The place that i have been working at for the past few months has been very up and down. The management and treatment of employees was very poor and besides having to listen to the owner whining and cussing over his inventory (which he always seemed to blame everyone else but himself for, even if he was the last one to use the items) - making employees work overtime without giving them the pay... what more do i need to say. I called in sick on Wednesday because i was considering leaving, that afternoon i sent him my letter of resignation. I know there should have been a formal approach and a two weeks notice but i'm not the type of person to let someone talk down to me. Is this wrong? - I know that the business will be suffering as well because its the beginning of the season, i would have stayed if he could control his temper and maybe hire more employees to do the jobs. In the end it all comes down to bad management, the typical small business owner who thinks he can do everything -

He was supposed to be the lead role, but due to 'contractual reasons' has been pulled from the show.

Does anyone know the real reason why?

In the manual with my new toaster (Kitchen Gourmet 2-slice toaster), there is a warning that the product contains lead and you should "wash hands after use." More confusing, there is a strip of white paper over the warning, so the warning is visible through the paper but is clearly meant to have been blocked out. Since this product was made in China, and since there has been news lately about Chinese-made products containing lead, I don't know whether to consider this toaster safe to use. I have no way to know whether the paper-over thing means "this warning does not apply" or "we think this warning looks bad." In addition, I don't know the implications of lead in a toaster. If it is only the exterior paint, presumably the toast would be ok? On the other hand, if there is lead somewhere that may contaminate the food, there is definitely a problem. On a web search I did not see recalls for this particular product. How safe is this toaster?

Hockey has the Stanley Cup, Basketball has the Larry O'Brien trophy, Canadian Football has the Grey Cup, American Football has the Vince Lombardi Trophy, Baseball does award the Cy Young trophy for the best pitcher in the AL and NL, but there is no name for the trophy given to the world series champion. Should baseball have a name for that trophy and if so what should it be. Best answer will be given to the most original concept.

yesterday when checking email i was half way through reading one really offensive reply to a question it suddenly vanished. This was to me a very good thing as i had read enough to be (i can`t think of a suitable word) more than hurt or shocked. would this be someone watching out for such things. If my husband had seen it he would have banned me from this site but i love it and the people. Please tell me that these bad folk are far and few between. I might have to sail around the world.
