I'm impressed by your self control.

I came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter. It was the institution of the "free lunch" I had struck. You paid for a drink and got as much as you wanted to eat. For something less than a rupee a day a man can feed himself sumptuously in San Francisco, even though he be a bankrupt. Remember this if ever you are stranded in these parts. ~ Rudyard Kipling, 1891 -
These fvckers are insane in NYC. 100 hour weeks are de rigeur. Having to cancel vacations is routine. Can't believe you were talked into working for them.Originally posted by Asher

It doesn't bother me. I'm a 9-5, 40 hour workweek guy. That's the beauty of not being a real employee of the company.
They pay my company for my services 40 hours a week, and that's all they get...no matter what happens."The issue is there are still many people out there that use religion as a crutch for bigotry and hate. Like Ben."

I'd be interested to know where the apartment is.Comment

The brand new stadium is scary. As people stomp the whole thing shakes and bolts fall. Scary."The issue is there are still many people out there that use religion as a crutch for bigotry and hate. Like Ben."

If it was me, it would be a pitch between London and NYC anyway.
I might go for NYC, but just because I'd like to live a while in the states, so that might be my stepping stone into moving there, but if that wasn't an issue and I could be more objective.. London. Definitely London. You can also get to know the superior train system of Euriope

Toronto FC.Exult in your existence, because that very process has blundered unwittingly on its own negation. Only a small, local negation, to be sure: only one species, and only a minority of that species; but there lies hope. [...] Stand tall, Bipedal Ape. The shark may outswim you, the cheetah outrun you, the swift outfly you, the capuchin outclimb you, the elephant outpower you, the redwood outlast you. But you have the biggest gifts of all: the gift of understanding the ruthlessly cruel process that gave us all existence [and the] gift of revulsion against its implications.

Crews Inspect BMO Field After Several Bolts Come Loose
Perhaps the celebration was too great when Toronto FC scored its first goals and captured its first wins in front of a home crowd at BMO Field Saturday and Wednesday.
Whatever the reason, workers have checked and tightened thousands of bolts at the newly-opened stadium after they found roughly half a dozen fallen bolts and fasteners. Maple Leaf Sports & Entertainment, which owns the club and the $62.9-million stadium, believes sellout crowds stomping their feet could be to blame just three games into FC's home schedule.
"The good thing was it identified the problem," said MLSE executive vice-president of operations Bob Hunter, "and we think it's very isolated. We've only found six to eight of these things. We think they're isolated cases where they may have been tightened but not tightened enough."
Initially the debris was thought to have been excess material left by workers but after an inspection of the grandstand was done more bolts were found at the next game. Another inspection followed and then two more bolts were found following the Canada-Argentina under-20 game May 11. At that point the call was made to check them all.
"Over the last three days, they've been doing it. They'll finish doing the entire stadium today," Hunter said Friday. "It was a pretty major undertaking," he added of the inspection, which covered every row in the stadium.
MLSE is also reconsidering its ban on umbrellas in the stadium after Wednesday's big home win was played in constant rain. The policy was intended to preserve the sightlines.
"We're going to do a little bit more homework," Hunter promised."The issue is there are still many people out there that use religion as a crutch for bigotry and hate. Like Ben."
