Yup...I don't make a penny for overtime, and I've worked maybe a couple 40 hour weeks since I started.

And I can 100% guarantee you that you make more money when you take a dump than I do in a week

 

[Bignate603]

I've got to hit 46 hours before I hit overtime and then it's just straight time, not time and a half. Of course they just cut that too and told us I'll only get around a 2% raise with no hope of promotion next year. If the economy doesn't do better next year I won't be getting anything then either. Sucks.

The best things in life are free, right?

I beg to differ.

you're living in the material world

my motto has always been, "money can't buy happiness... but it sure does help".

money can't buy happiness, but it can buy beer and beer makes me happy.

They would never ban oldsmoboat, he'd rise up and start a revolution against them/us and many lives would be lost.

43% of my total earnings this year were from overtime.

It will be interesting to see if the mods follow through on their word. I am going to guess that nothing is done.

That said, I hope olds doesnt get the ban again, those were a boring few days.

perhaps. olds is a grouch but he is not stupid so i gather he knows what he is doing and how he expects it to play out. question is how do othe rmembers take it?


anyway im off to bed. we had my birthday party and i have drank far to much and i am beat.

i suspect this thread will be deleted by morning. though could be wrong.

 

[venkman]

why hasn't the op been banned yet?

I suppose I could parody this to test your prediction, but I really don't want to be banned for another week.

we already had a mod post in here so nothing will be done. i don't want olds banned either, just interesting to see.

i wanted to make a parody thread about snorkeling after i saw the snorgling thread but decided against it because i knew i'd get banned again, maybe i should have.

I agree.
I just think its weird because of all the hoopla over the dollar amount thread, throwing all sorts of short term bans and threats of longer bans if done again....
Well it was done again...

Honestly, if I weren't drinking, I would laugh and have never replied.

op has some low bowling-ball sized balls

 

[JohnCU]

well it's been 12 hours, no ban or lock. and they say there's no preferential treatment.

Ban this fool already

I'm salaried, no OT. Y'know how many hours a week I work?

We got hit with 3 inches of snow last night. Y'know how much I got paid to shovel the driveway and sidewalks?

Some of you are perhaps wondering why the moderators aren't considering this to violate the rules. Read the OP of this thread again. Realize that Olds is being Olds & cleverly used a thread title similar to those that were locked last week. However, this thread, at least the OP, had substance to it. What Olds did here is quite a bit different than the nef fest last week that flooded the forum. Compare it to the following OP's which had similar thread titles that were locked a week ago:

$90.01... Is more than 9000 pennies

Priceless... Posting my life on ATOT

$13.37... The amount of money in my pocket

$1.99... Are you out of your mind? What year was it when the grand slam was so cheap?

1 2 3 5 8 13... I keep getting further and further away whilst going in a circular direction

$16.26... Filled up my tank

13.37¢ The economy is really screwing me up

281 330 8004... Who? (all the cool kids are doing it...)

8765309<sic>... Jenny

13.37... I am

$0.02... I'm giving mine to everyone.

0.9999999999999999999999999999999 . . . =$1discuss

$42 Gave it to a mod to smack a bitch up

Notice the difference. The above quotes were done for no reason other than to create more threads of the same type, all within minutes of each other. This current thread created by Olds isn't one of those types of threads. Although he did use a similar thread title. Or, perhaps he looked for a clever topic so that he could do this? I personally did not view this particular thread to violate:

5) Spamming will not be permitted... Multiple quick nef posts,... and flooding the Forums will not be tolerated.

That said, Olds has been around here for a long time. He knows the rules, knows when he's walking a fine line, and knows when he's crossed the line. He knew he crossed the line last time & accepted his vacation (and fwiw, served the full 7 days despite bsobel's offer to rescind the vacations 2 days early.) Not that this thread didn't raise a few of the moderator's eyebrows - it did. It probably falls under that "fine line" category. However, in evaluating which side of the line a thread is on, we will also consider the context (ex. are there a dozen other similar threads all made in the last 5 minutes), the poster's history, and try to take a guess at the poster's intent. My guess was that Olds wanted to make the post he did, but also wanted to yank our chains a little bit. We tolerate our chains being yanked a bit more from people we respect than from trolls.

Yep, now I know. No Pressure/Time was alleviated from me because of the You know Who mod (starts with a P). Not really fair I believe, in this instance!
