[QUOTE="ColdPenguin, post: 1553482, member: 56001"] Well, if you do something, that must mean everyone else is capable of and should do the same thing. Makes sense to me. Your grades must be :censored:e. And, obviously whether or not that's true, you're going to come back with, "I have a 4.0 GPA." Or whatever such and such GPA. And, even if that were true, *I* can't do it. I've tried. Thus this question. I'll just ask my FT. He's pretty chill anyway, so he probably will. Sounds like you want to work when it's convenient for u.[/QUOTE] Damn right. Do you say the same to union members wanting increased benefits? What would have happened if the people who unionized just said, "Oh, well, this is what we're offered, so we should just take it and man up and shut up about anything that helps us with our lives." I go for what I want and what works best for me. Is that really a bad thing? I don't know how pretty much everyone here can just switch it up like it's the worst imaginable thing possible for me to want to work 4 days a week. What if I said the same about everyone wanting dental? "Oh, you just want benefits because they're beneficial to you." Ummm. Yeaaaah. Thing is, not only is it beneficial to me, it's beneficial to the hub, because I won't feel like I'm forced to work 5 days a week. If that turns out to be the case, I'll just start hardly doing anything like most of the other loaders. Take my time, and not bust my ass like I do now.
