Haven't you heard? ever since the filipino take over of our country unemployment has sky rocketed.

Every new Tim Hortons that goes up comes custom built with a family of 20 from the Philippines

Yes, but you get more Ryan O'Reilly felony charges with Tim Hortons.

They must be a union IT shop they have network guys, phone/tablet guys, laptop guys, desktop guys, network guys and server guys.
The laptop guy couldn’t get the HTML application to run so he had to get the desktop guy. He wants to push software from the server so the server guy is now involved.
Three hours and I backread HB banged my head against the wall. Played enough phone app games my thumbs hurt.

Garrett Roe made the US roster.

Any chance USA/Canada get relegated?

I think fellow New Jerseyite Bobby Sanguinetti is also on the US roster.

Nothing like waiting for over an hour and a half for IT dept for a medical institution to meet me so I can install software with administrative rights. Only reminded the heirarchy three times I was here.
Gonna be an expensive service call.
Just in case you were all wondering why health care was so expensive.

I agree. If we can just 1) acquire David Pastrnak and Mark Stone without removing anything from our top-9, 2) have Patrick, Konecny, and Sanheim step up in the second half, 3) keep getting the same production from Giroux, Voracek, Couturier, Ghost, and Provorov, 4) avoid any injuries, and 5) Elliott gets hot...sure, we're contenders.

Let's get the parade planned!

My company had to abide by the new RoHS (Restriction of Hazardous Substances) directive that came out last July. My R&D department combed through every part (everything from huge panels to screws and washers) for every one of our products and released a list of all of our noncomformances that had to be fixed and then re-ordered. Production didn't really take notice until they started to miss shipments to the EU 3 months later.

That's when I learned that nothing matters to large corporations until the moment when it starts to cost them money.

Yeah, but that's CAD, so it's really only like $3 an hour.

Not sure if anyone cares, but there's a fan-made Harry Potter prequel coming out for free on Saturday that shows how the boy Tom Riddle became Voldemort. It looks pretty decent.
