This doesn't make any sense to me. When I worked for Home Depot corporate in the 90's, you were required to work on a store for one week. I thought it was an annual thing. Did they drop the requirement?

I should point out that by the end, I hated my job and the culture, and was so ready to leave. After Bernie and Arthur left, the place really went down hill

I grew up reading his early works in the 80's and beyond. Well written, novel themes, sometimes fucked up beyond belief. It's obvious he did lots of drugs.

Recommended.

Got a friend who got his CDL and drives a school bus in the morning and afternoon. It came with benefits and mediocre pay. And lots of unruly kids!

When I visited Italy for the first (and last) time a few years back, I kept thinking the same!

Lol. Yes, people do still build systems and store plain text passwords. I regularly get scammers sending me my throwaway passwords from crappy sites. Good thing I never reuse passwords, or email addresses.
