Agreed, Cass, that is a nightmare, and I'm sorry you have to be the strong one.
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.

Months ago I sat down with my boss to ask for a raise. It finally came through and is effective this week. 5% is nice, I had asked for more, which my managers supported but HR rejected. I guess there is some company limit.
I'm happy this step is done though in notifying me, my manager forwarded the chain of e-mails with the information from HR and it shows that this all could have been done at the beginning of August, but somewhere along the line the approvals got stuck, as in someone didn't realize their approval was needed, so it sat FOR A MONTH.
Still, still, I have a job I like, good co-workers (in addition to my co-workers at home), and 5% is nothing to share a stick at.

Good news, Suzi!
I did phone screens with two candidates at the end of the day yesterday, and they have both emailed thank-you notes! Many of the young people do not bother anymore, and I really appreciate it.

Oh, good thoughts to your friend, Matt.

Jesse, I assume it was email thank you? I figure these days paper is surely antiquated, but there was a time when that was seen as preferable/more formal than email. Oh, how things change!

I had a FB friend post an article about how Britain is actually doing well economically after Brexit. While I hope dire economic predictions don't come to bare, it seems a little early to draw conclusions about Brexit since the Brexit hasn't actually happened yet. I expect there will be articles about how Hillary Clinton is a terrible President in December this year. Well, unless Trump wins.

Yep. Occasionally I still get one on paper, and now I think that's weird!
So my poor mother's computer is being held hostage and they may not be able to get her stuff back. :(
