River ,'Ariel'
[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.
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.
Gaaah!!! Where is my darn UPS shipment???
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.
I DID and I love it so very very much!

That's awful and it really should be illegal.
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.
To which I laugh. I'm getting a TEACHING DEGREE you omronOh the irony of the misspelled word. What can I say, it's the little things that make me laugh.
Yes, he is crazy. If you are that valuable, then demand a big fat raise. I think you need an outline of "what are my typical hours", and maybe you need to outline how long it takes you to accomplish the tasks that he says are required, and base a rate on that. And yes, if you work an extra day here or there, or extra hours here, then you need compensation time, to be fair. Whether its legal or not, its just good practice.
I'm getting a TEACHING DEGREE you omron
Nah. Misspelled on purpose. Joe likes "omron". Kind of like "teh" and "wrod".
wow, I think my brain is tired. I saw this headline in GoogleNews page, but my brain substituted an "i" for the first "a". Which totally changes the meaning of it. :: Must leave theater ::
ETA: oops, so tired, forgot the link: [link]
Gaaah!!! Where is my darn UPS shipment???Held up by the fix-it guy I need to change my locks because I lost my keys? Where is my new lock and key???
