Why would you go to work ?, you ever thought about it, The Ozzman has 8 hour shifts and sits there, if you don't go to work you sit for 8 hours, but what's the difference, do you know what the difference is ?

When there's nothing to do at work, back when I worked for other people, I'd spend the time planning and preparing for eventually becoming self-employed.

I was pretty adept at reading and filling prescriptions/answering phones at the same time when I worked in a pharmacy.

That sucks. My employer had a pretty big layoff many years ago, but my position isn't easily filled so it had no impact on me. A lot of my friends had to find new jobs, which was tough because there wasn't much in the way of opportunity here at the time so a lot of them wound up moving.

What is shitty is that no one except a small group of people knew this was happening. We had an all hands meeting at 9 AM and it was over at 9:03 and basically it was 'Thanks for your service but get the fuck out'. I don't report to anyone at the moment because my supervisor and her supervisor both got canned. Heavy shit.
Ours was announced in advance and people were allowed to voluntarily take severance packages if they were in the group of people who were vulnerable to being laid off. The decisions made after that were basically drawn out of a hat, with the stipulation that those doing the selection could veto someone being laid off if they got good feedback about them. In that case, it would go to the next potential person until they met the quota.

lol, this has happened to me several times as well. I still usually get the package delivered by the end of the day, but it definitely raises eyebrows as to whether their shipping methods are as efficient as they can be. Imo it is much worse when they claim a package was delivered, but you can't find it anywhere. Sometimes they put my packages in the most unlikely spots, so I spend almost an hour combing around my garage, up at the top of my half mile lane, and even ask the neighbor that shares a lane with us if they delivered it to them (I dont even like the woman so I tend to avoid this option unless im fiending for whatever the delivery is). Then it comes the next day, before or after you start submitting a claim. My brother had a package of his (we live in NJ mind you) delivered to someone in California, but I personally have never had a package get completely lost in the mail. Delays, but no losses, so at least there is that.

I ordered a CD and tape from Nekro Drunkz (a band) directly and the drunk fuck wrote "Austria" on it rather than Australia and so it goes to Europe, goes back to America and somehow gets lost in New York even though Nekro Drunkz are located in Oregon and sent it from there. He eventually gave up trying to locate it and refunded me but it was such a dumb incident I wasn't mad.
Most Australians who order from overseas dread the Austria/Australia mix-up, can't believe it fucking actually happened to me though, and the band signed the CD for me so there's a CD out there of the sleaziest metal around with personal messages for me all up in the booklet and shit.

Still can’t be worse than opening my media mail package and then replacing the CDs inside with different ones.
Also @CiG i believe all USPS mail goes through customs at New York, in my experience anyway... so it probably got lost right shelved there before it ever made back to the regular postal system here.

This damn hurricane has already cost me way too much money. Hope there's no damage on top of the prep costs.
