Where I read that and think,"Sign of the Apocalypse!"

My work leave stuff remains a nightmare. Apparently, even though the leave papers never state this, I am supposed to turn it in not only to the office listed (Personnel Services) but also to another office (Certificated Personnel Service!) that isn't listed. I got a call from CPS and was told I was missing documentation. The woman became increasinly snipy and condescending and I wanted to bop her. Then I broke in and said, "I'm so sorry. If I had known you needed the same paperwork, I would have made sure you had gotten it. The forms never say anything like that though." Then she got all nice and said an apology wasn't necessary.

Funny how an apology makes other backpedal.

Can you get information on financial planning at a law library? For example, if you're looking to get information on protecting assets in the case where one spouse has a terminal illness.

You know those "write your own will" kits? I'm not a probate lawyer, but I've never heard anything bad about them. I think they're available at bookstores and may be of help.

Hell, they're available at Kinkos.

Years ago I worked here [link] and alongside the menu for lattes and mochas, there was a menu for estate planning, divorces, traffic tickets and such. Their Heather's Hash is named after me.

Thanks for the info! In terms of the financial planning, I was hoping to go to the reference desk at a law library and have them point me to specific resources, referral services, etc. Not get actual advice from them per say. This is for both a library school assignment (ask a question at the ref desk and write up your experience) and my own knowledge (question about financial planning for GF's parents). So, is there any other type of library (other than law or public) that might have that kind of info?

referral services, etc.

This is the part that even public law libraries might not have. Is this in CA? If so, I would try here: [link]

If not, let me know what state, and I might be able to find you the equivalent.

Paging paperdol:

This happened a couple of days ago, but my first thought was, "AWW!! Chrismukkah comes early to paperdol's house!" [link]

I just had the most surreal conversation with the NY Times customer service people, who honestly seemed to think that I shouldn't assume we weren't going to get our papers today, even though we haven't gotten our papers today, or any other day since August 8th.

Thank you, Lee! They are in CA.

So, I know Buffistas would be amused by this headline on Huffington Post:

Tokyo Stocks Plunge As Asian Markets Continue To Flounder

Um.... I believe the word you're looking for is "founder."
