Got pissed after reading the newsletter from where I work. In it, they're begging for donations of things like water fountains, computers, roof repairs(I don't recall the roof being damaged). It even lists the prices for such things.

Also in it, my boss(the crooked bastard who writes the newsletter) says that we don't receive funds from the government, any businesses, or any church denomination(bullshit on all three counts), and puts in a story about how a 12-year-old girl ran a lemonade stand to raise $12 for us, and how another young girl broke open her piggy bank. This guy, who I've already said owns a large two-story house, has written stuff that's near-libel before, too.

...lthough I'm slightly worried from damage from the propellant of the compressed air I blasted it with.

A little late on this, but that stuff is fine.  That's what those things are pretty much for.  Though you are supposed to fire it off in short bursts, so the stuff dosn't get cold from some thermal science-y stuff I never paid attention to.
Adiabatic expansion. As a gas expands, it retains the same thermal energy, but the temperature is thermal energy per unit of volume, so the temperature goes down. The effect is strong enough to cause the carbon dioxide from a CO2 fire extinguisher to become solid.

So that's how it works... I had been wondering about that.

Still doesn't explain why the bottom of the canister is always freezing cold, recently used or not.
I dunno, but the can warns against getting the liquid propellant on your skin because of frostbite risk.

Y'know, local investigative reporters are always looking for things like this. Just saying, could be uncomfortable for the guy if a reporter was to read that and be inspired to go actually fact-check the claims and then make a story out of it.

Do it.  Let the media roast him over a spit.  Of course, that's just me.  I hate seeing anyone suffer like you have at that job, I'd want to do almost anything to shake things up and hopefully improve the situation.

Time of the exam was confirmed, from 14:00 'till 16:00 which means I can't catch the early afternoon bus, only the one that leaves at 18:00, this means I'll be comming home around 21 or even later.


Things just keep turning out the way I expect them all of a sudden, and I keep expecting the wrost shit.

Unfortunately, it would probably result in the organization going down, me losing my job there, which would result me being thrown out on the streets, requiring me to rely on such an organization to survive.

Unlike quite a few people, I do try to examine the consequences of my actions more than five minutes ahead of time.

Dude, your best option still is get out of that state. How you do it is up to you: random bro on the internet hooks you up, join the military, etc....

That possibility did in fact occur to me. However, from the sound of things, this guy is using a charity as a front for his own personal little piggy bank. Embezzlement sounds like a high probability here. Is the guy the founder and sole board member of the charity? Cause if not, there's no reason the charity need go down just because the director (or whatever he is) gets busted. Continuing to let him slavedrive y'all and profit from it isn't going to accomplish much either.

Unfortunately stupid bosses continue being stupid bosses, because their employees have no other real options. Quite frankly, this is why society is inequitable: we demand other people sacrifice for our moral standards. This guy loses his job; no one will help him.

Also, once a charity gets busted for some fraud, the brand name is ruined. It will either go down, or take a serious hit.

I just heard the doorbell ring.

When i opened it, all i saw was a Vendetta mask and a note saying

"Anonymous FTW"

...

Huh?!

Fuck it, ONE time griefer and i manage to get the Anonymous to notice me and attempt to get me to join them.

I may just end up going onto their "Facebook Clone" to troll the trolls.

Arrrghhhh, on the way to the humane society pet shelter to get a new cat. The car I'm in suddenly runs out of gas and we have to pull over to the side of the highway. After trying to start the car for a couple minutes, I have to get up and walk a few miles along with my mother to a gas station to get gas. We ask them for a gas can so we can bring the gas back to the car, and they say they need something as "collateral" besides ID.

So we give them our only phone as collateral since that was the only thing we had, and we walked another few miles back to the car. Then once we finally get to the car and put the gas in, the battery dies. We then have to walk back again, but luckily a stranger picks us up and drives us to the gas station.

We then call someone to pick us up, and wait another hour to get home. I swear, this shit always somehow happens to me when I'm about to go somewhere.
