Damn, now I feel guilty for reducing my use of disposable paper products in order to protect the planet. #americandisposables

I've been there. I worked for a company that sent its manufacturing to Mexico. Round after round of layoffs. People being called into the office and coming out crying. Always worrying that you'd be next. The last of us finally got the axe on Christmas Eve. Merry fucking Christmas. Fortunately for me I ended up getting a much better job, but it was horrible to go through. I feel for them and everybody that's out of work. #americandisposables

@token_illiterate_commenter: Christmas frikkin' Eve??? They couldn't just wait 'till the New Year to lay people off? Disgusting...

I'm very glad you got to fall up though. #americandisposables

Poor Ware. My mother is from Ware, and that town has always been struggling. That area of Mass always seems to be on the brink of total eradication, never seeming to keep up with times. They're pulling for a casino in nearby Palmer for jobs. Sad that it's come to that. #americandisposables

Pictures like this remind me that I really shouldn't complain about my job and that I should be grateful to have one.

@CurtCole: Hell, even pictures of thriving factories remind me of that fact (esp. after I worked on an assembly line one summer in college). Plus, jobs that allow us to take Jeze-breaks are kind of automatically awesome, aren't they?

@Kivrin: There is nothing like a summer job on an assembly line to make one appreciate having the opportunity to attend college. #americandisposables

@CurtCole: Hrm... whilst I understand coming from that viewpoint I believe complaining about your job is your responsibility as a worker. If you don't complain it allows the big-wigs to take advantage. #americandisposables
