It's a tank minus the main gun, tracks, and spinable top.

Is it that Hummer-like thing posted a few weeks back?

Pretty much. There's probably alot more armor and other stuff that they won't tell anyone about too.

Re: OS Off Topic 2009

Well, I just had a talk with my boss and he's cutting my hours...the company has been hit really hard by the recession and I dont know if we can stay afloat.

The thing that worries me is if the company folds my last paycheck would show that I was only working part time (due to them cutting my hours) and I wont be eligble for unemployment.

That brings me to my current conundrum...I want to be eligble with full-time hours for unemployment if (god forbid) the company folds, but I dont want to put stress on my company to give me those hours considering I know its current financial status and what me working full-time would to it financially.

Just an odd day...

I love MLB Network. Very cool for slow snow days like today.

Ah, interesting dilemma. However, you have to look out for yourself... so I'd get those hours any way I could. Just because you earned a few more bucks each paycheck isn't going to push the company over the edge...

ESPN360 rocks!
Being able to see FSU games and now the Carling Cup is just awesome.

I haven't really watched it much. What kind of programming do they have?

What seems like only "Classic" Red Soxs game(as well as other teams), and Home Run Derbies, mixed in with a Baseball Tonight like show called Hot Stove.

Harold Reynolds and a couple other guys discuss all of the Hot Stove news and rumors, and they show big games (World Series, etc.) from the past until the season starts.

I basically argued with him to stay on this entire week full-time, but next week is when the dilemma truly rears its ugly head.

I'm definitely looking out for #1 but, if he tells me to not come into to work I cant just show up and say pay me.

I've been with the company for over 7 years and they have helped me out alot and have been very accomodating to say the least...The fact that I've been on full time the past two months is a testament to that.

I'm stuck between a rock and a hard place.

Re: OS Off Topic 2009

A while back I mentioned I got certified to be an "official" basketball official this winter to help w. the trying times and earn some extra cake. I just rounded out my January schedule (still could pick up a few more games) and I'm going to make $950 this month - helluva a second job that doesn't require too much time.
