I growled > "No thanks", and walked out. I hae when there's no way to wash your hands! I generally use the wheelchair-accessible washroom, if someone's not using it when not needed (mostly middle aged Asian women, who stand on the seat & spray it down, or teenage shoplifters wanting to unpackage the loot); if the dryer's dfead, I just go into the regular men's room to dry, or into the family room (hey, I got family) I only need to dry one had, so if I do so on my pants or shirt no biggie. . . > GP> To be serious for a moment (only a momet, don't worry!): did you know > GP> Bon Jovi has a "pay what you can" restautrant in New Jersey? > Interesting.

True story, I knew a guy, who was an independent excavator O/O. He got a one job contract from the city to assist on a road project (pipe replacement, I think); the city outsources some work to save on union wages. My buddy gets there, & there's nobod around, so he waits, waits, then checlks the spec sheet he got with his contract & went ahead & dug up the road as specified, as he was putting the backhoe back on his flatbed, the crew shows up (had been at "coffee" all morning); the foreman starts swearing at my mate, saying he just did work they planned to keep stretched out for 3-4 weeks! Buddy just shrugged & left. > ... I've used up all my sick days, so I'm calling in dead. You have to give your two weeks;' notice, or your pay will be docked. Q: What do you eat on payday?

I thought nothing of it, but then it happened again next payday, a nd honestly the paycheck felt a little short. I approached my boss and asked him what the deal was. He said "your paycheck? Yeah that's just your day rates." "And the hot dogs?" I asked "Nitrates" -=- My boss asked me, "Why do you come out in rashes every time I give you your w ages ?" I said, "Because I am allergic to peanuts." "What's your wage?" asked my friend. I said, "It's the amount of money I make."
