Work problems are the worst, but are you sure there’s no other way to fight back in your current situation?

Sure, entrepreneurship is not without its risks. But how you utilize your contacts, your networks, and initial engagements can help minimize that risk.
For 81MC, I'd probably ask if a subcontracting model is possible. That's a good start.
The gig economy is worth exploring for those interested.

Have you tried being independently wealthy? That way you don't have to rely on anyone for a job and don't have to worry about the risk/stress of entrepreneurship.

If you're ever having a bad day just sign Locke up for a couple of Uline accounts and you'll feel better.

I hate you guys!
Seriously! We bitch and moan about Carbon Taxes to save the environment and there is a company out there mailing out giant goddamned catalogues!
Even the Yellow Pages knew it was time to call it an existence, but not goddamned Uline!
Uline catalogues should be crime against humanity.
There are villages in Africa that consume fewer global resources than one round of Uline catalogues.
One day I am going to find whoever is responsible for these things and beat them to death with a Uline catalogue.

If you find it, let me know. I've tried calling them, I've tried 'return to sender' I've tried everything short of faking my own death.
And if you wonder why I'm seemingly unreasonably pissed off about Uline catalogues...I dont even get one.
The three businesses who were in my unit before I moved in do.
A defunct pet photography business, a bankrupt dollar store and a failed Jewish grocery store.
I got news for ya Uline...they aint buying JACK!

Speeking of wasted paper how do you stop flyers from coming to a house? I'm watching my parents place for the winter and these things go straight in the recycling.

I put a sticker on my mailbox that says "no flyers please" and I don't get flyers.

The Uline catalogue is free packing material for many, many businesses.

I dunno who is attempting to hack into my CP account, or what they plan to do with this were they able to get past my 238 character password, but could you maybe knock it off? Thanks.
FYI, yes, it's just CP, but it's also a criminal offense and I've been gathering your IP addresses to report to Telus. So keep ####ing around and find out.
