In our old office, there was another office on the same floor that had an asshole boss. I once heard asshole boss chewing out an employee for making a mistake that cost the company $10 or $20. Asshole boss told her he was going to take the money out of her paycheck.

I felt like asking him, "If she saves your company $1000, are you going to give her $1000?"

Is that even legal to deduct money from her paycheck for a mistake she made?

My goodness. Tim just texted me that he's coming home from work because he doesn't feel well. This man NEVER comes home from work because he's sick, and has taken maybe 3 sick days in the 10 years I've known him (not counting the time off for his hernia surgery).

Based on his general reticence to take a sick day, I'm assuming he's coming home because he has bubonic plague or something. I need to go find the plastic sheeting and duct tape.

(Which screws up the scheduling of AP exams, since students in places with August-May schedules get an extra month to prepare for the exams, and students in places with September-June schedules have less time to prepare, but then an extra month or month and a half at the end of the school year when the teachers need to figure out something for them to do that will keep them interested, since the students know that they won't be tested or graded on that material.)

Oh man, that was the best. Especially when I took AP English junior year -- most of the class was seniors, and they got out a couple of weeks early, too. We laid around outside reading Midsummer Night's Dream and called it a day!

Hugging is confusing.

Okay, I should not be a smartass. Tim has trouble breathing and shortness of breath, so I'm going to take him to Urgent Care. (There has been a respiratory virus going around, and it sounds like that, as opposed to pneumonia or anything more severe. I hope.)

A little Tim~ma would be welcome.

Tim~ma!

I got some stuff done that needed doing this weekend, but even so

I feel the same way. I got a lot done, at least in terms of energy expended, but looking at how little difference it makes and how much more there is to do it doesn't seem like much. But I literally could not have done any more, I don't think.

Tim-ma!

Good luck, Tim!

I can't decide if I made good or bad use of time -- I was in the office for a few hours yesterday, but haven't actually done much yet today. So I could have done yesterday's stuff today, except maybe I still wouldn't have felt like it? Eh.

I saw all these posts and was like, "What happened?! ... Oh, we're talking about our laundry."

May lovely Tim have no wait at the doctor and easy breathing resume fast.

Tim~ma!

And for you msbelle, a bit of boss~ma coming your way!
