It's okay. I suppose you don't do nuance. I'll pass on the turkey voucher, by the way. Perhaps I'll send you mine. I'm sure you have stockpiled quite a collection over the years. It must be that gravy train that keeps you here.
I guess 0 new hires was slight hyperbole. But thankfully I have a business and can drop down to 19-21 days off per month every month in the ILIW. Add a sick call or two and I actually owe them money for benefits and such. But the health insurance and travel benefits are useful for myself and family. In all reality it’s just not worth coming in for this paltry wage. I don’t know how people live on it in a metropolitan domicile.
