Well, you've read the notes, the notes spoke of the games people play, and now it is time for you to post until the cows come home - they're currently doing the games cows play.

Well, I need to go to sleep now. I also need to get to work earlier than usual. In December, they're changing the dates of when we get paid and that's causing a LOT of sturm und drang and angst and tsuris. We currently get paid on the 15th and the last working day of the month. They're going to change it to the 10th and 25th, so that we don't get paid before we actually turn in our time sheets. Good idea, huh?

BUT, we'll get our December 15th paycheck, then not get paid again until January 10! Fortunately, they're going to let us work extra hours (at time and a half when we work over 40 hours in a week), and/or cash-in some vacation time, and/or cash-in our personal holiday hours (16 non-cumulative hours per year...if we have any left for this year), and/or cash-in next year's personal holiday hours. We can work the equivalent of, or cash in, up to 86 extra hours of pay. The union bargained for these options, and that's pretty cool. Of course, people don't have to work extra hours or cash in any vacation or personal time if they have enough to get themselves to the new pay date, but we have these options.

I told my supervisor that I'd like to work extra hours. I actually have enough vacation to cash in the 86 hours, but if other people want to work Saturdays, there has to be a supervisor present in our area. I live close and most of the stuff I do on Saturdays (like my weekly family dinner) can be moved to other days. The A Christmas Story Saturday performances are after the December 15th pay period, so the time period that we have to do all of this will be over.

So, I'm off to bed and an early start.

Have a good day, all!

I think I will be helping Joshie today, so I got up an hour early to pay some bills and post them on my way into City Center. I was going to pay them yesterday, but Annabelle decided to help me. She climbed onto my work table, lay down in the middle of my bills, groomed herself, played with a paper clip, tried to get from the table into the book shelf, played with some pens, rolled around, tried to get a tan from the lamp, played with a paper clip . . .

She and Thatch are fed and I will clean the litter. Then get to work.

It’s cold and stormy here today. It’s 50 now and expected to drop before warming up slightly.

Last night, I took my dear wife, Sandy, to the hospital.

She'd tripped in our back yard; fell flat on her face.

No broken bones, thankfully. She's home, but pretty sore.

Good morning!

KevinH · « **Reply #18 on:** October 15, 2018, 05:45:00 AM »

Sorry to hear about Sandy's fall, DR Druxy.

KevinH · « **Reply #19 on:** October 15, 2018, 05:46:00 AM »

As DR elmore said, we had a delightful time yesterday!

KevinH · « **Reply #20 on:** October 15, 2018, 05:48:37 AM »

After brunch we saw Anastasia, which I had seen before I really like it and love the score.

KevinH · « **Reply #21 on:** October 15, 2018, 05:49:41 AM »

Later we saw Golden Girls Live. I had seen it in August, but this was a special Halloween edition. It was really hilarious.

So sorry to hear about Sandy's fall, Druxy. I hope her soreness goes away quickly.

Laura · « **Reply #24 on:** October 15, 2018, 05:54:23 AM »

Dang, this getting old thing is no fun.

Laura · « **Reply #25 on:** October 15, 2018, 05:54:35 AM »

The only consolation is grandchildren.

See how I worked that in there?? :-)

Another DARK day, weather-wise, with of course rain.

Vibes for Mrs. Druxy.
