Over at Bam! Kapow! today they had a link to the Bendis board where they reveal who the character Penance is in the revamped Thunderbolts. He is Speedball..... what a stupid idea. Evidently his powers only trigger when he is in pain now. I am so glad in some ways I am not running the comic shop right now. My "Comic Curmudgeon" side would be out way ( Read more... )

Does anyone else find it annoying that HotJobs, Monster.com, etc all have "jobs" posted by the Army, Air Force, et al?

In a close second is all the sales jobs. Yeah sure I want to drive my own car, generate my own leads, and work on commission.

I wanted to rant about this myself but she does a much better job than could. Ann & I have grown tired of many of her co-workers thinking were are some sort of freaks. All because we dont have kids. Not everyone feels they need to have children to fulfill their lives!

Guess what? I get to work X-mas Eve and a part of X-mas Day! And its a two hour drive from home to boot! Doing parking lot patrol at a Wal-mart up in Midland! Dosent that sound exciting? I thought so as well! So depending on when I leave my regular gig at Comcast I will either be working until 6 A.M. on X-mas and then have to be back in Midland at ( Read more... )

For the last several years I havent had a commute of any sort. Drive time from house to work was about ten minutes. Now driving back and forth is about 35 - 40 minutes. I know it isnt much compared to a lot of folk, but it takes time ( Read more... )

OK I have only been working the damn security guard job for about two months now and I am having dreams about working there. OY!!!!!!!!

I dont remember much of the dreams except that I am there working way too much overtime. ARGHHHHH!

Now off to the empty factory....

"Due to a massive price increase at our printers, we are forced to increase the cover price of Knights of the Dinner Table magazine from $3.99 to $4.99 in November 2005 (Issue #109). We've tried to keep a lid on increased pricing for KoDT for some time now, but this latest event really forced our hand. Upon review of the closest ( Read more... )
