Commute worth the pay?

My Question today, is your commute worth what you are being paid? I'd say I get paid an average salary for what I do but my commute is almost unbearable. I live 20 miles from where I work, which isn't that bad, but I have to take the DC beltway every day. If I leave my house before 6am my commute is normally not too bad, it takes about 40 mins to an 1 hour. But if I leave any time after 6am it can take me anywhere from 1.5 to 2 hours. Blah… So recently I've been looking for jobs closer to my house, because while I think I get paid average for what I do, I don't think I get paid enough if you factor in the commute. What about you?

Do you pick the city to live in or does the city pick you

I was thinking, do people pick a city to live in or near and then find a job in that city or does the job pick the city for them. In my case, I moved to the DC area to be with my fiancée and found a job there. But I know friends who lived in places then got a job offer in a different city, so they moved based on there job. I know there are different factors for everyone, but over all I wonder why people end up in the cities they do.

Does your work pay you right?

My question is does your company pay you what they agreed to pay you, because mine doesn't. About two months ago my boss said there were all these unused hours on the contract my team works on and that if anyone could help make up these hours they would be compensated. After asking what the compensation was my boss finally said for the extra time you work you will be paid at whatever the hourly rate of your salary is.

For the last month and a half, I've been putting lots of extra hours and my boss hasn't compensated me AT ALL. NOT EVEN A F@CKING THANK YOU. So I talked to her about this and she claims she never said the company would compensate us (me), which is the biggest load of sh!t I've ever heard.

I Really need advice, what do you think I should do?

How long until CD's become obsolete

I'm sure you have seen the reports stating CD sales have been falling year after year. I remember as a kid being excited to go to stores like The Wall or Sam Goodies or my local record shop and pick up a new CD. Then I would get home put the CD on and listen to the album while looking at the albums' artwork! It was so great! But as time has gone on I have grown further and further away from buying the actual CD, in fact I can't remember the last physical CD I purchased. And now that I have an iPod…forget it...to be honest I'm not sure if I'll ever buy a physical CD again. So with music accessible with the click of a button through places like iTunes or Amazon, when do you think the physical CD's will become obsolete, because eventually it will cost the record labels more money than it worth?


FYI ~ Album sales for 2007 are now down 15.3% for the year, compared with 2006 (Billboard).

Holiday Cards?

Do you think Holiday Cards are nice or cheesy?

Who's House for the Holidays?

Do you have this debate / argument with your significant others, "who's house we should go to for the holidays?" I really don't think anyone wins in this situation. Reason being, if you go to their house, deep inside you really want to be with your family, and the same would go for them if they came to your family's house. I always try to come up with a solution where no one gets hurt or offended but I truly believe in this situation there is no easy answer. I've been trying to find one, but I think I'm on a pointless hunt.

Any suggestions?

When is to early for christmas lights?

I have a question... When is it to early to put Christmas lights outside your house? We put our up last weekend but not one other house in our neighborhood has decorations up. We are new to the neighborhood, so we don't know when people put up decorations last year. But we did speak with different people over a month ago and they all said they were putting up Christmas/Holiday decorations. Did we put ours up to soon?

Road Rage?

Today, some asshole threw a full cup of coffee at my car while driving on the DC beltway. My crime? Fallowing the car infront of me. Tell us about your road rage stories
