I guess that'd be a good way to figure it out, lol.
I don't have the blood type on my birth certificate and I don't recall seeing it on my kids'.

You guys are tempting me to make an Obama birth certificate joke, aren't you?

I have no idea what my blood type is other than I'm a "universal donor". I guess I'll never know what type I am until I need some extra blood.

Just found out there's a new drug in Russia that literally eats away your flesh. Checked a few links on Youtube and now I feel sick. I'm having trouble to keep my food down. What is wrong with these people!?...

Oh yeah, the drug is called Krokodil. Because when you start using it you start looking like someone that's been attacked by a crocodile. Again, you can take that literally...

Check the links at your own risk. But I warn you, this shit is sickening and very graphic. Very...

They are Youtube links with an age restriction. With good reason...

I remember hearing about this awhile ago. You die within 2 years of constant usage. I wonder if it will spread across to other countries?

The drug has already been found in Germany in Frankfurt and the Ruhr area. So yeah, it's coming to Europe.

Scary shit I tell you...

It sounds scary. People getting addicted to it without knowing could/will be a big problem.

Ticked - so after a shitty day at work my boss calls in a frantic. He told me that I have to go back to the office and destroy every copy of the sales directory that I recently updated. One of the new managers went to HR with a copy and claimed I was trying to start a union - At my company, forming unions is a fire-able offense. So I have a meeting with HR first thing in the morning that determines if I get to keep my job. The sales directory is simply a list of all the sales reps and their phone numbers for our support teams. Without having this we cant really do our jobs.

To give you a best allusion I can, being branded as trying to form a union in my company is much like being branded a communist in 60s Hollywood (watch the Majestic for possibly the best explanation there is of this). Meaning that their are really three options here:
1. Fired
2. Asked to quit (possibly severance package)
3. Still have a job, but have a major stigma attached to me, so I cant get another job in another department.
My boss is going to meet with HR before I get to work tomorrow to try and win some support, but this is a really shitty thing to happen. I really dont think I will be able to sleep tonight. Despite it being a shitty job, Ive been there for five years and midway through next year I get a huge bonus. Which I was planning on using for a chunk of a new car or a house. And now Ive hurt my right hand.

Smiled - Because of this shitty arrangement, either way it goes, I definitely get to go to my friends wedding north of Miami next weekend. I was going to have to work Friday and make the 12 hour drive down Friday night for the midday Saturday wedding. But even if I have my job, Im taking the day off - I was going to work because my boss is going to be out of town, but not after this. I already asked the day off and was going to work to help the new manager, the one that is trying to start stuff with HR.
