Fixed.

Well, if someone places an internet site over their job, then yes, I consider their priorities a form of idiocy.

What if you hate your job? What if you are just waiting for that one last straw to throw you over the edge so you can quit?

The entitlement attitudes of today's youth just astounds me.

Someone who can go get another job that lets them do what they wanted to?

Everyone needs to stop using the phrase "entitlement attitude". It's annoying.

Well if someone's just looking for a reason to quit, then I guess one reason's as good as another. But I still wouldn't leave before another job was lined up.

The Internet is serious business, didn't the über-moderator tell you that?

I get paid strictly on a commission basis. What I do while I'm in the office is strictly my business.

If Anandtech was going to deposit a paycheck into my checking account every two weeks I would consider it, otherwise I'd be a fucking fool to do so.
