Jilli--dont' read the whitefont!

So it seems that two HUGE, NASTY, HAIR spiders have taken up residence on our front porch. Building large and elaborate webs. I'm incredibly freaked out and DH is refusing to evict them. I'm scared to go out and check the mail. This is going to end soon.

ION, I think I need to cut out the tags on Owen's shirts. He's started tugging on the tags and now takes them off whenever I'm not looking. I suspect tag itch.

Also, in unrelated news, boys are confusing.

It's because they're made of stoopid.

(no offense intended to boys present, they have clearly overcome their impairment)

Well, the company S works for (a non-profit org) runs this program.

Ah. That's less disturbing. But honestly, they should be making renovations to the building to meet the security needs of the program without sacrificing the convenience of their other employees. Really.

What about the standard 15 min. break for every four hours worked, plus at least 30 min. for lunch if you're there for six hours?

Breaks over and above the meal break are not mandatory, but if they are provided, are paid time, unlike the meal.

Coming in late, but adding a thought on the vacation issue. Vortex's contact may have referred to that statute as "the statute in MA on employee compensation." And, since it's silent on vacation issues, there's in effect no statute in MA on vacations.

But that's just my theory.

the lock down thing sounds really bad.

Haven't heard from DH since he went into work. Hopefully thismeans he has found something that is working and that by the end of today he has a good handle about what is going on. I just want this to go way smoother than he expects it to. and as a bonus, I want his co to recognize him for the BigDamnhero that he is, and not be stupid. Sadly, that might be a dream .

Matt deserves an award, beth. I hope things are going ok for him.
