How much do you think they get paid? Last I heard they don't get paid too much more than the minimum wage.

Right ... plus time pressure: We have some mail delivery companies in our country that deliver packages so hurriedly, they often don't even bother to ring a door bell, just place packages wherever convenient for them, and then hurry off to their next destination. Some of these services are used by high-profile companies like Apple, that's why I'll never purchase stuff from Apple Germany again ... (an expensive package almost got lost, and I got it only by accident!!) -- Apple = sweat shop supervisors :thumbsdown:

Ya, A fedex dude took off one day when he was supposed to pick up my HP because I didn't hear the bell ring. I took it to the shop the next day, I wasn't waiting for him to come again because when it hit 7 PM the next day, he didn't show up. He was supposed to be there by 6PM. Oh well.

That would have ticked me off. Apple seems will be having a bunch of the United postal services running around in the next two weeks or so. All those pre-orders for the iPhone 5.:eek:

Not much, my daughter is going home at 5 PM. Going to take her bike riding, and my sister outside the house for about an hour. I can't watch any football because my girlfriend has the TV, and plus, I can't watch the Patriots play unless I go to the bar. I've just been following the game on Twitter. @patriotsinsider has been tweeting about each play, and touchdown. So that works as well.
 
My weekends are almost always busy, this was no exception..lol
I'm upgrading a clients site right now to the latest 4.2.x
They have over one million post, just down to updating two templates and I'm done! :)
 
Ugh, it's 5 AM and I need to go to bed. Luckily, I slept a few hours earlier today! ;)

You can do it though. Are you wearing knee braces? What's up with your knee?

Sore? Put some ice on it :D
