Buttons for Buffistas! Snarky McF*ckButtons - Wear What You’re *Really* Thinking

My fave is "stop practicing radical entitlement" or maybe "there's always room for bacon".

anything that looked like personal mail or that gave no clue of its contents would arrive late with signs of having been opened.

I had that happen a lot at my old neighborhood (Wicker Park).

Last night on the news they reported a couple of cities where they are switching their civil servants to the 4-day work week (not just for summer) to money. I searched on google news and found a bunch of stories of different communities doing the same thing.

We start 4 10-hour days next week. I'm still the only employee who's not thrilled about it, because I don't want to get up earlier and I don't like having my evenings truncated.

But I keep trying to think of it as an opportunity to get extra rest on the 3-day weekends. Assuming I survive to the weekends.

Monday is when we start it. (My "shift" is 8:15-6:15. We are allowed to work 10 hours between 7 a.m. and 7 p.m., and I'm surprised at how many of my co-workers are choosing to work 7-5. Jesus.)

t edit What I resent is that, unlike other places that are doing the 4-day 10-hour thing, we aren't being given an *option* (for instance, some businesses will be open all 5 days, and then employees can do the 4-day thing if they choose, or they can continue the 5-day week) -- we were simply told that the entire company is doing this, no option. Our only "option" was what 10-hour shift we wanted to work.

Huh. I wouldn't have expected your boss to be that flexible about when people actually work their hours, Teppy.

Which is cooler? The Buzzball, A Motorized Hampster Ball For Humans or Cola Flavored Vladimir Lenin Head Pops?

I never had my taxes taken out of my unemployement because I always considered it an arts grant and took the full amount and usually six months off. So my income went down and I didn't owe anything.

Heh. That SO would not fly in my state.

They will SO TOTALLY AUDIT YOU at the drop of a hat.

Someone actually reads the paper edition of The Observer?

I'm amused at the number of those buttons that have to do with bacon. Seriously.

Though I think you all know why I want a "what the fuck is wrong with you people?" button, and when i want to be wearing it.

Our only "option" was what 10-hour shift we wanted to work.

That... sucks. And what if you were a person who already finds it difficult to work an 8-hour day?

no one is allowed to flush any of the heads when someone is in the shower.

Hell, that describes every house I lived in on land until I was in my teens.
