Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift

So I've spent the last half-hour doing some research, and after looking at the FLSA, I'm not sure Aimee is an exempt employee. If she isn't, then she can go after the fuckhole for overtime.

It's too long and boring to get into here, so insent, Empress.

The status is NOT quo.

Aimee, did you see the lolcat...well, it was really a lolcamel...I posted yesterday for you? Worth a laugh, at least, on a crappy day.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I think this guy is not working from translations

Straight from the classical Hebrew?

I don't understand--if Aimée has holidays or sick days and isn't being allowed to take them--isn't that unfair in some court or another? As distinguished from a job that has neither?

Nope, it makes no difference. From what I understand, they're considered benefits, and it's not illegal to not offer benefits, nor is it illegal for an employer to say you can't use them, if your presence is required to fulfill the job duties.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

I DID and I love it so very very much!

That's awful and it really should be illegal.

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

Straight from the classical Hebrew?

I think so. It's his specialty, Biblical (and earlier) Israel. One of his arguments is that the names of patriarchs were not in currency during the First Temple Period, so they probably aren't made up because if yo were making up names you'd likely make up names you were used to. But also, the genealogies are more about relationships among nations than between people. It makes my head hurt. But I'm pretty sure he's a primary source guy. Abraham Malamat.

Whether Aimee's boss is within his rights or not, he is crazy.

TOTALLY crazy.

Which is why I am turning in my application to the county on Wednesday. Turns out, the guy who does the background checks is a guy I've wrked with at this job. I told him of My Past and he said that it was a long time ago and the good will outweight it and the county needs good 911 operators and I should go for it. SO go for it I shall. And the benefits are AWESOME.

Boss kinda cracks me up because he said something a couple of weeks ago about me not being able to leave him. I said, "What are you going to do when I graduate?" He said, "Promote you. To CFO." I said, "IA M YOUR CFO!" and he said, "I dunno. VP?"

To which I laugh. I'm getting a TEACHING DEGREE you omron. I'm tired of dicking around with other people's money. I want to dick around with books and such.
