Bump this thread when you get the day off without being charged a vacation day.

Ok, well that explanation will do for traditionally then.

Also theres always exception to the rule. The rule in this case being rednecks liking country music. People always have whacky choices in their music tastes.

Really though, I have no idea.

It pretty much is only rednecks who like country. or hicks or hillbillies. MrFun is one of those 3.

[MrFun]

Nope -- I guess labels don't always work for people.

[Flip McWho]

Oh we'll squeeze you into one of those in no time.

I'd say closet hillbilly. :P

[Thoth]

nah, he's a closet Redneck. :


Do we need a poll thread for this?

It was christmas day to be exact. My boss said I wouldn't lose any hours (I get paid by the hour), and I'd get paid for the full 8 hours when I only worked 4.

I always work christmas day, and I'll be working christmas again this year.[/quote]

That's quite barbaric - that kind of staff treatment is illegal in Europe - there is a minimum of 20 days paid holiday (pro rata) over here...

I should note that was 2 different jobs.

They'd never give me any time off at this job. . But like I said, the work is pretty easy. And I like the fact my company is about 75% female. .

I'm allowed to take vacation. But it's not paid vacation.

I got a few hours off today due to a bomb threat. really ****ed up my afternoon plans. :grrr: at least phone in a threat when I am scheduled for court hearings.

Why is it that country music, unlike other genres of music, is so predominantly white? I mean, we see white gangsta rappers who have emulated (pathetically) of what was originally of black singers.

So what is up with country music being more predominantly of one race in terms of its singers compared to other genres?

I'm more concerned about the lack of black players in hockey. What's up with that?

Does this include vacations to Mingapaulco?
