The bible says so
We all know the cry of Christian homophobes who use Leviticus (18:22) to condemn homosexuality. Well, as JC said “Whoever is free of sin….” you know the rest.
Here are other finds:
Leviticus forbids round haircuts (19:27), touching pig skin or eating pork (11:8), fortune telling (19:31) the punishment for which is exile (20:6), tattoos (19:28), wearing polyester or any fabric...
Overtime
The week of the Greater New York Trade Show I worked 62 hours. That is twenty-two overtime hours. The week before that I worked, 55 hours. That is fifteen extra hours. All that extra work in order to cover holes, fix mistakes, and have print materials, promotional pieces, and 3 infomercials ready for the show. It was a very stressful couple of weeks.
Three weeks later, after the company not being...

A new place.
The plans of moving to the West village fell through. The person who was helping to get us in this place downtown (that I never got to see) got stopped and delayed by the co-up board.

Late payments
This new jobs of mine is becoming a big hassle already.
First, what used to be a one-hour, $30 a week commute thanks to a car pool, jumped to a 2 hour, $120 a week commute. Why? The chick that is fucking the driver moved to the city, so I got kicked out of the car pool. Oh the power of vagina.
On top of that, this company has been failing to pay its employees, or in my case, hand out bad checks....
Nothing is too wonderful to be true
I thought I found it. I though I got the ultimate job. I do what I love, I have a lot of room for creativity, I am free to make mistakes and learn from them, I get to travel around the world with all expenses paid (one trip to Shanghai so far), all while getting pampered back at the office. But, Nothing is too wonderful to be true.
This will be the fourth week in a row that we do not get paid....
