	Equal Pay Act 9:25 am-Turk Comments (6) Show » Bad Hotel Permalink Equal Pay Act: The Equal Pay Act of 2003 prohibits employers with four or more employees from paying unequal wages to men and women for doing the same or substantially similar work, requiring equal skill, effort, and responsibility, under similar working conditions for the same employer in the same county, except if the wage difference is based upon a seniority system, a merit system, a system measuring earnings by quantity or quality of production, or factors other than gender. So I make 8.75 and two new hires make over 1.25 more than me. Does anyone think that the above law applies to my situation? I think it does. Guess what? The people at the Illinois Department of Labor think so as well: Audio clip: Adobe Flash Player (version 9 or above) is required to play this audio clip. Download the latest version here.

So either I get a raise or the new ladies get a pay cut? Either way it only seems fair.

	Superman Died! 10:54 pm-Turk Comments (0) « Hide Default Permalink This bit of news is kinda sad. It’s really fucked up that Superman is dead. To me Christopher Reeve is Superman. I don’t care who else they get to fill the red and blue tights. That guy was Superman. And while I may not really be a huge fan of the DC Comics universe, I do have respect for Superman. I offer the theme song from the classic movie for listening below to honor this great actor (Superman!). Audio clip: Adobe Flash Player (version 9 or above) is required to play this audio clip.

	On The Road Again 9:23 pm-Turk Comments (0) « Hide Default Permalink I’m out the door as soon as I finish this post, I’m off to Sycamore Illinois for about a week and then who knows? I didn’t really do much this weekend. I got to see the Izers and tried to go out drinking with my brother. But as usual the guy didn’t call me. He is embarrassed to go out drinking with me. He thinks I will make fun of him in front of his friends. And speaking of drinking I tried to get a hold of Kevin, and had no luck. You will have to listen to this answering machine message first.

Played 7 Times Then I’ll tell you why this guy is such a putz. And don’t get the wrong idea. Me and this guy have been through a lot. I mean it as a sign of affection. He tells me in this message to give him a call. This just shows what a smart ass he is. The guy (to my knowledge) doesn’t have a phone yet. He uses his cell phone and I don’t have that number. What can you do? Hopefully we can catch up sometime this weekend and drink some brewskies. So I’m off. As per the usual with me being out of town you can get a hold of me through the spider_jerus@hotmail.com address. I catch you all later. And let me know if you found the answering machine wav funny and I might put up some others.
