Man we all know we live a sad life (non-financially) when that's the only bright spot...
...it's working, it's working
sigh, almost worked until I consider how much I'm just donating in taxes towards people I've never met before and probably don't even like :-(
when you watch more YouTube than actual TV
...or when your DVR has a month-long backlog of Entourage and Family Guy....
...the last time you cooked a meal at home was years ago
....when you ask yourself how to get back to your house???
...you have a psychosomatic stomachache at all times when you're not in the building because someone might walk by your desk and see that you're not there.
Even at 4 AM.

When you can't tell the difference between fired and laid off. (it doesn't matter: you're out of a job either way)
Seriously what is the difference between getting fired and getting laid off?
laid off=the firm doesn't need you anymore or your position was eliminated
u are so dumb i'm beginning to cringe when i see ur little avator even before i've read the post
Holy dog shit.
Fired = having lost your job (for whatever reason, doesn't mean you "fucked up bad")
Laid off = Dismiss, usually for economic reasons (can't afford to keep you here)
Oh, and a few others:
you complain about your hourly pay..constantly..
you think all Admin/BA are utterly incompetant
