As the dork who likes to complicate the lives of others, I have set up a blog for my sister so that she can tell you about new ways to use old toothpaste tubes. Now, I have no idea if she’ll even use it, but it’s located at http://recycleitall.blogspot.com. If she does, it will probably make you feel bad about your current level of recycling and make you say quaint things like, “What the fuck?”

Bloggers
As you know, the links on my sidebar are painfully outdated, and are in need of a desperate cleaning. I have removed two of the blogs that used to hang out there, as the good people that run them never, ever, ever update them. hopefully, I will comb the links in the near future. Be sure to hold your breath…

During one round of layoffs, a company that I know preferred to tell people that they were laid off by locking them out of the building. They later decided that the policy was regrettable, and went with the more common ‘walk out.” The walk out is not as shitty as the lock out, but it’s still a shit move. In the last month or so, one of my oldest friends and my Dad have fallen victim to corporate layoffs. Both have nearly insane work ethics.

A couple things that I have learned from observing my Dad:

1. Giving more to a company than they pay you for is a waste of your time.
2. No matter how many years that you have dedicated, how many weekends you’ve worked, how many hours you’ve logged in the air, or how much of your waking day has been spent earning it a profit, the corporation will cut you if it can save a buck fifty for softer toilet paper in the executive washroom.
