minimum wage in nys
Category: money
The range of minimum wage from 1960-now is pretty crazy. It seems so hard to imagine it being $3 in the 90s.

I don't really want to get into this but also the raising of Minimum wage raises Inflation and could also cause it....

Not to mention do longer following the gold Standard.......

But also not everyone gets minimum wage so........

Inflation? I bet you could buy a lot more things with $3 in the 90s than now.

I am so tired
Category: work
I am trying to wrap up this massive work project in the last few days so that i don't have to think about it during St. Patricks day weekend. I cannot wait for it to be freakin over. I have already worked 12-15 hours everyday this week. With 40 hours right now. Tomorrow hasn't even started yet. It better just go smooth and then I am going to take off.

I really hope in april we get a new position and I can finally have an assistant/partner in crime. I would love so much to have someone to work with directly so that I am not responsible for so much stuff alone. Plus its just more interesting to work with other people and have someone to talk to about the projects we would be working on together.

God I look strung out from programming.

Even though I don't like Beer or Guinness that does sound good think one might kill me...........

an Irish car bomb is a half pint of Guinness with a shot of Bailey's and Jameson dropped in it and downed. Delish!

that and having no support from everyone (family, coworkers, friends) who should be supporting you at times when you are desperately working on deadlines but are instead whining about their own troubles :/

@(e:Paul) I'm sure what ever you do you will Enjoy St. Pats.....
metalpeter - 03/15/12 19:43
@(e:Paul) I get the 12 Hour day is long.... Sometimes that is how long I'm out of the house But I can't imagine having to work that long let alone 15 argh.... At least though you are close.... Or maybe that makes it worse if people know you are close by?
metalpeter - 03/15/12 19:41
@(e:ladycroft) One thing I have all ways wanted to ask what is an Irish Car Bomb?
ladycroft - 03/15/12 13:03

Liberte vs chobani yogurt
Category: food
The liberate is 1000% tastier but check out the fat on that. 0% fat vs almost half the daily allowance of saturated fat. The chobani is also not very many calories in general. My puffed rice cereal is the same way. Its like 50 calories a bowl. I think I need to up the significance of my breakfast.
