oh wow....it was only a matter of time until Slim REALLY effed it up. Closed out goodguys...now compusa. I used to work at the one in vacaville then told them to eff off and left. It was a really ****ty company to work for and really shafted people...especially after killing off spiffs and your comission because I used to kill on that stuff
I know they closed sac, concord, and vacaville earlier this year. What did you do there and how long for?

btw - darren cobb was a jerk haha

Talk about making you feel worthless...



No, this is NOT saying that the soldiers themselves are worthless...because they're NOT.

This is talking about how the military treats the fine young men and women who sign up to serve.
