Done.

I wish I could have a half day. It started dying out late last night, and I bet it's gonna be dead today. Yay for Zombie Jesus weekend.

I'm the only one on tonight which means I have to work my full shift.

This news depresses me. As does the e-mail today of, "hey, guess what, no raises!!!!! mwwwhahahaha" Please note that I am still very appreciative to have a job in Michigan

I haven't had one in almost two years. And I probably won't be getting one this year as I make more than anyone else in my department. (of course, I have the most seniority and experience, but that doesn't count)

I got the notice yesterday that I was getting one, and not only am I getting the standard raise, they said that if I only get the standard raise this year, I'd still only be making the same as a college new-hire, so I'm also getting an additional supplemental raise because my supervisor "thinks my value is higher than that of a new hire".

Congrats!

Yeah, my company's setting record EPS numbers (0% Fed Funds Rate is a quick way to make a buck in this economy when you lend that money right back to the Feds), and I still only saw a 2% raise. Never overlook a bank's propensity to be cheap.

Well, everyone knows bankers make too much money anyway.

In other news, cleaning sucks.

Especially if you're vacuuming.

I haven't had one in two years I think..at least a year and a half. No hope this year. And back when they were giving out raises I was getting the highest percentage of anyone 'cause I'm underpaid and they were trying to catch my salary up. When I hired in 5 years ago I was too excited about getting a full-time job and needing to find somewhere to live (my apartment was kicking everyone out) to argue over $. Besides, just out of college that seemed like huge bucks to me.

Anyway, I'm underpaid and no raises sucks. However, I still appreciate that I'm employed and not worrying about each paycheck.

Lunch time drive-by. Good skiing this week. The tug of war between winter and spring is being contested daily with the result that we've had "winter" conditions and "spring" conditions on alternate days. Heading back to Denver later today. My wife and I have greatly enjoyed putting the workaday world behind us for the week. This spring break came at an opportune time for us.

I hope everyone's week has gone well.

*grumble* stupid work. stupid meetings. stupid.


Usually Friday is my lazy day where I go home after work, grab a beer, and watch a little TV or play some video games. Think today I'll be going directly to gym to blow off some steam. If I go straight home, I'll probably break something.

It's windy during the Twins pregame show, my wife just said "I think Anthony LaPanta & his hair liked it inside the dome better."

Not gonna lie, moving in the Boston area is a pain in the arse. We helped my sister move out there for grad school, and it very definitely sucked, so I can totally understand why you don't want to move. Hopefully your apartment doesn't have any future problems because of the flooding!

I love the week after all the students move out. The streets are cluttered with beaten up furniture and there is crap everywhere.

I even ran it by my husband. He vetoed it and then asked who Guy Lafleur was.

Wow further than most of the time I request it. If I ever get to have a kid someday I would totally give him (or her) some fab french name, but well I am not holding my breathe at this point.

Good evening (night?), Lodge. Still sick. Good to see that everyone's enjoying the warm weather.

My mother joined Facebook a little less than 48 hours ago and is already up to about 250 friends.

My mom has over 1000, because she plays mafia wars and vampire wars.
There is sooo much wrong with that statement.
At least she was smart enough to ask me to help her with the privacy settings before she started friending the entire globe for her mafia.

For apts, I have two musts: a patio/deck, and washer/dryer in the apt.

You know this is the first apartment I have had with a balcony and I dont think I can go back.

TPIWWP.

If needed, I think UW-Eau Claire still does the Nude Mile run. Just trying to help.

ohh when?

there's a marathon in San Francisco called Bay to Breakers. Yeah, a lot of its runners run in the nude.

There is also a naked 5K in Arizona somewhere.

Congrats, dl! Nice job!

At the apartment and cleaning up. Not tons of stuff to get rid of, but still not the way I'd like to spend my day. I have all the doors open with the fans blowing. Hopefully that will make up for not being around for the next few days. A friend should be dropping by to check on the place while I'm gone. *sigh* Had to get rid of my skates.

That really sucks.

The Mormons have filmed Catholic church records back to 1799 for Boos http://www.familysearch.org/eng/lib...titleno=422095&disp=Kirchenbuch&columns=*,0,0. They can be ordered at any Family History Center http://www.familysearch.org/eng/library/FHC/frameset_fhc.asp .

I suspect that lack of knowledge of German won't be a problem. Most such records are in Latin.

Be careful with the mormon stuff. They have to fill out a family tree before they can join the church and some of them flub it.

I don't think I'd want anyone at work to know my screenname either.

ME neither.
CRAP

No, the waits are sure to be longer once more people are in the offices. Med schools report that the numbers are low for those training to become GPs. I expect to see another bill pushed through before November that creates tax incentives for med students who choose to become GPs.

To be fair the amount of GP enrollments have been down for quite a few years. Between the cost of a medical education and the cost of malpractice insurance even if someone wants to be a GP they are often forced into a speciality so they can cover their expenses.

I got the notice yesterday that I was getting one, and not only am I getting the standard raise, they said that if I only get the standard raise this year, I'd still only be making the same as a college new-hire, so I'm also getting an additional supplemental raise because my supervisor "thinks my value is higher than that of a new hire".

Nice. I just started at my new job so no raise for me, but it was a %67 increase over what I was making at my previous job. That will do.

Internet quit working, and I have no idea how to fix it since the only way I know to fix computer stuff is restarting, and that didn't work.

Can't decide if I should start drinking and decide to just stay home or wait and try to find something to do tonight.

I think I should probably go pick up some chipotle burrito no matter what.

Unplug both your modem and router. Leave them unplugged for a minute or more, then plug in both devices, the modem first and then the router. Make certain that any computer connected to the router is on when it comes back online. Often times routers will not recognize a computer if the computer is off while the router reboots.

This is, of course, assuming the problem is internal to your hovel.

Re: Rep Retirement Lodge 107: Now What??

Work was a little slower in my area today, but still a little hectic at times, since they kept sending people home to cut hours (which was fine, since I ended up keeping my OT for the week).

About to enjoy a quiet evening at home, and sip on some Black Butte Porter.

Not sure why that last post went up twice, the second post happened when I was folding clothes. My BB is possessed!

All of that equipment is shirtless guy's and I don't touch it. He's gone for the weekend, so i'll just get by with the blackberry until sunday night. If I really need real internet I can go to work.
