Same. Every so often we get offered OT to work a few hours on Saturday or Sunday, and the union would burst a gasket if someone was asked to work 80.1 hours a pay period without going through like 10 different approvals first. Then again, my union has prevented me from training for a promotion because "You don't get paid to do supervisor work, so you don't do supervisor work." How am I supposed to demonstrate that I can replace my boss if they won't let me even when he asks me to? Unions, man. Great at keeping me at a 9-5 with zero chance of being fired, bad at getting rid of crap employees which ultimately makes everyone's job harder.

Anyway, have a pukin' president.

Bull fighting is too serious, these guys need to lighten up and learn to laugh once and a while. If I lost an eye to a bull and then got gored in the same socket later, you better believe the eyepatch would have a bull's eye on it. It isn't every day the universe gives you a soft-pitch to Chuckleville like that.

quick reminder at what ekuNNN and FogHelmut are defending:

We recently started a weekend over night shift where all you have to duo is answer one call and watch Netflix.

First moron they put on the job kept calling off every Saturday and loudly bragging "they're not gonna fire me!" She got fired.

Second idiot they put on the job got fired two days later when she uploaded snapchat after snapchat of the 8 people she invited in the office to party during the overnight shift.

HOW COULD PEOPLE GET FIRED FOR THIS???

I'm not defending not doing your job. I'm saying the existence of that job is an affront to civilized society and only exists to exploit the desperate.

If it only requires 1 person/Saturday night, that means the staff are doing that shift on a rotation meaning each person probably only has to do it once a month, not counting if people are willing to trade with them if being at work one Saturday night a month is insurmountable. My mom has to work a weekend a month, but the flip side is she only has to work alternating 2 and 3 day workweeks but makes what most people make working full time at her job. Having Mon-Fri off every other week isn't exactly slavery.

I used to have a job where I worked every other Saturday with a day off during the week, and it was dumb as hell. It's nearly impossible to live a normal social life when your schedule is so disjointed from the rest of the world.

Old people are calling themselves millennials so they don't have to feel old

When I was 13, in 1999, my mom read read an article in Newsweek or Time or something and told me "Oh, look, your generation is called millennials, because you will be coming of age in the new millennium." (looked it up to see if I was remembering wrong, and apparently the term was coined in 1987)

I'm too old and set in my ways to stop being a millennial now.

The actual problem with working weekends is that it's the first step towards a company not replacing people as they quit until they have about 1/2 the number of employees actually needed and then making everyone left work 84 hour weeks.

A true renaissance man


I was born in 1981 and every two years, like clockwork, I am reassigned to a newly-designated generation. Off the top of my head I have been told that I am Gen X, Gen Y, Millenial, "The Internet Generation," and a bunch of others that just go in oue ear and out the other. Basically these labels are bullshit and not descriptive in any useful way.

The only significant generational marker I have found that may actually separate "millenials" from the X/Y older group, at least in the West, is exposure to Pokemon as a kid/teen. I don't know a goddamn thing about Pokemon. I don't care about it, and I don't get it. It didn't exist when I was anywhere near its original target demographic. I don't even really care that you know that I don't care about it. I only bring it up because there are people who are only 2-3 years younger than me who insist that Pokemon was literally everywhere when they were growing up, and even if they didn't themselves have any interest, it was unavoidable in that way of really big trends.

I'm your age, started college in 1999, and my friends were all about the loving Pokemon. Like, 20-year old dudes. It was sad then and it's sad now
