The girl working in the building I'm working in now says that the books are really good; maybe that's it.

I don't know; in my experience, movie adaptations of books don't often live up to their hype. However, she challenged me to give it a try, so I might.

Has anyone ever seen this before?

I went to school for a while in Northern Wisconsin, & remembered seeing this.

It wasn't quite as spectacular as some of these photos, but it was still pretty cool!

Is it unusual for these lights to appear as far south as the great lakes states in the U.S. ?

Michigan is pretty far North Lee, I know the further North you are in the state the easier it is to see them. I live in the central part of the state and they where recently viewable in my area however I just couldn't see them from my particular location.

Please read. A sad and disturbing case that happened this past weekend in my city. I'm not sure I'd still be alive if this had happened to me, as I probably wouldn't have been able to control my rage at seeing my baby killed before my eyes. Regardless, I clutched my own Heeler just a little bit harder last night.

^Damn, that's rough. Leave it to the cops to not only be jumpy, but also get the address wrong. That's got to be hard on everyone involved. Nothing justified killing the dog, and if this guy is a canine-phoebe, he'd be better behind a desk than out on patrol.

Reading the comments, though, I have to be saddened by how badly cops have been demonized, too. I may not have any direct experience with them, but I find it hard to believe that all cops are dirty. Yes, shit happens every now and then, but at least half the time, cops are only doing their jobs. It's usually when people get aggressive that violence escalates to the point where everyone cries "harassment!" even though it might actually be necessary.

Yeah, cops do alot more good than bad but only the bad gets any real attention. My hospital has a contract with at least 50 officers from this department, Ive had many hands on-dealings with them as well as interviewing them for positions and helping their detectives track down fugitives. I could say that out of 50 of them, I would feel that 48 were fully competent, responsible guys and gals, that are fully aware and take responsibility for all their actions. But with any civil service or military job, theres always going to be a small handful who just shouldn't be placed in a position of power such as wielding a deadly weapon.

I haven't heard the officer's side of the story, and I may never, so for the most part I have, and will continue to try to reserve judgement. But it doesn't change the fact that an innocent dog died for the love of his owner.

Well, only 3 more shots to get till the movie is done. End of Course Tests is really fucking me over. I bring my camera every day and yet, crap. Oh well, here is the first still I am willing to share of this production. It is also the cover for my facebook time line. I am quite proud of the shot this still is from (and of course, it is going to look better as a moving picture):

Work has been a mixed bag, I've been getting pulled to do the job I used to do pretty much every single day I've been there in the past week I've had two days to do my job the rest of the time I've been on truck.

But on a plus side that's been causing me to pick up hours.

Plus my personal life is REALLY picking up. sickko

Sadly it's going to have to go on hold after this upcoming week because I'll be gone for about two weeks.

Yeah I leave on the 16th for Florida and won't be getting back till the 26th. Part of me is glad but part of me is wishing it was shorter because that's 10 days of unpaid time off. Well actually 12 so far, they gave me the day before I leave off (not by choice, we have a dumb rule where you can't work 7 days in a row) and I took the day after we get back off because I didn't think we'd be arriving back here till late at night.

So it's looking like I won't be back to work until Memorial day but on a positive note when I get back I will be getting holiday pay for Memorial Day and also I should be due for a bonus here either next pay check after this Thursday's or shortly afterwards.

Matthew, your health is obviously first and foremost the most important thing here. I appreciate you dropping a line as I know I and some other members around here were curious, even concerned about you. We still are. I hope you can get to feeling better soon. We all feel that way. Take care! Mr. Smiles

Sort of but it's impacted by the whole store. We get a quartly bonus the better our store does in terms of sales, low accidents on both fellow associates and customers and also how well we keep the store neat factor into the bonus.

If we where a top tier store and my average hours from the time I started to now was 36-40 I could get up to $2200. My bonus will probably be a couple of hundred dollars though as we aren't a top tier store.

It's been a while since I've been around; I thought I'd drop in.

I finally quit my job with my neighbor. He now owes me over four hundred dollars, which is crap compared to what I actually deserve from this guy. Not that I'm the poster-child for hard-working Americans everywhere, but still.

Not getting paid, as I said much earlier, is very annoying and discouraging, especially when, besides groceries, I have car and med bills to worry about (both of which are due right now, I might add). But the getting used to satisfy your own means thing was grating on me. I have this illusion that everybody should treat others equally, and it bothers me much more than normal when the opposite happens. He started taking on more work, and to help out he hired a high-school kid part-time. A decision I felt was somewhat a mistake; he is a nice guy, but we were so busy he shouldn't have hired a trainee.

What it was was that the kid was his good friend's son, and he probably felt obligated to hire him. This guy has really shown his true colors in the last few months. Instead of being a trusted employee (which was some bogus idea he fed to me to begin with), I became his gopher; going around and doing stuff he didn't want to do. Now, that is perfectly acceptable in most normal circumstances, but these were more than just busy tasks; they were things he had promised substantial amounts of time beforehand that he never really cared to worry about until the last minute. I would often have to travel 30 + minutes away from home on a daily basis. My car gets good gas mileage, but 100 dollars every week or so doesn't help that much. I've done busy work before, but I never felt like I was being taken advantage of.

The irony of the whole situation is this: Well, I'll start by saying I live on a golf course, and this guy's a golfer. So is my Dad, and my roommate. I periodically go to the clubhouse and drink a few with the guys. Everybody has told me to stay away from this guy; literally everyone I know down there has been burned by him at one time or another, and I didn't listen. Whether I'll ever see my money or not I don't know; I believe he thinks I forgot about it, so I'm now going to call him about every other day or so. I'm not going to be a bad-ass, I'm just going to be as annoying as possible. He never picks up when I call him, so I'll see how he likes fifteen or twenty messages on his phone a week. And I can always ride my bike to his house and say hi. I think I'm going to make the most of this situation; I'f I'm not going to get paid, then what the hell; why not?

The good news is that my roommate (who does basically the same thing; except more building and less painting) gave me a job. He likes to quit at a normal time as a pose to seven or eight at night, he is an extremely cool guy, he doesn't mind a day off here and there, and he actually pays me. All I need now is to get back on track with school and get resumes sent out to the hospitals (and whatever else I find available), and I'll be, if nothing else, more happy with myself. I'm going to go make a phone call...
