I am so mad! The last two years I've been at my job and cashed out my vacation pay, I had the right hours and right pay but, this time I got screwed over! Seems the corporate office of the agency I work for messed up the vacation and sick pay for pay offs and I received less then a third of the hours I'd put in, giving me less pay! Get this, it was done to all the employees for this agency and it'll take a while for the big bosses to clear out the mess before we all get our pay outs. It ticks me off to where if I had back teeth, I'd chew nails! I just had to vent. What's worse is as soon as I do, Uncle Sam will be there for his hand out and take a big chunk of it. We, the little people work our butts off and it seems the more ya make, the more they take. With everything in the economy going up, including gasoline, it's hard to live. I know there's people out there that know what I'm talking about. I don't take sick leave or vacation time. I can't. So, I cash 'em out at the end of the year and I know I have a crap load of hours put it. Usually, it's 55 hours. This time, it was 14.35! At almost ten dollars an hour. Ya can see who got screwed this year.

I know how you feel. I'm really picky about where my tax dollars go. It sucks that you don't get your whole pay. The old machine shop I used to work at never really had their stuff straight. It was really annoying. Especially trying to make a living off of mistakes. They say California is the cheapest place to live.. But it doesn't seem very cheap to me. Gas is over $3 a gallon again. That's nowhere near cheap.

Yep. It's $3.24 or up in our state too. I also noticed that the fast food places jacked the prices up a dollar on the value meals. Don't seem like no value when I spend over 6 bucks for a meal! At McDonald's, they put down the nutrition facts on the boxes now. I about crapped myself when I seen how much carbs and sodium was in the Double cheese quarter pounder tonight. Talk about slowing killing myself. I won't have to worry about the cigarettes doing it. Just eat a few of those hamburgers every night. lol

Haha.. I'm sure cigarettes are worse. Unless you frequently eat at McDonalds. Have you seen Supersize Me?

I think I know what ya talking about. Is it a comedy? Well, we've decided we won't eat there no more. They're still using trans fat to cook their foods in! Yuck!
