I'm trying to promote to a park maintenance assistant, you've got to be kidding, the orange suits get points. Even though they do a lot of good work they shouldn't get points to get hired on with Calfire because they were serving part of their sentence on a hand crew, after all they committed a crime and shouldn't be rewarded for serving their sentence.

I refuse to donate money to a so-called "non-profit" charity where the head honcho is making bank $$$ on it. The President of the United States only earns a salary of $400K to run and manage this country..so why should a charity CEO be making $300K.?? 3. Finally, ALS (Lou Gehrig's Disease) only affects about 30,000 people, or 2 in 100,000 (1 in 50,000). When compared to homelessness, poverty, cancer, etc, ALS is not a huge issue. Now I don't wish to diminish the disease, Im just saying its just a grain of rice compared to other. Ever see that episode of The Office where they are trying to raise money for the awareness of rabies? ? Anyway I'm sick of all these bucket challenges, and to any of you who have done it and donated money...good for you. Im sure the CEO will appreciate it when she gets her next paycheck.

That and the fact that people don't have infinite cash to donate to charities, so in a way it takes money away from other charities that could use it. And the fact that a small charity now has a way bigger amount of money to handle than they ever have before may present some issues.

Aww what the frig! Who does that crap! They should be tied up with audio cables from subs and pelted with tires as punishment... Hope you get your stuff back.

It's not a rant really but just a sad story.
My 4 month old Queensland heeler puppy fell out of my truck two nights ago. I can't find her body any where. I think she lived (my gf was only goin 45-50mph) and someone picked her up. I've put up flyers, friends have posted all over fb and I put a ad on craigslist. I miss my little buddy

I just landed a job at chick fil a and was told I need to meet with them friday to pick up my uniform, schedule and get more info. I confirmed with them twice that I would be available. My sister is moving to Memphis so me and my parents are helping her move, I was told for two weeks that we would be home Friday so I could meet with my employer. I brought it up and they told me that they decided to stay until Saturday. I tried arguing with them but they wouldn't budge (they said something about me respecting their schedules, funny). So now at 8:30 at night I have to text my employer and tell him I won't be there in the morning. And apparently I'm not allowed to be irritated about this.

id make a call instead of a text

A text that late would piss me off, a call would piss me off less.
