My office cafeteria makes us pay for ice :frown: (even if we use our own cup) :frown:

I would find a new job, raquetcat. Your job sounds like hell.

They just revised the cell phone policy to not allow people to listen to talk radio on their phones, you can still listen to music, but no talk radio :frown:

Are you not allowed to wear headphones? How would they even enforce that policy?

Yeah, I'm pretty sure that is actually a nazi russia third world problem.

Raquetcat, do you sit close to your supervisor? If so, I would just start playing elevator music at my desk all day every day.

Close, it's Topeka.

You can wear headphones, that's why the policy makes no sense. I guess listening to rush or Dave Ramsey uses your brain more than listening to music :dunno:

Luckily they didn't ban bbsing on your phone or I'd be screwed

Just realized my debit card expiered on 04/30/2013 and got a call from my gym as they said (paraphrased) "Where's the money Lebowski?"

In addition, my house had a temp of 80 degrees last night and I was too cheap to turn on the air. 

I've got 99 problems but a blump ain't one (in the most Caucasian voice possible).

I can't even remember the last time I used cash to pay for something.

My boss is cool and doesn't care what we do as long as the work gets done, it was just some corporate HR policy

I went to the DMV at lunch today to get my DL changed to my new address and those fucks don't take debit/CC payment for DL renewals.  You can pay all other bills there with cc/debit, but just not DL renewals.

WHAT!

This exact same thing happened to me the last time I tried to renew my license. I waited in line for almost an hour, then was told they couldn't accept credit/debit. I asked if they could just give me the next spot when I got back from the ATM machine, as I had already waited an hour. Nope.  :flush:

Seems like a Kansas problem. Much like when you go get a new license and they give you a piece of paper and mail you your new license in about 3 months.   :lol:

I don't even have my debit card pin number that would allow me to use my ATM.  I haven't used an ATM since Bush was in office.  I mean this is freaking 2013 and the DMV isn't some undocumented laborer fixing my gutters. 

I am just going to never renew my DL and if I ever get caught, I am going to take the day off work, go to court, and put the whole god damn system on trial!
