots and he doesn’t think it’s a big deal that his hair looks totally different than it did in any of the previously shot scenes.  Continuity? 

Phil Condit was an engineer.  He was also a scumbag who had no business being a CEO.  Be careful what you wish for, as you might get a CEO from Wish.com .

Looks like Nick Hogan may have finally found his soul (cell) amte.

Funny how this is exactly what the cable honchos were saying 2 decades ago when they were hauled before a congressional committee about “de-bundling” channels to allow customers ala carte cable packages. Of course, everyone said they were lying sacks of shit, which, on the whole, is true. However, in this instance…

I have to admit I am unfamiliar with these new Chinese EVs. How well can 3 Americans totaling 800+lbs. fit in one of them? If they can fit, what does that do to the car’s range? Perhaps there is an unvoiced reason why these cars may not be as successful in the US as some are predicting?

Shoot, a Model T could have tackled this 100 years ago.

If a line worker didn’t tighten your balljoints, line dancing certainly will!
