It passed the house but failed in the senate by 2 votes. Yes it was every plastic bag, prepackaged food, those bags you put fresh produce in, a box of 100 sandwich, trash etc plastic bags would be a 5 dollar tax. It is only a matter of time before it passes as our legislature has never seen a tax it doen't like

Tax $$ to elected officials is like crack to an addict. There's never enough for them, and once they get it, they're not giving it back

Finished my reading assignment. Now I'm eating some leftover stew and about to start my paper revision for today.

Kids are friskier than usual because I unplugged the TV... and I'm trying an experiment with not letting the little guy nap to see if that will help him sleep through the night. Crazy timing for this, I know.

I have to order a recoil assembly for a pressure washer my buddy gave me.

My AWOL employee sent me an email this morning, telling me he won't be back in today either. He's "going to the hospital" and will call me later.

I'm typing up a written job performance warning now for two days no-call/no-show. I just need to figure out what actions/behavior he must now perform so this doesn't happen again.

Right now, it's off to get some lunch. Have to see which local eating establishment the car feels like heading to today

Do you guys test for "substance" at the time of hiring? I had an employee some years ago that I went through a couple of no show/no call episodes with-turns out she and her boy friend were junkies....real messed up lives.

You've got to be shite-ing me. :smash:

My wife and I want to eventually get a place up there. But the tax stucture is beyond odd....and downright baffling. Maybe we'll by a farm....and just not do any farming. I've heard they'll pay you for that these days.

Just don't get a property that has a nice view. The "view tax" will kill you.

Yes, but he's been with the company for 5 years, he transferred to my department about 4 months ago

Might be time for surprise, random testing...

 

[drjeff]

Right now I'm psyching myself up for an afternoon of 4 to 8 year olds scheduled to sit in my chairs

Gonna need a beer or 2 in a few hours!

 

[severine]

Printing my revised paper. Then I have to take a step back and finish the book that was due last week. At last I have this week's assignment done.

I feel like drug tests are an invasion of privacy..I'm glad my work doesn't test...

It is. You wanna job or not? You want insurance or not?

My teenager now has to have a background check to be hired as a camp counselor. You play the game....

What if I blocked the view with plastic bags?...oh wait...never mind. ;-)

Excellent job documenting it. If this happens again, you can always reference what happened in the past.

My boss doesn't feel that's the right course of action at this time and I tend to agree.

I need to hear his side of the story first.
