really horrible (but totally funny) bananaphone flash movie

Meh just a personal pet peeve thing I have. I just believe you should have pride in whatever job you are doing. Just do it to the best of your abilities and just be happy you have a job. Mainly don't keep on asking for money when you don't deserve it. This company did pay for my car and other stuff. This world sadly revolves around money. Will see what happens next.

Company Loyalty. What's the incentive to have company loyalty when the people who don't have company loyalty come out ahead? Sure company loyalty was important in past generations, but nowadays it just holds you back from other opportunities. Quite often you'll see the guy who's been working at some place for 40 years making only a small amount more than the kid who just started. This is because the raises didn't stay ahead of the inflation/starting wages. Company loyalty is now exploited, so why bother?

not in this job market, Albert... just about anyone can get whatever they want... sure it's more difficult in non-directly-related-to-the-oilmutherfucker-industries but it's still happening... your former coworker will not be out of work for long.

besides, what's the company doing for you anyway? is it a worthwhile endeavour to have company loyalty?

Bagebus we just lost another guy today! Actually we lost him a couple weeks ago but it wasn't well publicized that he was let go. Money issues basically. Man all these young guys are asking for a lot! Doesn't anyone have company loyalty anymore?

I'm glad to see Torres still in the mix and not being dangled as trade bait. Those could potentially be some killer lines.

You Are Homer Simpson

You're just an ordinary, all-American working Joe... With a special fondness for pork rinds and donuts. You will be remembered for: your little "isms" and philosophies on life Your life philosophy: "Weaseling out of things is important to learn. It's what separates us from the animals ... except the weasel."

Paras, I am the resident buzzkill, not you... it's my job to pull the rug out from under all the hopeful people... glaring hole in the blueline...


and as for myspace, i did it so i could rant to random strangers

More from the nebulous world of Oilers training camp, and recent acquisition Petr Sykora:

Three's a charm for Petr Sykora.

His hat trick in yesterday's scrimmage certainly charmed the pants off a sold out Coca-Cola Centre.

Taking feeds from linemates Raffi Torres and Ales Hemsky, the newly acquired Oiler stole the show on Day 2, pacing his side to a 5-2 victory over a White team that included Ryan Smyth, Shawn Horcoff, Fernando Pisani, Alexei Mikhnov and Rob Schremp.

"It was just one of those days that everything goes in,'' said Sykora, who scored all three of his markers on one-timers past Jeff Drouin-Deslauriers.

Why do you think so many people have myspace pages?
