And to think how long it took me to get used to being paid bi-friday-ly instead of once a month…
When they whine, ask them whether they think they’re dumber than a Spanish bricklayer. Spanish bricklayers get paid monthly yet judging from both their reputation and first-hand experience, most bricks are more intelligent than their layers. Last time I looked, the whole country wasn’t bankrupt or anything (owned by the banks and the construction companies, yes).
Taters the way I see it, ya pic yer battles. The bi-weekly payroll is enough of one without the added insistence of some type of bank account for direct deposit. At least not yet. Could you imagine telling 'em that all payroll is being switched to bi-weekly and the only option for being paid is direct deposit? :eek:
Nava people hate change. I expected everything I’ve heard so far. I’m wondering what kinds of “strategies” people have come up with over night to get us to change our minds. I’ll bet the suggestion box is full of suggestions as to where I can stick my head.
in 1971, Dad’s situation at work was pretty bad. A guy he knew got interviewed for a job in another town 100km away - this guy didn’t take the job but thought of Dad and did introductions all around. Dad got the job and we moved in January '72.
Temporarily.
Dad moved back February 2000 in a pine box; a couple days before I saw him turn to Mom and say “good thing this move was temporary”. Mom and my bros still live in the temporary town.
Gratz on needing less than 28 years to notice that “it looks like this isn’t temporary”.
I usually don’t hear that line until after I take my clothes off.
We went to one of thos Melting Pot places for the GF’s birthday dinner last night. I’m pretty sure having a pot of hot oil on the table is usually a recipre for disaster, but we pulled it off without injuries or fire.
We’ve removed our closet doors (sliding doors). In the center in the floor are the metal hooks for them to rest on. Well, we meant to cover them off, and put it off. Well, you guessed it. I stepped on it before dance class. It hurt like hell. No skin was broken, but then I stubbornly went and danced on it for 2 hours and now it’s a lovely shade of purple. Ow.
Owie, Owie, Owie Mika. BTW, you will not have to use your knife on ACBG. He said my burly man harem was fine as long as he got to help with the “auditions.”
I’ve been presented with a petition. Not a real good one either. Signed by all of five people. Guess what it’s about. :rolleyes: On the plus side, it looks like most everybody has calmed down this morning. I haven’t gotten more than a half dozen if looks could kill looks.
In other news:
I actually remembered to pick up my dry cleaning before the dry cleaner’s had to call and remind me!. This is big, people. Real big.
DING! DING! DING! DING! We have a winner! A petition against bi-weekly pay. On a sheet of yellow legal paper. It states: The undersigned protest switching to bi-weekly pay:
Dumb
Dumber
Even Dumber
Still More Dumb
I’m The Dumbest
It is to laugh. I presented it to my boss. I think she’s still giggling.
