I agree, it's just.... well... just not part of my normal world. And feels... well... I dunno. All I do know is its really making me abuse (...) more than I normally do, so clearly its had a negative effect on my pysche.
This is a time of celebration, so sit still and be quiet.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

CNN has a link to the Tom Cruise video, I don't know if it goes the Gawker site or they are hosting it (since I can't watch video at work).
I wonder if the Scientologists will try to go after CNN.

Laga, Mom's in the US. She was going to get paid for the day she worked, but she wasn't going to get paid for the holidays (which I think was Thanksgiving so really two days for Thurs & Fri), because she had to work the Wednesday before and the Monday after. Her doctor's appointment was on Wednesday morning and the system is invalidating that whole day because of the 1 hour missed.

oh wait, so she had the holidays off but in order for them to be paid time off she had to work the wednesday before and the monday after? I can see them being hard asses about the one hour.

If this were some weird temp situation I could see them being hardasses, but she's got 30 yrs (I think it's either 29 or 30 yrs) with the school system adn the only reason she doesn't have tons of time is that she gave it up to be the drop program, which is what you go into when you are getting ready to retire.
I think she's also formally submitted all the paper work that she's retiring, first week of June.

Oh yeah, I'm not saying they're right to do so, but I think they might be within their legal rights to be asses. fuckers

Ooh speaking of legal rights... I just found out I can give my roommate Three Days Notice to vacate if he is late with the rent again.

That doesn't seem right. I'm trying to remember how that worked back when I worked payroll. I could have sworn that if you worked a certain percentage of the day (and I can't believe it would have been 7/8) you were okay, if you were hourly. But I'm not sure.
That's really too bad that wasn't made clear to your mom before she made the appointment, or went to it, even.
