Chicago: Become Familiar with its Distinctive Neighborhoods

(Oh, and speaking of Sopranos, maybe the Wrigleyville bar with HBO and $3 import/domestic taps would be up for screening The Wire in January.

yes plz ask

there is a woman here applying for a job who looks like julia, kinda

Nick, how are you feeling???

also if you ever want to see some hella outdated web sites, try finding procedure volume data by state on state health care association web sites

by outdated, i mean in terms of design. check out the site for the georgia hospital association

Where did my pic go?

Oh that's not it. Never mind.

Crossword #7.

For the record, I'm really unhappy with one of those clues, but I can't figure out how to fix it without changing like the whole bottom half of the puzzle.

I printed out two so Nick and I can have a proper xword match. BRING IT ON!

sweet

Is this website outdated? Or just frumpy? http://www.cpclerk.co.summit.oh.us/

http://www.cookcountycourt.org/

Which is worse: A, or B?

A

A but they're not that bad. I think I'd distrust a hip municipal website.

haha i am from summit county, OH.

anyway, have a wonderful xmas. i'll see you guys on the flippity flop.

This website creates images by mixing up we images based on the title you provide. This one is called "Haul my corpse home," and I like it b/c it fits the title, and looks like maybe a silhouette of a head that is washing ashore with some crap. The two images are what appears to be a filet of sole with side salad and an electric toothbrush awash in the surf.

OOps. This website: http://nag.iap.de/?lang=de

I made one with 'Christmas, cats, kissing' but it ended up being this disturbing image, featuring a huge PEPSI logo.

So... still no paycheck. And I'm not the only one, about 90% of the company didn't get paid. All we get from any higher ups is "its being looked into". WTF does that mean? "Being looked into" doesn't cover all the bills I mailed out yesterday.

that blows

between holidays coming up and no pay, i would imagine that little to no work is being done over there

How has the company fared this year? Are you expecting a bonus at some point? Either way, THAT IS HORRIBLE.

Oh yeah, forgot to mention... these paychecks were to include our year-end bonuses. Our boss gave us pay stubs on Friday that included our bonus amounts that should have been included with this deposit. So now we've got neither bonuses or regular pay. It really does blow. Thank god I got some Christmas money from the parents that will cover me for a little while, but I know some people are really hurting. Especially a week before Christmas.

:-( Sorry, Jon.

It is so quiet in my office!

Boss put it all up his nose. did you make it to the dmv?

Ha, yeah. Took just shy of an hour and a half at the end of the day.

Ha-, yeahhhh.... (dum dum dum dum dum dum dum)
Ha-, yeahhhh... (OH OH)

There is a legal limit to how long your employer can withhold pay. Can't remember how long, but will look into it.

Sarah, you can do multiple tries with the same words.

Did that work for you?
It's 'new love swimming.'

what's that called?

xpost - oh

Hmmm... apparently the bonuses held up the transaction at the processing bank. Supposedly getting deposited today. We'll see.

ouch

okay, i now know not to fall asleep listening to records, not with this record player anyway. i woke up this morning and thought there was some construction going on, but the needle was on the label of In a Silent Way. whoops!

I don't think I've ever gotten a Christmas bonus!

i've never gotten a christmas bonus either.

I used to have a Dystopia record that had a locked groove at the end, playing a loop of something sounding like your guy dying in an old Atari game but slowed down to be really sludgy.

My bonus is the following books:

The Last Imaginary Place - McGhee
Streets, Railroads, and the Great Strike of 1877 - Stowell
Chicago's Urban Nature - Chappell
A Naturalist's Guide to the Arctic - Pielou
Dawn in Arctic Alaska - Jenness

I did at my last job. It was equivalent to an extra paycheck IIRC. But also, that job was terrible and my paychecks were meager.

We don't get bonuses here, or at least not everyone does, but we tend to get decent presents from the owner.

man I love the email we get here

Dear @str0physic@| J0urn@|,
I wanted to clarify that I made a mathematical error in relation to the magnetic force equation. This equation would need a magnetic constant instead of a gravitational one. The changed distance exponent in that equation does not work mathematically. While I may have made some small philosophical errors, I can assure your journal that this theory will revolutionize our view of reality. I am extremely worried that certain things have been misunderstood and/ or that the scientific community is not taking me seriously. If there are revisions needed, any comments, or needed explanations please contact me. Thank you for considering my work.
Yours Truly,
XXXXXXXXXXXX

i got a bonus

my 'bonus' consisted of:

an ipod shuffle (with gift receipt yay)
a fancy chocolate bar
