We start 4 10-hour days next week
The DH's work is on a 9/80 schedule - 9 hours for 8 days out of every 10, and then every other Friday off/8 hours work Friday. It works, sort of... until they realize that they actually need people on the Friday's off. Then they have to pay OT. They are thinking of going back to a standard work week because it's costing them too much.
Also, I love the Snarky McFuckbuttons -- especially "Invisible Giving A Shit", possibly because one of my standard lines is "I'm sorry, but my Give-a-shit is broken."
OMG. So the Seattle PI has pictures of the Miss Universe competition. The National Costumes, the Evening Gowns and the Swimwear. And I SWEAR, Miss Albania looks like a ringer in every shot. Like she is not actually a top pageant girl, but rather a super assassin who has gunned down the competition to make it this far, in order to fulfill her mission to kill the one girl who knows the secret of...something....
(not sure why the swimsuits aren't alphabetical like the rest, but Albania is #32)
On the other hand, Miss Albania in National Costume is, like, the ultimate Bond villainess.
Miss Albania looks BAD ASS. I wish to have her National Costume cape.
edit: Oooh! Miss Czech Republic could be her nemesis!!
It's possible she does well just because the judges are scared not to give her the title.
On the other hand, I would think Albanian judges would be made of sterner stuff.
Someone please tell me that there is a fandom for PSYCHOTICALLY INSANE EAST-EURO BEAUTY QUEENS. Because if anyone deserves one, dude....
It's baaaaack! Seiche warning prompts lake swim ban
Ooooh, Miss Korea needs to be in on this battle royale of beauty queens.
We start 4 10-hour days next week. I'm still the only employee who's not thrilled about it, because I don't want to get up earlier and I don't like having my evenings truncated.
Do any of these people have children in daycare? Because much as I'd love a 4-day work week, I just couldn't do this. Add in commute time, and the daycare just isn't open long enough for me to work a 10-hour day.
