I might be losing my job. On the one hand it sucks, because I love what I do, but it wasn't going to get any better, obviously it's getting worse because they're outsourcing several editions of my newspaper to a new company they founded just to keep lowballing us on our wages. And I'm sort of getting tired of coping with that shit. Might just be I try to pry some sort of farewell money out of their hands and be done with that shite. Bunch of money-sucking asshats.

Sorry bud
I'm putting all the money I've made on selling my pedals toward paying off my credit card and it sucks. My workplace put a freeze on annual raises right after I started working there over a year and a half ago and have yet to kick them back in. My girlfriend and I realized we probably can't afford our vacation to Vermont this summer. I'm doing a bunch of annual performance evaluation work and it's hard to get motivated to do it since it's not leading to improved pay right now.
You were going to VT. and now you're not.

And something just bit my butt while I was on the toilet and now my butt cheek is itchy and numb. Not a great day.

Overall I like my new job, but...
My project manger keeps changing my work without telling me. Maybe he didn't notice that the firm is paying
ME to be the designer.

DUDE, that's not a problem. Ebay sends their overseas stuff to a place in kentucky to get sorted and send overseas.

Ok.....strange. Cus when I punch the tracking into USPS it says "delivered" and that's it.
What the fuck is up with this new eBay shipping thing anyway? I've heard some awful shit about it and this is the first time I've had a seller that used it.
It seems more expensive for the same outcome?

I send stuff like this a bit, so this is my perspective.
Ebay just randomly signed me up for it, I cannot turn it off, so I now have to comply. I never get your address, I get some random spot in kentucky to send to (Even if the buyer lives in Canada). Ebay gets a nice little extra bit of change for using this shipping method, so sellers pretty much don't get to send directly to you anymore.
Basically, ebay is greedy and wants more of your money.
