Hello there, fellow Giantbombers!
 
I return with a similar blog post to one I have made before - because I am in a similar predicament. I made a new comedy sketch for youtube - a rather random bout that details the life of two boys who gain useless superpowers. Anyway, I would like for people to get some laughs out of this if they are into it and help me out by providing views and any comments that they feel necessary. 
 
I'm just doing this for fun really on a budget of $0, but I am a Media Theory and Production (MTP/MIT) student at Western U...
 
 

Yeah sorry to all those who thought I meant like chicken pot pie because that would be disgusting.
 
I just meant any fruit pie - it's basically like having flavoured whip cream ontop of your pie... as someone said it just compliments the fruit. Great combination I think...

Well, OnLive is out there right now. I suspect that will gain some momentum somewhere along the line - or another company will make something similar that works in a more efficient manner.

" Perfect. An article full of speculation based on little to no actual information. HURRY, WRITE A NEWS STORY! WE NEED CLICKS! MAKE SURE TO TELL PEOPLE TO CLICK AFTER THE JUMP TOO!!! "

" funny stuff. stupid people that do nothing at work while other people are doing their job. i think every job has this kind of person out there. "

Typically these places are too far away from my town (other than coffee shops) to warrant staying after like a 30 minute drive. I'd rather just stay around my home where I have a substantial book collection already from my father - also a coffeemaker. 
 
But yeah if I had to make a choice, I'd go with bookstore since they usually have both and the environment is more peaceful...

Seems like the 2 choices go hand in hand now - coffee plus a book is alright. But I don't know if I'd spend my night there... perhaps a part of the day. Night life is something else...

" Well, legally you never have to sign anything.  But, if you are going to sign something take the time to read it.  If they will not let you read it then don't sign.  Just because someone has seniority or is a supervisor doesn't mean you have to sign anything they give you.  Worst come to worst, a union rep comes to the store and explains the situation to you.    However, if this employee is not working tell a supervisor.  Just curious, is the guy in question your store's union representative? "

I don't really care much about this, but the other guy at my work seemed to care a lot more. It really wasn't a big deal, but it was more just my curiosity that leads me to asking this question (also so I can deny him for the next time).
 
So I work at No Frills (grocery store) during the summer which is part of a Union. I do my job fine there, and had had experience at another store during the previous summer. Anyway, this guy there who had been there since morning on this particular shift (much the same had happened last Tuesday as well) - was doing barely anything in our department. I was taking out cart fulls of items each time to put on the floor, while he puts out one item at a time - barely making a difference.
 
The thing is that he has been in the union longer than me - thereby having seniority. Now that's not really the issue although he made me angry for doing almost no work - which made me miss a break and work a straight 7 hours before having a 15 minute breather (I know it's an easy job but it's an annoyance)... well he came up to me with this to-do list. It was stuff I already do everytime I close, and that is quite routine.
 
But he asks me to sign it... just a simple to-do list - he asks for my signature and says that he will photocopy it as well. I said, "Is this required by the union or are you just making me sign something for your sake?"
 
He suddenly got all anxious and angry, saying that he will call in union reps to lecture me etc. (me thinking that he is over exaggerating the whole circumstance) Eventually he went to a manager who just said - he's just asking for your understanding to sign the note. I just signed it to shut him up really.
 
I couldn't really find any information on this - but is there anything that actually binds me to sign such a stupid thing? I mean within the union?
 
It's really not a big deal, but I am pretty sure there is nothing that binds me to sign just a to-do list that a senior employee made. Would be at least good to know if someone could help? I'd like to throw this douche a quick one two. :p

I would have taken a picture but the bowl became empty before I had the chance to grab a camera.
