Jeez Sophia, that sucks. And they can’t have a virtual time clock so you could punch in on your work computer from wherever you are?? You’d think they could.

It is too early but I woke up at 5 and wasn’t falling back asleep so I guess I’m up?? Gross. But I have today off so I guess I’ll take a nap later. Made it to Palm Springs yesterday where I’m staying for December. Place is nice and I’ve missed this friend. Hoping this’ll be fun!

I do hope your boss is able to work out something, Sophia.

Oh, wow, yeah, I hope your boss can get you the bump. That's a whole lot to suddenly have to rearrange.

Sophia, that absolutely sucks balls.

I am hourly and also cannot work overtime without prior approval, but we do not click in and out, so me working my hours is all on the honor system. And if I work overtime by error or guilt without expecting comp time that can happen too.

Office staff being on punch clicks makes zero sense to me.

Day 2 of hearing may get called off as the parties started discus settlement again.

Please please please.

Fingers crossed.

Hearing cancelled!! Woohoo!

Phew!

Ugh, Sophia, that sounds so counter-productive. I hope you can get that salary bump and not punch an actual time clock!

Palm Springs for December sounds very nice, meara!

I am trying to decide how much time to dedicate to trying to see Princess Kate, and I think the answer is 10 minutes. I'll walk by when I can but not wait around.

That is so inane, Sophia! I’m glad to hear your boss sounds supportive. Hope this works out for you.

I’m jealous of a month in Palm Springs!!!

So apparently I did see her in the car -- I thought it couldn't be her in the front of the first car, but someone said it was. I saw a white woman with long hair in the Princess's motorcade, at least.
