I said I'm sorry. I've made mistakes, but fear was never one of them.

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

So, our fancy timeclocks helpfully round to the nearest quarter hour at the beginning and end of the day although not for lunch, apparently, which means if I clock in at 6:37 and out at 3:10 and take a 33 minute lunch I somehow get 12 minutes of OT even though I actually worked exactly 8 hours. And that is to be avoided. I am told.

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

My manager is in a mood and nitpicking my grammar, and even though I want to argue with her (uh, no, that modifier is not dangling), I am going to let it go. Because she's in a mood.

Did I tell y'all I got my jury duty check? $15/day = mileage for three days = $46.02. I live pretty damn close to the courthouse.

t, I had that at my very first job in a grocery store, they were clear we should not log in more than 6 minutes early because of that (and shouldn't start working until we were logged in). Kind of obnoxious in a professional job though!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Yeah, I mean, I appreciate protecting non-exempt people in all kinds of jobs, but that seems a little extreme.

It+'s the part where it's my responsibility to make sure I don't get OT that irritates me. And the part where no one bothered to tell me any of this until it became a problem for them. My supervisor apparently thought Payroll covered it when they set me up on the timeclock, but that was literally a minute of making sure the machine read my fingerprint. Hard to believe this company has been in business for over 30 years sometimes.

We have the same fucked up timeclock at my work. Is it Paycor?

We hates it. Luckily (for this purpose) most of our hourly employees are part time and do not have lunch breaks in their shifts.

I am so done in. I had to sit down make no the bed. I guess since the prospect of walking to the pool seems epic, swimming is out of the question. But I need to drive into work to grab the laptop so I can at least call into a meeting I have info for.

I am the wussiest sick person.

I'll have to check the brand when I clock out.

Um, no. Sitting down and deciding the bed does not in fact have to be made would be wussier, for one.
