Good morning. Now I'm thinking of making chicken enchiladas today too. It was going to be stir fry but enchiladas have cheese.
And that's the reason I'm thinking of making them. laugh out loud

Yeah... stir fry with cheese doesn't sound so good. Smilie

The Kroger store brand enchilada sauce is my favorite I've found so far and I've tried quite a few. It's surprisingly good.
The last brand of enchilada sauce that I bought was Las Palmas and it was horrible. I was tricked by the Spanish on the label...I thought it would be more authentic than the gringo brands. Yuk

Now enchiladas sound good for din din. I've got the fixin's. Plus I made a big pot of frijoles the other day for J.

I'd die if I lived up there. I am ok with it the first or second time it snows...it's pretty, etc. After that, I just get sick of looking at it.
We're supposed to get 10 days of snow in the next 10 days in this part of MI

I can handle the snow (to an extent) but this farking -20 with the wind chill shit has to go!

I have to vent somewhere, and lucky you guys...you're chosen.

I am so farking pissed off right now. I've been hosting a financial show on saturday mornings for the past 2-3 months after they fired the previous person who did it. It was a "talent based" thing, which means it's not a part of my salary, I got paid about 10x the amount of what I get paid hourly to come in on a saturday morning and host this show. I didn't want to do it originally, was railroaded into it by our sales department because if I wouldn't have done it, they'd lose the client (and about $100k a year).

Back up to last week, my bosses (yes plural--I have like 4) tell me that the company is doing away with the "talent fees" for certain things, most notably to me, this saturday show. They want to pay the host their regular "hourly wage" to do it. I told them it wasn't worth it to me to do it then, as I would rather have the saturday off and not have to come in to work. They understood and agreed.

Fast forward to today, when I'm asked to meet with 2 of my bosses in one of their offices. They tell me they're changing my hours around and I need to only work 39 hrs during M-F so I can leave one hour available on Saturdays to work this show. No extra money, just "fark you, work 6 days a week". Needless to say I'm farking extremely pissed off about this, as it equates to about $5k a year that the company is ripping off from me. While that may not seem like much to some here that make a lot of money, I don't, and it's quite a big deal (as well as the farking principle).

Holy fark am I pissed. Blowup Blowup Blowup

That is really crappy, Mark! How very corporate of them. Mad Will they work it so you can work Tues-Saturday 40 hrs? That blows the whole weekend! Not to mention the extra cash they're cheating you out of.

I went to my OM after this all went down, after I cooled down for 20 mins laugh out loud , he said I either do what they have laid out, or quit, or I'd get fired if I didn't do what they ask.

Oh, and I would give them the absolute minimum!
