Get up...get up, you stupid piece of... What did you do that for? What's wrong with you? Didn't you hear a word he said? All of you! You think there's someone just going to drop money on you?! Money they could use?! Well, there ain't people like that. There's just people like me.

I think there are provisions for people having to be paid overtime for working on federal holidays, aren't there? Being salaried and adamantly not working on actual holidays, I've not personally familiarized myself with the rules, but I thought that was the case...

Exempt employee here who has to work a workplace holiday that isn't company holiday. And then there is the company holiday that isn't a fed holiday. So I try to work both and get a floater.

No OT is the definition of salaried, isn't it?

Usually, but not always.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

I spent ten minutes on taxes. Victory is mine!

The taxes are not even close to done, but still.

I currently get paid OT if I work more than 8 hours in a day, but I assume that is a contractual thing with my agency.

Actually, that's California state law. It differs in other states.

I visited my parents, after my sister took my dad to church with her. Apparently Mom felt a little bit abandoned, since several hours later, she announced that she too had gone to church, and my sister & father had forgotten her there. It was quite something.

Anyone else watch the Cal/Louisville women's game? Very suspenseful!

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Actually, that's California state law.

Oh, really? I just know I was surprised by it.

I'm salaried but get straight time OT when I work more than 80 client hours in a two week period.

CJ has, as he puts it, Search and Rescue blue balls. Ah boys. They hadn't had a call in a while but got one tonight. Just as we were about to pull into the designated meeting spot, the call got cancelled -the person was found.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Random thing from catching up on TV: I kind of love the Wheat thins ad with the puppet. It's silly, but it makes me happy.
