I tried to shop at officemax, they are $20-50 more expensive on most anything than office depot and have no one there to help find things in their confusing layout of a store.

Lost Customer.

I now only shop them for office supplies we'll use and where I make money - combining the 100% rebate, OfficeMaxPerks for Teachers, mileage mall (usually PriorityClub), and credit card rebates is ^

That doesn't constitute abuse - that's a norm. If you pick up a copy of each newspaper and fill your bag with Biscoffs, then you might be talking abuse.

Done grading until next Monday Well, there's extra credit due tomorrow (the single opportunity for students) but so few actually complete the task as it requires one to read an article and learn something new ...

Although my agency is closed today, our gym is supposedly open. Time to get a workout in before taking the ancient beast (1998 Ford) in for a free oil change. Yes, Firestone put coupons for free oil changes in our city's fundraiser coupon book (so I bought more than one book at $20). ^

The ATRs CO flew back in the day were not nearly that uncomfortable.
I know it was a few years between me riding an AA ATR and a CO ATR but I remember the AA's having less awful seats. There was something on the floor of the CO ones that drove me nuts.

I remember the CO ATR-42s having seats that reclined, and having just enough pitch I could sit normally with my feet under the seat in front of me. The AA ATR-72 I flew last night had neither of those features, and I would have been SOL if the flight had been full and someone had to sit next to me. I never flew any of the ATR-72s that CO flew (those were mostly based at EWR when they had them), and it's quite possible that the CO -72 was more similar to the plane I flew last night than the -42s I used to fly out of IAH.

Wait until the new Box smell wears off and we all go blind from the putrid color choices.
