I mean I've been with my company, headquartered here in Houston Texas, for just about 10 years. All I have is 176 hours of PTO a year, a fully vested 401K with a 7% match, 11 paid holidays, and an outrageous $76 biweekly health insurance premium. Them MF'ers. But, all things the same we did have two reportable accidents ... three years ago. Not to bad for a company of mostly offshore workers, not a single reportable incident this year.
Well ... it gets worse from there. From here I have to drive to Champions Forest which is ... get this of all the f'd up toxic waste, ohh wait ... the entire community is a bird sanctuary.

Them women gots it bad though, our mayor is one of those women hatin ... ohh, Snap ... no she's an openly lesbian very popular mayor.
It is Texas though, and if you think it's hot now just wait a couple more weeks and then we'll talk. I work in an unairconditioned shop in the middle of the Foreign Trade Zone by the big airport. Ohh damn, a zone? WTF!!
Where is it that you stay that has all of things that Texas has destroyed? I mean our National parks are just a measly 675,000 acres, and our state parks (many of which are wildlife refuges) only come to 586,501 acres. That's over a millions acres of park land ... and we did not even talk about the lakes and rivers.
