One of the CS situations I hate so much:

Employee was terminated last year. Her benefits were paid a month in advance, so she's due a month's worth of deductions back.

She's been calling since the beginning of January. Our accounting department is both slow and unavailable. I have no answer for her. I feel bad about that.

ON THE OTHER HAND it does her no good at all to threaten legal action. The business in incorporated, you won't touch anybody who gives a shit. And the less than $60 check you're due will be swallowed up in the first five minutes of a phone call to a lawyer who won't take your case anyway. So shut up.

And here's me, hating both sides.

Brenda, is Lucy a coonhound? She looks like The Boy's Kato.

Could be, Steph - she's a shelter dog (Atlanta Humane Society Represent!) so until I pony up the money for those dog DNA tests (which I'm kind of dying to do, actually) she could be anything. Generally I peg her as Rott/Husky, but there some bird dog of some sort in there too, for sure.

Kato and Lucy look just like my Lucy! Which I think I've already told brenda.

ita was in my dream last night. I think her role basically amounted to being proud of me for watching soft porn.

Aww, my sister had a Rotweiller named Lucy that recently passed away.

Man, the similarity is freaky: [link]

Chloe is awfully gorgeous. Does she really walk around with a blanket? I can't get Bartleby to even lie under anything when he's cold. His jacket? Torture device to his way of thinking.

Hee. I see the stuffed animal love breeds true as well.

Chloe is awfully gorgeous. Does she really walk around with a blanket?

She will, if we lay it over her. She'll also walk under the drapes so that only her head is peeking out -- it's her "veil," we've decided. And she LOVES anyone wearing along skirt, because she'll walk right up, under the skirt, and then stick her head out.

I think if we got her a flowy garment that fastened, she'd be in Chloe heaven.

t edit She's kind of dumb, though, which leads us to frequently tell her, "At least you're pretty, baby." And she seems to have attachment disorder -- seriously. If it's at all possible, she has to be touching a human at all times. If I'm trying to work, or eat, she knows I won't pet her, but she'll sit close enough that her haunches are against my leg, or she'll sit on my foot, or something.

It's possible she needs Prozac.
