Whoever made up the phrase "Hard work pays off" is an idiot. I'll explain why. In this blog I will also show you how to; Determine whether or not you have a dead end job, and how to move up in the world almost effortlessly.
This is Rob's story. The company Rob works for took a huge hit 2 years ago when their main supplier closed shop and moved production to Mexico and the US. They had to let go of the majority of their warehouse staff, going from 3 shifts to 3 people. Rob was one of the lucky 3. Well, I wouldn't call it luck, because he is the most senior employee of the bunch at 13 years of hard work. He hasn't received any annual raises since then, but he still felt pretty fortunate to be working. Up until last week that is.
Rob's supervisor, who is a very smart man, found another job (that's why he's smart) and recently put in his 2 weeks notice. After Rob found out he went to the manager and made an inquiry, asking to be considered for the job. They said they would ... Read more ...

So I was trying to be a model Ebaum's citizen (I don't actually live here, I just happen to have some vacation property here) by flagging the nearly full page of Vietnam tour ads, that have been up for more than 7 hours now. But nooooo! Apparently some of them have been flagged "too many times" and I've been instructed to "stop trolling".
First of all, fuck you! If it's been flagged too many times, or I've been flagging too many blogs, that only goes to show how, well, negligent the mods have been when it comes to advertisements.
Second of all, I'm trolling? Is that how I'm thanked for my contribution to the cleaning process? Better yet, is that the new way of dealing with the actual trolls who flag perfectly good blogs out of childish spite? I imagine there was some sort of meeting and discussion involved in that decision. "Ok, so how are we supposed to deal with Neko and her 50-something accounts?"
"Uh, did you call her a t ... Read more ...

My day sucks so bad, I can't even end it properly.... can't sleep!
So I'm bored, trying to wind down a bit before I try to go to sleep again. Here's a riddle I thought up... see if you can figure it out.
You can take as many as you want of me
You can make as many as you want of me
But you can only have one of me
What am I?

A long long time ago before any of us were born, we used to have this theory of this all-powerful entity that gave us life, nourishment and salvation. We called this thing God, and we used to believe that if this God (or Gods) did not provide us with what we needed, it was because we angered them in some way, and we would even kill off some of our own kind in the hopes that this sacrifice would show our devotion and respect.
Whatever happened to that? Not the killing our own kind part, but the part where we felt a sense of responsibility and guilt for our actions, even in situations where we weren't at fault. We recognized, no respected, a power above our own. We didn't call the shots, and we knew it.
We are a selfish creature now. We curse Mother Nature's wrath when we have to drive in snow to work, or when it rains during our vacations. It's too cold in the winter, too hot in the summer. Bugs are creepy, and any animal we cannot eat, or don't enjoy spectating is a ... Read more ...

Don't ever let anyone tell you you're worthless. Not only is it not a very nice thing to think about yourself, it's just not true. You and I are being sold right now, as you read this. Well our information is anyway.
What was once and still is associated to identity fraud and an utter violation of privacy is happening on a North American wide scale to every single person with either a phone number, email, or home address. Since there isn't much anyone can really do about it, this blog is less advice, and more rant than anything.
Every time a telemarketer calls my house, or I get junk mail addressed to me personally, I get pissed. It angers me because I don't know where that company got my contact information, and I'm likely to never find out. The other day I got some mail from Easy Home (a home furniture and appliance rental company) addressed to my full name and address. Personally, I've never stepped foot in a Easy Home outlet let alone gave anyone from that company my info ... Read more ...
