Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
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.
Shoot me now.
You're aiming at the wrong person.
Sometimes I have moments of Jesus christ *I'm* the resident expert now???!
Slapped in the face with one right now. Fun!
SH, seemingly there have also been rumors that under the new health plan the government will be able to take money directly out of your bank account. sigh.
