The big question for the day is where the fat hell is today's postal delivery? Our post office is an embarrassment.

I hope you have a much better night tonight, Cillaliz. Nightmares are terrible.

Thanks Laura.  I've been pretty stressed lately, it usually takes me having nightmares before I take a real break

I know. It is a small church. Everyone volunteers. I volunteer.

Oh I get that, but they need to know when you are volunteering it's because you want to volunteer and that if you have some reason to not do it, then you won't be there and that should have no impact on your employment.  I know you'll be volunteering just as much.  I would suggest making sure your actual duties, that you are paid for are very explicit so that anyone would know which hours are volunteer and which are paid hours

Good afternoon. I did some church computer work, and then I walked up to the bank to pay my credit card bill. The bill did not include our recent trip to Disneyland. That will get paid from my next church quarterly paycheck next month.

If they go by the employment contract they presented to me (not yet signed), I wonder if I will make a whole lot more money. They had no idea how many hours I worked unpaid. They will find out when I present my hours on Sunday. Of course, they may decide most of it was volunteer time.

Are you still deciding if you should sign it or not?  I thought you might have had a deadline on that.

IF it's volunteer time, then you can decide not to do it in the future they can't insist you work without pay.

Laura, would you be be able to refuse to volunteer?

Had a breakfast burrito for my meal o' the day.  I have some fruit and cheese for later.  Then did some stuff, then worked at the piano, and am now continuing with Mr. Robot - four more episodes to go, so I think they're going to do the reveal that I've been waiting for.  It goes off on tangents, into cliche territory, and even though I didn't love the pilot, it at least was weird and focused in a way the episodes are not - I suspect that the writer/creator had the concept and a few episodes in mind and maybe an end game, but I think they also make it up as they go along.  And I don't know when this became a "thing" but showing women sitting on a toilet going to the bathroom while a male comes in to have a conversation is just, well, desperate and really idiotic.  Stop it.  And then when the woman peeing also opens her legs to the guy as if somehow that's a turn-on, you know the writer/creator basically has his head up his rectal cavity.

There are two deer laying down under my big pine tree in the front yard.  I love that they feel safe enough to stay there

ALaura, would be be able to refuse to volunteer?
Just making the point that if they aren't going to pay her, she should be able to decide whether or not she wants to volunteer

I meant would Laura personally be able to refuse to volunteer?  Some people have trouble saying no.

I just cleaned up my posts I made while using the keyboard on my computer while I used it in the kitchen.  It was in an awkward position and I had trouble typing, especial when the keyboard on the screen covered what I was typing and I couldn't see what I was doing.

The river parade got rained out. The rains were so heavy that the barges were too high under the bridges. It was a mess.

We got to see 11 barges go by. Most were unremarkable.

I had to buy a new DVD player today, so of course, the old one is acting fine now. It wasn't earlier today.

But Black Friday was a good day to find a deal. This one was half off at Costco today.
