SCG Minneapolis is this weekend. I wish to attend Sunday's Legacy event. I am scheduled for work on that particular day, a shift lasting from 2:30-8:30pm (I'm a cashier at a large national hardware chain). I asked on Monday if I could just have the day off, as switching shifts with another employee was out of the question since every eligible employee was already aalready working that day (no one's allowed to work more than 40 hours/week, and the two cashiers that aren't working on Sunday will have already worked 40 hours-- just some bad beats in regards to my wishes, unfortunately). The top cashier said to wait until Wednesday for a response. I asked again on Wednesday, and she said, "Absolutely not; this weekend's Labor Day weekend, and it shall be quite busy." My question is: should I just call in sick on Sunday, even though they'll know I'm probably not sick?
Some background info: I've never called in sick/missed a shift before in the [sic]s months I've worked here. I've been called on short notice multiple times to pick up shifts (for people who have called in) over the months, and have obliged a majority of the time. I feel I'm an exceptional employee, having sold more consumer credit cards over June and July than any other employee, regardless of rank in the company, in the six-state Northern Plains region (108 stores, and largely without much financial incentive); I note this because I feel they would have something to lose if I were to be fired over this, and would feel slightly apprehensive in doing so. I make less than $9/hr. I have coincidentially built up exactly six hours of sick leave, so I'll be paid regardless. I really like my workplace environment even though work can be very boring sometimes.
So, am I making a big issue out of a commonplace (especially considering how menial of a job it is) work occurrence, or should I skip a tourney I think I might acutally top eight and work, ensuring job security?
I think the artist in question has awesome talent (as someone said previously, he could make a lot of money off of and for Bic if he spearheaded an ad campaign or something with these), but I don't think his work is as good as Max Ernst, Giorgio de Chirico, or Paul Gauguin as others have suggested in this thread.
In a time when the term "hero" is thrown around all too casually, another word is needed to describe Neil Armstrong and his fellow Apollo astronauts. Not for war, or for wealth, but for science, they climbed into a tiny cabin atop a 360-foot tower of explosives and rode the fire and thunder into the sky. Of all the seven billion humans in existence, only they have ever felt the soil of another world beneath their feet, and looked up over an alien horizon and seen with their own eyes the whole Earth floating in the sky like a mere marble of blue.
And now they are dying. Someday soon, no living man will be able to stand beneath the Moon and say, "Been there, done that." The Apollo missions will be a feat of the dead past, of our grandparents' generation, never since repeated - much less surpassed. Humanity will have surrendered the final frontier.
Incredibly eloquent, but a very intelligent and well-spoken man, Georg von Tiesenhausen, designer of the lunar rover, told me otherwise in-person; he foretold of future Moon landings, though for a different purpose than the Apollo missions.
Zac Hill's departure is one I'm very happy with in its own right, but the fact that he's said that his leave will allow guys like Tom LaPille to come back and do some spot dev work is frightening.
I repeat, Zac Hill's departure might allow for a brief return of Tom LaPille to developmental work, which is something I'm really not fine with. I disagreed with a lot of what Mr. Hill had to say, but I'll take him 100% of the time over his predecessor, Tom "Great Sable Stag" LaPille.
Wizards also does not balance eternal formats by printing card, but by banning them. Its been said many times that they dont want to create new OP cards to fix old OP cards.
Didn't they print Mental Misstep with Eternal formats mostly in mind?
As a lighthearted fan of the rapper and sanger Tech Nine, I am pleased that the people of Kansas City USA are the first ones to get this wonderful service. However, I am displeased with current cable companies deliberately holding back download speeds up until this point; I believe 11MB/sec has been our household's (I live in a church) speed for a minimum of the past eight years, and the monthly bill has only gone up since enactment. In light of recent Internet-based sorrow (SOPA, PIPA, BABIP, SLG, OBP, OPS, etc.), this is certainly a very positive thing for the community. Now, if only American car companies would stop deliberately lowering their vehicles' MPG...
Totally and completely agree 1000%. The issue here besides this being an unfathomable tragedy for those involved (and those not) is the reason a 24 yr old would end his life (He isn't dead, but he will have no quality of life what so ever.) and the life of 12 other people this way.
One does not simply wake up one morning and decide to walk into a movie theater in body armor while armed with an Ak-47 and tear gas. Something drove this person to doing this and I am extremely pissed off at the human race for failing to realize that this person needed help before he ever reached this point. After the school shootings only a few miles from where I live in Chardon I've grown really sensitive over anything like this because it can ALWAYS be prevented.
@TRTK: If you cannot live a lifestyle to the fullest extent, why bother doing so at all?(This is not meant to be antagonistic, I am genuinely curious).
If the snake's venom doesn't penetrate my skin and enter my bloodstream, veganism is dying in a way; I can no longer preach and spread my message (and krav maga; I am a practitioner of krav maga after all) to the other kids in an educational and cathartic manner in an effort to contort and manipulate their views so that they as well will consider becoming vegans. In addition, define "living vegan to its fullest extent". Ever since my grandmother informed me of the principles and showed me the holistic (for lack of a better term) beauty associated in living sovereignly, yet still side-by-side with animals, I've always defined it as prevention of animal suffering due to unnecessary human vices; this case in point would not necessarily fall under that paradigm. Until unnatural snake venom becomes readily available, I shall begrudgingly utilize the serpent's natural elixir at the behest of some of the other kids.
I opened a decent enough pool, including an Ajani, and went 2-2. Nothing too out of the ordinary, aside from one guy who killed me quite handily with Jace and Sands of Delirium (and then afterward showed me he had three Jaces and two Sands).

Suggesting that harmful criminal activity towards children is of benefit to them is trolling. Warning issued.

On topic even though I don't care: No.
There can be no intrinsic cognizant evil?
