If I search by typing into the URL box it always brings up Bing .... Serves me right for not using the Search box ....

just go to "google.com" and make it your home page..........

When you get there, click on "tools" "options" "main". In the box that says "when firefox starts, click on "show my home page"
then "use current pages".............

Does your search box show Google as the default search provider?

That's it. I've had it. I quit. There's just so much crying you can do over a student job. I can't stand the bickering, the badmouthing and the hypocrisy anymore. Combine to the fact that I'm underpaid. F*ck it.
I'm giving a three weeks notice, so I'll make it to july's rent. three longest weeks of my life, I guess.

Thank you for listening.

Yeah, the freakin' baking job. Now, I'm trying to keep this a happy place (MR) for me, so I don't really complain as much as I'd like too, but this place (work) is making my life a living hell. I love what I do, but I HATE the people I work with, they're all so mean! The last time I felt this way about a job, I went into a year of depression. It is not hapening again!!!!

Don't worry, I'll strop crying soon...

Leaving without a fight is not a good idea. If you fight them they'll have to fire you. That fight will be then noticed by governmental agencies such as the Employment ministry, and they'll be able to help you. If you don't you get nothing! Is your pride worth it?

Fight!
