I'm not too sure if other cities have the dibs winter parking system
The city gets very cranky about it. I don't know that it is illegal per se, but they don't call it legal. So you can't call them to get them to enforce your chair/vacuum/dead potted plant barricade.

It would be really nice to get a bonus this year. I hadn't really realized how bad our finances were until I took over the home finances. Between gifts and travel, I don't think there will be enough money to pay all the bills this month.

A client just told me it was nice hearing my voice again. I'm sure he meant it as a benign compliment, but yo, I'm a little weirded out, here.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.
One of the juries I was on a couple of years ago was for a civil trial in which an ex-employee of a company was suing for his end-of-year bonus, which amounted to about 1/4 of his pay for that year. The company claimed he had become officially unemployed on Dec. 8, and that the bonuses were only paid to employees of record as of Dec 15th.
Plaintiff claimed that it was done on purpose that way to save the company $20K, and his ex-boss did a very poor job of trying to claim otherwise.
There was more to it than that, of course, but the company was in the wrong, and they knew it, and the case should never have gone to trial.

If things are that tight, is there any way to cancel the travel? Unless it's already paid for, or something that will help you stay sane?
