  1. Perspective? on Pay vs. Happiness · · Score: 1

    Two months ago I quit my job as a Maintenance Tech in a local plastic factory. I was making $11.25 an hour because I didn't have the piece of paper that said I could effectively do my job. I pointed out that I did my job better than those Techs who had the afore mentioned piece of paper and were paid $16.50 an hour. I told them I wanted a raise or they had my two weeks notice. The following Monday they said I could leave right then and there. Now (two months later) I finally landed a new (temp) job at the plainer mill putting wooden shims in a cardboard box ten hours a day for $8.00 an hour. I'm not really sure where I'm going with this, other than perhaps to lend a bit of perspective on job satisfaction, and maybe make a few people feel a little better about the situations they find themselves in.

    105 pounds at probably 12-15 mph. And yes took the majority of the impact, in the dirt and rocks on the side of the trail. And I wouldn't say "broke" the corner, more like smooshed really. Sorry this upsets you so much. It may help to punch a pillow or something. Thanks!

    I bought a Mini for my girlfriend about a year ago. She beats the hell out of it (Once she crashed while rollerblading and the Mini took the brunt of the impact/skidding. Still worked even though the top right corner was all smashed in) and while it looks pretty beat up it's display is still quite readable, not to mention it still works fine.

    Perhaps Disney would give you some of their leftover black powder pyrotechnics and you could take care of that upper balcony.
