(VA Governor) Governor Timothy Kaine, who has already made major cuts to university and community-college funding, said that the state’s shortfall in its two-year budget could triple, to about $3 billion, if the economy’s rapid decline continues. Kaine’s plan also calls for slashing 1,500 state jobs and increasing the cigarette tax. Tax revenues are down partly because of the falling real estate market and drops in retail sales revenue.

Good thing I quit smoking almost two years ago, and no longer work for the state, er, Commonwealth.

Haha, so the Lakers got revenge for getting embarassed in the Finals by winning a December game? That’s cute. Good for them.

I need to get an adequate set of golf clubs, and I have a gift card to go toward it, but do I brave the crowds to do something that I know will piss me off?

just saw enough comments on here to keep me away from the stores today. plus, i really dont need anything. if i told you guys how much i spent on clothes for myself this year, you’d laugh.

actual money out of my pocket, which doesn’t include gift cards from b-day, wedding or xmas, and it was definitely under $400. thats the cool thing about getting hitched and working from home – maybe the wife will buy you stuff, you dont need to get dressed up for work daily, and you dont need to get new cool gear to hit the bars and meet women

If I had to work on Christmas, I wasn’t taking shit from bitchy moms.

same here its already the worst day for retail workers and i wasnt about to compound my misery by getting into an argument about why i cant give you full return price w/out receipt

the worst are the people who shout at you because you cant give them cash only store credit or whatever

jay im married to a 1st-3rd grade special ed teacher i would bet she would agree with your statement 100%

Alabama closed some corporate tax loopholes and made cuts to colleges and universities.

Ahhh, that helps explain Gene Chizik

i did that in high school when i worked at american eagleâ€”worst days of my life

I recently discovered that teaching high school is a lot like working the return desk the day after Christmas–for 180 days a year.

/what the hell was I thinking?

Awesome. The things we put up with when we’re in High School. I worked at Sports Authority during Christmas and I remember not giving a shit. I would have taken back anything. This one lady was returning football cleats that looked like her son had worn for an entire season. They were grass-stained, the cleats were worn down a bit. They even looked like they had dog shit on them. I gave her the full return price. If I had to work on Christmas, I wasn’t taking shit from bitchy moms.
