I happened to meet up with our downstairs neighbor at the mailboxes this afternoon and got talking and started telling her about some of the ways in which we're treated like dogs at work - part timers especially, as some of them have been conned into working 39-hour weeks and not getting the benefits of a 40-hour worker, and forced to do seven hour shifts with only a fifteen minute break.  ("But they have to give them a break to eat!" she exclaimed.  Nope.  Seven hours of work, one fifteen minute break.) 

And then I walked out into the warm afternoon and the rapidly melting snow and thought to myself, "Midget strippers."  'Cause, y'know, they might treat us like dirt at work, but there are midget strippers out at our local redneck ballet tonight, and we intend to go see them. ;)  yaaaaaay!  *waves arms in the air like Kermit*  (*glances sideways at current music*)
