OMG, St. Ignatius is playing Sacred Heart Cathedral in prep football across the street at Kezar Stadium and it sounds like the Christians have been thrown to the lions.
You guys had a riot? On account of me? A real riot?

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?

Oy. Glad there were no actual tornados. One of our sys admins called in to ask how things were going on at our corporate office. I told him I had no clue, since I wasn't there, but considering I was still RDPed into a PC down there and accessing several servers, it was a pretty safe bet the building was still in one piece.
ION, straw, camel, broken back, get me the fuck out of this place. I got my paycheck today. They dropped my payrate to the exact amount needed to where working 45 hours a week, with overtime, equals what I was getting paid weekly in salary for 40 hours of work. I called my boss to express my outrage and he informed me the CIO has stated he feels 45 hours of work is standard for IT.
I am pissed beyond all reason.

He can feel anything he likes, but unless you're classified exempt, the Federal government says differently.

I'm technically getting paid overtime. They just futzed with the numbers so that despite me working 45 hours a week, five of them considered overtime, I get paid exactly the same as I was getting as a 40-hour a week salary employee.
ETA: To clarify, my hourly pay rate got dropped almost $3 an hour. So I work more hours, on a shittier shift, for the same amount of pay I was making before they switched me to hourly.

They lowered your hourly rate without telling you first. They suck considerable amounts of hairy stinky ass. Keep those resumes going out, they do not deserve you or anyone else working for them.

Fuck. Had I read this earlier....
Also? I cannot see how you could manage to restrain yourself. The good news? If it doesn't fit for whatever reason., there are tons of kids who'd appreciate it ( I just recently found stuff I'd bought for D and misplaced and forgotten. But my friend T is having a boy around D's b-day, so he can use them! I got both the thrill of buying and when I forgot, thrill of giving.) And it makes you feel good. That counts for a lot. Also? Go to a bookstore and indulge in Eric Carle. My mom's suggestion, for starters.
