Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Yeah, that has mass exodus written all over it, with more to come. Good luck with the resume.

Now tagless for your comfort.

Yikes. Rats leaving a sinking ship. Good luck, Kalshane.

More geese that lay the golden eggs than rats, I'm thinking.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

The ship is no good, I think we can agree on that.

It is a bad, bad ship. Much new, better, cool job-finding-ma to you, Kalshane.

Another thing I can definitely agree with.

I need to eat dinner.

hip deep in pie

Yes you do! Speaking as someone who only had dinner about an hour ago and was about to lose it if she was without food a second longer.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why? Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.

Thanks, all.

I've been looking through the employee manual (not a whole lot else to do right now, since I'm waiting for processes to finish so I can start backups and dayend procedures on assorted systems and phone sure as hell isn't ringing), and while the 8 hours of holiday pay don't count towards overtime pay, I should be getting paid time and a half for every hour over 8 I work in a given day, so I'm only technically working 44 hours this week, but 12 of those should count as overtime anyway. Plus the shift differential. So I should be getting 8 hours of holiday pay, plus 32 hours of regular pay, plus 12 hours of OT pay, plus a shift differential, according to that.

Of course, I'm still technically salary, so they don't have to pay me anything by the book. Shortly after they moved us to the help desk, they told us they'd be moving us to hourly, but 3 months later they still haven't done it.

I have a feeling I'm going to end up getting shafted.

The manual also says our supervisors are supposed to give us a tentative shift schedule a minimum of 2 weeks in advance. So they're blowing that one, too.
