    Good start for the Celtics. Tatum is playing like a monster. Team is 50% from the three point line and up by 13!!!!

    Three more agonizing quarters to go!!!

    My son's new job at Dollar General Distribution doesn't seem like it's going to work out.

    He's a manager but the guys over him have totally unrealistic demands about his employees getting work done.

    They want him to have them unload something like 50 trailers when it's only possible for them to do about 30.

    WTF?

    He's on salary and they started him out with 14 hour days.

    It sucks.

    He told his wife to go ahead and put the whole family on her insurance because he doesn't think he can stay under these conditions.

    He's trying but playing it by ear.

    He is excellent.

    I really hate that they are fucking him like they are.

    He had an awesome career with Toys R Us.

    With the hours he was working at Toys R Us, he was making like $26 an hour.

    The Dollar General job would pay him $4,000 more per year but the hours he is having to put in make it to where he is making only like $16 an hour.

    He says he might ask them if he can just drive a fork lift for $15 an hour. It's bad.

    He really doesn't even like the forklifts at Dollar General.

    At Toys they had turrets where you rode to the top of the stack. Here, at DG, you only raise the forks and have to drop the whole pallet. He said the turret driver that came over from Toys with him told DG that he wasn't really comfortable dropping a whole pallet of jarred pickles that distance.

    I can't remember if it was that guy, or another guy that also came over from Toys...One of my son's buddy's has already quit DG. My son said he was in tears when he turned in his badge.

    Dollar General is shitting on all of the employees that they waited on and brought over from Toys R Us.

    HUGE win by the Celtics tonight!!!

    Plus, Ovechkin finally gets his shot. Torn on that one. Would love to see Ovie finally get the Cup, but...man Vegas can make history: an expansion team winning the championship in their innaugrual season. Has that ever happened in the history of sports?

    Ever?

    Yeah great win 96-83

    The Cavs looked pedestrian tonight.

    I don’t care how good LeBron James is he just can’t do it alone.

    I have a slice on my finger stupid razor cutter. Just taped it all up, she'll be aight. That was a long and dull and boring night and morning. But it was fun because I got to take my miss to work with me and she got to count things which made her happy for some reason. That's our stint done though.

    Can't sleep... Gotta be up for work in three hours. Too much on my mind, none of it good. Sometimes wonder what the point is.

    Once it comes down to a few hours before work and you're still awake I think it's a mistake to even try and sleep because it'll just make you feel worse. I just did 16hrs worth of work and I'm home now, sorry. :p have a good coffee!

    The idea is to work until the age of 75 at which time you can live off your pension and your monthly Social Security check, while enduring regular prostate exams,
    memory and vision loss, back and knee pain, followed by the humiliation of wetting your pants in public and drooling all over your grandchildren
