Hours of entertainment? Wacky hijinks?
ETA: I cannot TELL you how strange that word looks. Better with a "ks" than with an "x", but... weird.

[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.

This was my favorite part of the NPR article
"We said, 'No!' You are not going to do this. You're not going to walk behind anybody. We're going to walk together. And we held hands and we marched right up the sidewalk into those doors. Into an extreme unknown," he says.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Well, for some unknown reason the maintenance folks removed the handles to the door to the mens restroom. Guys can push the door open to go in. But they can't get out without some outside assistance.
Huh. Sorta' like a Roach Hotel. Urinators go in, but don't come out.

"Well, then I don't know why it hasn't been processed."
Whatever happened to the sentence that should follow this, "But let me find out for you."?
Update: She came back. She is now holding the paystubs, but she informed me that work study work doesn't fucking count as "work hours."
WTH? It would be nice if they had told you this ahead of time.

I wonder if they set-up a spy-cam to catch the dorks who get stuck.

Ok. I was not awarded work study this year, so if they've been paying me out of work study, human resources fucked up. I'm on the phone with them now, and the woman is SO helpful. And I must sound really upset because her first questions was, "Honey, are you ok?"

Ok. It is NOT work study, and they will write MassHealth a letter saying such. God bless them.

Ann, that's a ferret.
"Well, then I don't know why it hasn't been processed."
BZZZT!! Sorry, thank you for playing. The correct answer would have been, "Let me look that up, then." Also acceptable, "I'll look into it. May I have your telephone number so I can call you back when I find out?"

All is well that ends in pizza.
Waitaminute. You worked, you got paid for work, it's work. Calling it "work Study" merely labels it indicating you got it through the school. It's still work.
She's an ass. Make her prove in writing somewhere that work study does not count. And then find out why.
Work study ≠ make-work.
After x-Post: Well, then, even better. Makes them more incompetent.

Good. I hope this is the last time you have to deal with this.
