Yeah, I just talked to the ESC, and they confirmed that it's totally legal. Damn, shoulda taken both weeks to be in New Orleans. Ah, well.
Thanks for the speedy answer, hivemind!
Now to file my unemployment claim.
Lorne: Once the word spreads you beat up an innocent old man, well, the truly terrible will think twice before going toe-to-toe with our Avenging Angel. Spike: Yes. The geriatric community will be soiling their nappies when they hear you're on the case. Bravo.

Vacation payouts depend on state law, I'm pretty sure. In California you've got to pay it out, but I'm pretty sure that's because the legislature made it so.
Yes, this is why the policy handbook of my company has to follow each of its sucky policies with, "In California, our policy is as follows..."

Thank you Harry Bridges and the General Strike of 1934.

My favorite is that, when I leave (hopefully soon), they have to pay me for all unused vacation plus the pro-rated amount of vacation I've already "earned" for next year (since my company grants all vacation on January 1st).

It's also nice when you get paid out at a higher salary for vacation hours you accrued at a lower salary.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Wow, that's shitty, smonster. Now I'm looking at our policy and it says "an employee who terminates employment will be paid for accrued vacation time," which makes me wonder what about if the company terminates the employee.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?
So, anyone doing anything special on May 21st? That's the end of the world, in case you forgot. Also, it's on a Saturday.
Well, crap. Totally forgot about that. Why am I job hunting? I think I will now stop that silly business.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
Hey, Steph, when you come by, do you know of any good visual resources for ropework? I'm not looking to tie, I'm looking to draw.
I can give you better links once I'm home, but off the top of my head, if you google Two Knotty Boys, they have an extensive site with lots of ties. I don't know if their ties are fancy shibari (Eastern ropework; google "shibari chest harness" for one example) or Western ropework (less visually artistic, more tie-the-damsel-to-the-railroad-tracks, which has a certain appeal), or both.
I definitely have links bookmarked at home, so I'll peruse later and throw some your way.
t edit What are you looking for? Fancy, utilitarian, both?

I'm sorry smonster. This is not right or fair. You'd think they'd at least give you partial payment. Shitty.

Did y'all see that VegNews put out an apology and said they'll only use custom vegan photographs from now on? Huh.
