The company I work for started bitching about that I got an hour less than I'm supposed to work in June, but they ignored the fact that I worked more than 12 hours overtime the month before that.
And that's when I started doing exactly 8 hours a day. On the other hand, the company I worked before previously didn't mind at all when I left earlier sometimes: they were very satisfied with my work. Before I left I calculated that I had about 32 hours of overtime after a year of work (ok, not a lot, but still). I know that won't happen when my contract ends with the other company:)
Not necessarily true. I've come to a point where it doesn't matter that I use a keyboard or a xbox controller. It's all a matter of getting used to the input device I think.
The problem is that, nowadays, when you actively punch/kick a bully you are in fault. I recall an episode in my high school where I kicked a bully around (not hard,but still enough for him to feel it). Somebody saw that and reported it. Result: i get reprimanded because I used violence, even after a lengthy explanation on my part. Especially when nobody is there to back up your statement, it is very difficult to prove that you are bullied (especially if all his friends said you "overreacted" to a "one-time friendly tease")
So, my advice: first report the bullying and make sure more than one person hears the complaints. If the bullying continues, you have at least "proof" that you were bullied.

Just because it's popular doesn't mean it's bad. It's just easier to make snide remarks about it and score positive karma.
Please note that I don't say it's not justified.
Not to mention that you need to be present at the conference to claim your prize. Otherwise you just get a certificate.
What, not everyone uses a computer the same way? I'm shocked & appalled I tell you!

You mean the music the "unwashed masses" want/get because they don't know better?
