Christmas bonus

Wow! Someone is fired up! Creates a troll account and then rants with such emotion you can almost see the blood and tears through the typed words! Lol! Mods should merge that account with whoever it belongs to so we can bring them out of hiding. Vbulletin has tools that let you find duplicate accounts.

Seriously. Go back under your bridge and attack some billy goats. That is unnecessary.

Hi,

How about we stop calling people trolls on every second thread?

^ I was thinking about how easily people are throwing around the word "troll" lately. It's kind of as annoying as the accused "troll".

Anyways, I'm truely thankful for recently visiting a disgustingly poor country. It really, really put things into perspective for me.

I live in a craphole. I really do. A large part of the roof above my living room and an even larger portion of the ceiling of my living room caved in about a month ago and by looking up you were able to see the blue sky above. It was like that for a while, and eventually got patched up.
The hardwood floors have about 10% of the original varnish left. The basement has nasty carpet (from the 1960s I'm sure) and the laundry room is basically a poorly carved out bomb shelter. The walls are all scratched/banged up, and don't even get me started on the kitchen or bathroom! However, it's the best I can do, as a student.

I have a home. I am going to school. I have clothes. I have food to eat (most weeks - I've been previously scraping money for that trip), I had enough money to leave my country and visit others, and I have financial support.

There is so much that I have, that so many others don't. I'm not trying to take away your right to be upset or complain, I just have such a different perspective on life because of this little trip.
I'm thankful I don't live in one of these:

which are extremely typical of the country I am referring to. These, are actually a lot larger and more advanced than a lot that I saw (these actually have doors and all walls).

I'm not trying to be preachy, but now whenever I pity myself for my living conditions, I will have real memories of real people who live with what they have, and may wish for more, but they make it work.

I was concerned because a fairly nonchalant topic got insanely personal and nasty, and was hoping to maybe encourage people to calm down. Troll simply came up because it was a brand new account, the first post being in the same grammatical pattern and emotion as one of the participating parties. I'm no mod, just trying to be helpful. I can see now it isn't doing much but flaming things up, so I'll take my leave.

Hope ya have a good day :)

All this "be thankful" stuff is great, but being thankful won't get you a raise...or a better job.

To the OP...have you applied to any other jobs? Just because you're currently employed doesn't mean you can't still be looking for something better. I'd check out some openings and send out some resumes. If you find another company that is interested in you and floats you an offer, it makes it much easier to tell your current employer to pack sand if he doesn't treat you better...you have valuable skills...don't let him hose you...

Thank you...I'm really not a "troll"...it's amazing how people can jump to conclusions so quicky--and fyi, calling someone a troll is likely not something that would deflate or calm someone, it's kind of obnoxious and in this case, incorrect...and lol "Seriously. Go back under your bridge and attack some billy goats." Riiight. I love debating people who are clearly on higher moral ground. Reminds me of when religous folk start in with the name calling, etc...it's like hello, don't you see the irony? Which is exactly what annoyed me, someone complaining about another persons right to complain and then being entirely too daft to catch the irony. It is obnoxious to be called a troll...sorry if I stooped to a similar empty argument. "Mods should merge that account with whoever it belongs to so we can bring them out of hiding. Vbulletin has tools that let you find duplicate accounts." Ooooooh I'm scared, wil there be any National Guard involvement--or perhaps I will be featured on an upcoming NCIS episode? I can only dream....

I have several teachers in my family, so I know, I know, you work at home blah blah blah. I know. But are you working today, yesterday...the day before? Maybe at home, but I doubt at school. I would LOVE to wear my pink bunny slippers, working while drinking tea and simultaneously watching an NCIS (one I'm in?). But not a lot of people get to do that. So maybe those who are teachers should "just be thankful" instead of immediately starting on "we don't get all summer off, blah blah". We know. We heard.

And yes, I agree, it is good to be grateful. Heck, I wish I could visit some less-fortunate third world country...unfortunately, I can't afford that.
And yes, I've considered getting another job, but with the economy what it is on Long Island, I am considered lucky to have what I have.
Still, when one works hard they are entited to fee they deserve proper compensation....and when one is posting on a forum, they are meant to voice their opinion (I think).
The pact mentality sure does kick in quick, no?
Cheers!

This thread is still being replied to? Wasn't this like a week ago? Who still harps on this stuff? And seriously, name calling and personal attacks to other members is totally unnecessary. Seems to me like the OP is over it since he hasn't replied, why isn't everyone else?

You're a champ, aren't cha? :rolleyes: So positive and delightful!

I chimed in because I felt like chiming in. If you have a problem with this thread still running, it's simple: don't open it up and read it.

I've never said I don't complain. Everyone does. Although, without replying to the thread, how else do you expect people to realize that the reason the OP was made has been far derailed.

No one cares about the OP any more...we're just happy to be beating a dead horse and then complaining about it...

Yeah but the troll accusation when it is against someone who has only ever replied to this thread is valid. No one just patrols random forums and then just decides to finally register and post a tirade! Disagreements aside it is a despicable trait to try and defend yourself annomosly so you can pretend to be a supporter of your cause.

Hey dude, FBI fail. I explained how I found the board in my first post. Through a google search. You must be a troll!!!!! Bwahahaha

All a majority of ppl do on this board do is accuse one another of being trolls. There's a dead horse over there, are you interested?

I'd rather read people making actual POINTS about, you know, topics, opinions, feelings, etc., whether I agree or not, than engaging in futie name-calling. TROLL!!!

You said you found this thread by searching Christmas bonus and complain? You were that bored to stroll through 7 pages on google to find this post?

Someone is going to assume you're a troll, and yes it is possible...

Actually no genius, the delineators were Christmas bonus AND complain.

If you're sleuthing had led yoou to my post, you would have seen this.

But, then again, it's better to ASSume, yes?

And, your pst shows that you 1)went to google
2)typed in Christmas bonus
3)scrolled through 7 pages to see where the hit for this page was

(again I could point out you used the wrong delineators, which could have been avoided by reading my first post rather than assuming)....but I won't do that! Not for an on-the-go, no-time-a-wastin' person such as yourself who would never waste there time....er....eh

This is child's play and I for one am bowing out, bored.

And right you are to judge me for joining the thread. Only a moron would do that. Irony deficiency?

Can't edit, but I will say, I READ ALL of your post... and EVERY other post on here, you assumed, like you said I did, when I did not. THEN you attacked me? why, I simply stated something, I did NOT accuse you of anything..

So yeah, thanks for that personal attack against me. :\

Get a room, you two...
