You need to watch the video of Iron Sheik arguing with Ultimate Warrior at the NJ convention

Rich Vos telling Eric (Sheik's former manager) "Tell him Jew" is one of the most hilarious things ever because Vos is Jewish

Job update: Can't keep up with full-time. Talked to boss about moving down to part-time and he'll do everything he can to make it work because I'm actually apparently valuable?

That would be ideal. Unfortunately, we're also losing one of my best friends at the company, someone I clicked with immediately. Will try to keep in touch with him.

I think both Hebrew and Arabic writing are absolutely beautiful.

Which is funny, because Semitic languages in general are succinct, abrupt and sometimes a bit harsh in speech. :laugh:

There are a LOT of things in my personal situation (which aren't anyone's business on this site) that make it impossible to work 40+ hours per week without burning myself out not to the point of exhaustion, but to the point of actual sickness or worse. I've tried it, it's impossible right now. We have more than enough money saved up to get by for a long time without a full-time salary.

Generally, you're right about the benefits thing. However, my previous company gave me full benefits at 50% time, and I'm on COBRA at the moment so it doesn't matter if my current company offers benefits or not because I can do COBRA for 18 months (by which time I can perhaps move back to full-time again.)

EDIT: Also, Bengals fans don't like the word "yinz." That's Pittsburgh and with all due respect to my man PanthersPens62, f*** Pittsburgh. :laugh:

No offense ever taken from you and don't ever feel like you have to explain your personal situation on here. You (and everyone for that matter) need to do what's best for you and your family. I hope the situation works itself out in your favor when all is said and done.

why over 40

work flex hours 7-3

day over

I always like how people complain and work odd hours like 3 to midnight @Sega Dreamcast

you can work regular normal people hours

7-3

8-4

and so on

thanks brother.

btw I definitely want to go on a cruise next summer. I'll be taking a look and booking well ahead of time, not sure where we want to go yet.

and fwiw I have no problem whatsoever with Pittsburgh as a city, nor do I have anything against the Pirates (the only one that hates the Pirates is Bob Nutting tbh) or Penguins. It's just that football team. :laugh:

There are extraneous factors for me personally that make it impossible to work a solid block of time, at any one time, except for overnight which is impossible for other reasons. Those factors might clear up in a couple years, or they might not.
