Happy 35th anniversary to my darling, wonderful husband. He won't be seeing this as he isn't a Pcommer but I just want to tell everyone how fortunate I am to have him. I love him more every day. I am very blessed and consider myself one of the luckiest women on the planet. 35 years of marriage! Pretty good since I'm only 23. Happy Anniversary Babies.

He is DEFINITELY a quirky kind of guy. Love him like a brother, too.

LOL. One of the doctors I worked for wouldn't let me use letterhead for the office notes. They had to be done on regular paper and the cheapest we could buy. The funniest thing is he used to do 4 and 5 page follow up office notes, that generally could be 4 or 5 PARAGRAPH notes. He insisted that we buy White-Out (yeah, a long time ago) by the case because it was cheaper. Never mind that half of it usually went bad before it was opened. Gosh, I miss working for him!! He was a bit anal but one of the finest human beings I've ever had the pleasure of knowing. The last time I went to h

I guess we've all worked for dorks.

My boss made me and my two co-workers shut off the alarm and go back in the office to work until our regular quitting time. We left at 5:28. Quitting time was 5:30. We frequently stayed into lunchtime to process patients that his office sent to us (we did xrays and labs). We were DONE for the day as was his office. When I gave my two week notice, he told me the next time he wanted to see my a** was when it was walking out of his doors in two weeks. If I hadn't been raised to give a two week notice, I would have left that very minute. I had one boss, who I dearly love (really) but

If I were going to be here past next week, I'd do that. As it is, as of April 8, which is our service month date, we will no longer be Bellsouth customers after 34 years, 3 months and a couple of weeks.

I worked for a jerk who sent us back in to work when we locked the door to leave at 5:28 (quitting time was 5:30). All three of us were ALWAYS there before our official start time and if there was a patient back in the lab when it was lunch time, did we tell them "sorry, we're going to lunch"? No. We did the xrays or labs or whatever needed to be done and THEN went to lunch, getting back at the regular time. Thankfully, I only worked there for seven weeks, two of which was my two week notice. I saw week three that he wasn't the kind of employer I wanted to bust my ass for. He probably

Absolutely true!!

REPEATEDLY. I had really started noticing the speed recently. It just seemed to crawl at times. We would also lose connection every day around 1 p.m. for a couple of weeks. That seems to have resolved. But the speed is noticeably slower than it used to be. I know they have been working in this area so I chalked it up to that. We saw an AT&T ad a couple of weeks ago where they said they would soon have twice the speed. I looked at my husband and said "that's good to know. Now maybe it will be half the speed it was a year ago".

I had NO clue it was that bad. I knew it seemed to have slowed down recently but that's pretty slow. I actually decided to do the speed test to determine if the 3.1 mbps would be as fast as what we have. Uh, yeah!

I THOUGHT my speed was slow: I guess that 3.1 mbps that I'm looking at when we move will be fast. YIKES!! Slower than 94% of the US. Not good Bellsouth. Not good.

Where's the OP with the update he posted to his FB page? Coyotes? Man, they are more scared of YOU than you are of THEM.

Hiring "committees" are a great thing unless you're a small business owner and it's just you or just you and your spouse or a business partner, in which case the "committee" is YOU. ANY time my last employer was wanting to hire someone, he interviewed all the candidates he was interested in and then had me meet them as well. Since they were all females, he felt they might open up to me better than to him. I even met with two candidates after I had foot surgery and wasn't really back to work yet, though thanks to my boss I was able to go in and do the interviews. I guess we must have c

Good catch!

You noticed that, too?

Since we only have one person's side of it, let's just assume that the LEO did what he was supposed to do and the insurance company did what they were supposed to do. The only one who didn't was the OP.

One thing I'm not is cheap. I can be had, however. Don't EVEN get me started on the correct way to file things. If you don't know your alphabet, don't try to file.

I sure as heck would have! Not just posted that I was looking for a job but that I would have done a great job for them.

Hmmm. Not sure if it's still true, but seems like Macy's pays its employees a lot better, too.

I'm so happy to know it's not just me who sees it that way.

The insurance companies report that the premium hasn't been paid but they do nothing to get the offenders off the street. They don't even have that authority. I really can't see my insurance agent telling someone they can't drive because they didn't pay their insurance and then calling a wrecker to tow their vehicle. That's the job of the police/sheriff's department.

How was he wasting taxpayers money and his time when he was enforcing the law and getting a law breaker off the street? Believe me, just because the insurance lapse has been reported to the state, it doesn't mean people stop driving. It just means they drive until they get stopped. When they get caught, they complain about the fact that the officer did his/her job. It sounds like this person's insurance lapse showed up on the system where it was supposed to and this officer just happened to check on their tag, for whatever reason. It really sounds like the system worked. To the offi

Actually there are usually three sides to every story, one side being the truth and the other two sides being the participants version of the truth.

Hoping it will be warmer tomorrow.
