Going to to the Henry Rollins / Damien Echols conversation in NYC tonight...hope i don't get stuck in city because of the weather!
I have the Henry Rollins Rise Above cd that raised money for DNA research, my Pearl Jam disc for (Army Reserve lyric page) and my WM3 Boston shirt (Love the rising Phoenix). Damien will sign his book and maybe one other thing...
Wow, I can't believe he is finally free. I have followed his story for years, We even threw a Benefit to raise money in the UK. So surreal to read that you'll see him later. Amazing stuff.
Although I love my WM3 shirt, if he signs it I will probably not wear it again. If I can get get Henry to sign his disc then I'll go that way, but I think I would like the Army Reserve lyric page signed Now I need a silver ink pen so it will show up on a black page.
Thank you fellow 10 clubber for saving my ass....again!!!

don't ask a question if you know you won't like the answer
I'm so pissed right now...we just had some layoffs at work and two of the best employees my company had were let go. :evil: :evil:
why do they always let the good ones go? :(
(oh yeah, it's because the new crappy workers get paid less :roll: )

i've been inside alot of planning meetings related to layoffs....and pay is very rarely brought up. it's been my expierinece that they try to keep the best employee's, but sometimes due to circumstances it doesn't work out.
obviously, my expiernce doesn't represent everyones.

Thanks. It really does seem to be going around right now. Damn it, this sucks...not only are they really freakin' great at their jobs, they are nice, and easy to work with.

I dunno, seems like they take forever to get rid of some people that *need* to be fired (i.e. stealing, turning in false time cards, lying, never pulling their weight). Then, they are quick to get rid of the best ones. (those cases were offices filled with women, and they are vicious! they got rid of people just because they don't like them)

being liked/popular defiantly helps you stick around....when it comes down to a group of 3 people that all do the same job, it's a lot easier to get rid of the person you don't like, assuming performce is generally equal.

they don't like my sense of humor...I gotta fix that.
"work humor"
vs
"*real* humor"
