To the douche with big news on Wedneaday. Just stop. Let's have a gentleman's agreement not to have this bullshit.

No way the union comes back before a holiday weekend and this month. Company won't allow it as it will be too complicated to reinstate benefits for the last few days of the month. Here is to hoping the union and Verizon come their senses in early... — read more
