How many paid breaks do you get at work?

Hourly here 1 30 minute unpaid lunch that some of us just skip so we can go home early 1 break that I think it supposed to be 10 or 15 minutes but 30 minutes tends to be the norm. Sort of depends on the job and who I am working with.

Am I cheap?

Cabling Questions

I'm curious, how is stranded cable easier to work with? I don't even see how you'd punch them down in the jacks. Plus the solid cable tends to tangle up real easy when you're dealing with hundreds of cables, I can't even imagine how bad the stranded stuff would be to work with in these...

Yep, coffee and to a lesser extent energy drinks make me poo if I havent gone already that day. It sucks during the week since I cant drink coffee in the morning (Not a big fan of pooing outside my house) and there are some days where I could really use the caffeine jolt. On the other hand its...

who put the morons in charge of the NFL

How accurate are ratings anyways? They just take a sample and then do some math. I would think they would be able to get a better count if people are buying tickets or walking through the turnstyles Anyways, I think professional sports leagues are trying to bleed all the fun out of the games.
