2 weeks paid vacation is standard in any half way decent job.

Oh how I LOLed when I read that *smug European*

Yeah, because your economy is doing so well China is anally raping you. You are probably enjoying that!

Hey you know what... I've spent my entire adult life working, often two jobs, with going to school for several years. I have over a decade of combined working experience. I can chill and play video games all day for a while if I want to.

A decade of combined work experience stacking shelves. The value of that kind of experience plateaus after about two hours

I've never stacked shelves in my life, well except for when I was doing community service for the Library.

Regardless, in my most recent job, I managed over 100 union employees in a business that generated $45K in DAILY sales. Yes, I ran my entire shift and the entire day on the weekends. I was THE person to speak to whenever I was on and it's more than you think to manage a full-staff kitchen as well as several brands.

Before (and during) that, I was the de facto general manager of a fast food place and in charge of inventory, scheduling, etc.

Don't sleep on stuff like this... I may come in one day, find out several employees called out, including one of the cooks... The steamer is down, as usual... the previous day's order of over $100K in product was late and came in in the morning and needs to be put up... oh and one of the refrigerators is acting up and I need to wrangle on the phone to get an emergency repair while having everything stuffed into another refrigerator... oh and the repairmen who are here to fix the steamer have to turn off the power to the entire kitchen line to make their repairs and we open in one hour with an open house and 800 lunch vouchers out there.

Jesus.

That's why I envy all those in the 'high-stakes' world of investment banking and finance.

Yeah, so you're a glorified burger flipper/washer upper?

Broken fridges? Oh the technical challenge!

Do the central tenets of Buddhist philosophy advocate being a slob?

I preferred you when you were all wigger...
