I'm glad California has spoiled me enough to say I can't wait to get back to a proper city and out of this hick town. I'm so spoiled that when I moved to California I thought this town was awesome. Three years later and it's total ugh.

Vendetta “a prolonged and bitter feud” is a borrowing from Italian, derived from Latin vindicta “vengeance,” from vindex “defender,” which is also the source of avenger, revenge, vengeance, and vindicate. Vindex is likely a compound of vīs “energy, force” and the agentive suffix -dex, roughly meaning “shower, proclaimer.” Vīs is the source of vim (as in the phrase vim and vigor), violate, and violent—all of which literally pertain to a demonstration of strength or force—while the suffix -dex is related to the verbs dicāre “to proclaim, assign” (compare abdication, dedicate, and predicament) and dīcere “to say, tell” (compare dictionary, valedictorian, and verdict). Vendetta was first recorded in English in the early 1850s.

As a salaried employee when I worked extra it was not for love of the company or fear of my job. I got comp time and later on when they could not do that then I got overtime.
Management employees at a low level were expected to sacrifice everything else when the company called. Forget family. Forget time to rest. Forget friends. The company wants you (and will keep track if you don't submit).
It still smells like crap.
But at least it's not a general public solicitation.
