Two good cafeteria days in a row--after yesterday's Middle Eastern cuisine, just now I was filling up the take-out dish at the salad bar when my favorite cafeteria worker came by. He told those of us at the salad bar to "fill up," since the registers aren't working, including the scales, so they're charging $5 for each salad, regardless of how much was on the plate.
Extra chicken and bell peppers, please!
Oh, sweet deal, Kathy!
yeah, he's one of those guys that started looking old when he was 30, and stayed the same.
But he was also the little kid in Anchors Aweigh!
So, it looks like I'm getting furloughed! All employees making more than $23K have three mandatory furlough days between now and Dec. 31. It's not sure how they'll play it - if they had any sense they'd give us the day before Thanksgiving and Christmas Eve (both of which are normally working days, yes, Christmas Eve), and maybe another day Thanksgiving week (which is a week-long holiday for the students). Another 3 days in the spring, too.
I'm blaming Tino, of course.
My brother had to take a furlough day earlier this summer (parole officer in NJ). Actually, he was the president of the local PBA chapter while they were having a protest over the furlough back in June and was interviewed on the local news--he's not bad as a public speaker!
I'm blaming Tino, of course.
As you should. Sorry about being furloughed.
All employees making more than $23K
Once again demonstrating what universities think of as good pay. Although does this mean, fo example, that the receptionist will come in and get paid without the people she works for?
ouch flea, although all said and done 3 days is not bad.
over 23K
isn't that like 90% or more of all full-time employees?
I have to minor-rant: there's a video running around (being emailed from gullible person to gullible person) of Glenn Beck talking about how cars.gov will let the GOVERNMENT TAKE OVER YOUR COMPUTER.

Shoot me now.
I think library employees start at $19K. That's a full-time job, usually in circulation/shelving, usually a fresh college grad (though no college degree is required - there just are a lot of college grads willing to work for low pay in this town). My job was listed at $26K - and it's a rank 6 (if the lowest is 1), as high as you can go without being a MLS-holding librarian. We're in a low cost of living area, and the pay is pretty bad even for that.
