Because we're only 3 employees we can afford to pay for the really top shelf stuff.

But ya, my company is **** because you say so.

Birds of a feather in fact. I have a suggestion for you both since everything sucks so badly for you.

I’m down with the suicide jokes homie

In most ways we're doing better today than 4 years ago.

Whoa is you.

It's amazing that if the company was a person you'd blame everything under the sun for their failure. When's the last time you considered how shit the people are?

DWV: Please clarify what you mean by that post. It's not clear to me.

Just rehashing the same **** I say every time elph and OH start in. Your company is "shit" because it failed/downsized/ran into hard times, but when any person in the US fails they blame everything but that person's choices. Curious when they're going to lose their bias and consider people who fail as shit...

You live in a prison and don’t even realize it. We also live in a prison but we can imagine a world that isn’t a prison. You’re blind and you laugh at those who can see.

I'm well aware... but that is the reality I have to face. So I find myself with 2 choices:

Find happiness with what I'm given and/or work to change the problems I see with the world. I approach this dilemma with a mix of the two. You bitch and wither away. I'll take my prison over your pathetic existence any day.

"Be the change that you want to see" - Gandhi.. nothing else you can do.

No, you can’t see the prison.
