What pissed you off today?

These men should not be allowed to vote on any laws.
Condoning violence against women and minorities.
Overall, I am relieved this passed and they are the minority. Just pitiful though.

All that voted against the bill are Repbulicans. I suspect we have republican members here at the Planet. It must be somewhat difficult to see their party consistently put the needs of women lower on the priority list. I see Rubio one of the new Golden Boys of the GOP is all down for immigration reform but not protecting women against violence. I can't help but wonder what is their justification for voting against this bill. Probably something like "We all ready have laws on the book that covers this. These laws just need to be enforced."

So true about the Golden Boys. The extreme GOP. Santorum...I helped to vote him out. It was my pleasure. Rubio should back up his supposed concern about the protections of immigrants.
This Act could protect against acts of violence to native americans, LGBT and immigrants.
Cantor the House Majority leader ...ugh...It is abominable behavior and neglect for anyone to not pass these protections.

Nothing I have learned to take a time-out when upset years ago.

An email from a perspective employer. She corrected me on my wording of my employment for an agency. I explained to her exactly WHY I worded it as such (for my client's privacy) and she emailed me AGAIN and corrected me AGAIN on the same thing.

SO....me being me and today being that kind of DAY....

I told her thank you but I don't see it working for me....and proceeded to correct her spelling. Bad energy abounded. And it was fewer hours than I have now anyway. Thanks. I will PASS..

Gemme · 02-18-2013, 07:42 PM

Work issues.

Kätzchen · 02-18-2013, 09:20 PM

Poorly written tax law in Washington state which is now, seemingly all of a sudden, being utilized to tax music venues (that either do or do not have dance floors) by imposing steep, retroactive, tax penalties which will put many under new financial hardships that will affect not only recording artists/bands and music venue owners, but also people who want to go hear music and dance.

to try to get a last word in and correct her....not kewl...sorry, I don;t agree with your tactic in that regard, having been an HR Administrator for years and having worked with staffing agencies.
