Quit having kids, you're wasting my money!
A post is made to [info]bad_service in which a mother with WIC vouchers and several kids was insulted to her face and behind her back by a clerk. While most people seem to agree that this is bad service, about half the commentors are also quick to tell the OP that she's brought it all on herself and to either quit whining or quit popping out babies she can't afford. 123 comments of "My thoughts on having kids" and growing.

Eljay and Neopets. Arg.

But hee, your icon = ♥. I work at an IBM plant as a contractor, and holyshit, can the IBMers* be absolute douchebags.

*No, really, that's what they're called and yes, I do think it sounds absolutely stupid

XD Let us take a moment to bask in our mutual love of each other's icons <3

I have friends that are contractors at M$ and they have this serious problem with the blue-badgers being complete twats. I'm lucky as a grad student though, I realized my place at the bottom of science totempole many moons ago ;)

(sorry, i'm apparently verbose today o.o)

Oh Megan Hilty, how hilariously expressive you are ♥ (Although in the real picture, Boq was off to her left, but she had such a 'talk to the hand' pose that I couldn't resist - plus, I didn't have a bitchplz type icon)


See, I was all enthused about science in school (I got my BS in chemistry in May '06). I had this classy plan to get a bit of local experience [and live at home to save money], then get a job in food science or consumer products. Now I'm in an environmental lab testing waste water and potable water [we're our own public water supplier and dump 2.5 million gallons of water a day into a teeny little stream, so our limits are hella low. Like 10 ppb for some stuff, as compared to another local plant that has 100 ppm limits - but they dump into the (already fucked up) Hudson River]. I just can't stand it, because I run the same dozen analysis every week and I'm bored as hell. Plus, environmental chemistry is cliquey as all get out, because some of these people have been working together for 15+ years. I'm only 22, and aside from the new guy, the next youngest person is 29 with a toddler. Plus, I've managed to develop reactions to all three (non-latex) types of gloves we have available.

So I said fuck it, I'm getting an office job and moving to Boston. That is, if the creepy tourists don't scare me off from it.

(I'm verbose too, so no worries ♥

I have the first page of comments here. I'll try to upload the second, but my Firefox needs to stop crashing.
