K_Kinnison Posted December 22, 2001 Share Posted December 22, 2001 for anyone who ahs worked retail from the time after thanksgiving to Christams eve, knows what i mean. the commercialisum of Christmas "giveing and reciving" is still going stong, even after reports of recession. Nwo granted i spend about $50 each for the people on my christmas list. But in know was was it to make them fel guilty on getting me a small present. i did it out of the Love of what my LORD has given me. and the blessings i have recived. Anywaz, working at UPS was VERY tiring. I was starting work at 3:00 am in the morning, and getting done with what we call "The sort" at 8:30am. At the End of the the sort, all the drivers trucks are loaded, and crammed with packages both for merchants, businesses, and residents. One of my drivers had a helper thruout the peak season. That was me. SO after i got with the sort, i rushed bakc home, got my brown uniform on, and helped my drier deliver packages for 3-5 hours. i did not have much time for anything else... even to eat. It was what i could grab, and i barley had time to clean my cloths. Sleep, work sleep work. I was so tired at the end of the day, i would even go to bed without supper, and hope i was able to eat enought calories to sustain myself. I suffered a cold, diarreha, and numerous boughts of an upset stomach. Thankfully it is over now. now i am able to focus on what christmas really is about.. the birth of our savior, and fufilment of God's promise of salvation from sin peace be will you all, and have a very merry christmas.

Zargon Posted December 24, 2001 Share Posted December 24, 2001 Main Entry: ain't Pronunciation: 'Ant Etymology: contraction of are not Date: 1778 1 : am not : are not : is not 2 : have not : has not 3 : do not : does not : did not -- used in some varieties of Black English usage Although widely disapproved as nonstandard and more common in the habitual speech of the less educated, ain't in senses 1 and 2 is flourishing in American English. It is used in both speech and writing to catch attention and to gain emphasis You sure about that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rogue Nine Posted December 24, 2001 Share Posted December 24, 2001 It's actually more grammatically correct than "aren't". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rogue Nine Posted December 28, 2001 Share Posted December 28, 2001 Methinks it's a Canadian/European holiday that has something to do with boxing and wrapping things and actually has nothing to do with the sport of boxing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
