Not to mention, sometimes you even got snowed in for 14 days or more! Oh wait....

Nevermind. Limo cats for everyone!

Ok listen here, I am just tired of working two jobs, running myself into the ground and not getting paid anything.
If I am working this hard and yes I am working hard, I was at BBB this morning from 9-12:30 and have to be at my other job by 3 today and I work till 11pm, I do this till Friday. This should be paying off so much more than it is. I should be making so much more money than I am making this is absolutely ridiculous that I don't have any more money than I do that this isn't paying off any more than it is.

I have worked EVERY SINGLE DAY for like the past two weeks, I don't get much sleep. Tonight I have to be at my new job till a little after 11pm and then go home sleep and be back at BBB at 9am.

If I had one day off, if I was making like $10/hr at each job, if it was paying off and benefiting me and not draining me and making me miserable then it would be worth it.

Sorry, but my husband was doing this every day for about a month a bit back. You signed up for it, so stop complaining. I mean constant days of working from 7 am to midnight. Also, he had to drive an hour each morning to get there and an hour each night to get back home. You seem to complain too much to be a cop. It's a tough job, too.

Become an ultrasound tech, or a manicurist, or something. But don't expect to be handed a good paying job for no reason.
Hey, I work retail and don't feel that I deserve to be paid better. Frankly, I often think that I'm paid too much. It really takes no skills.

Not a particularly snowy continent where I grew up.

The first thing I thought of was an LOLcat - you know of the I can has cheezburger variety. Which put an odd image into my head.
But maybe a Limo cat is a kind of snow machine/mobile?

Maybe not, but you've been snowed in for over 14 days now, according to your status.

Limo cats don't have anything to do with getting snowed in, BTW.

I just thought we all should have one. And a limo to put it in. Because we deserve the best.

Sorry for the non sequitur. I got a new job today and I'm feeling a bit loopy.
