RN we got the neighbor kids earlier but none after we got home. Course we didn't get home til almost 9 and Darren and the kids went straight to bed so I didn't turn on the porch light (didn't want to keep them awake with the doorbell ringing.)

Right a few minutes ago, Caleb got up and told me he wasn't feeling well. He was clammy, said his head hurt and nose was runny. Gave him some tylenol and took him back to bed...and found Dakota wide awake sitting in the middle of her bed, head in hands. Clammy, headache, runny nose.

RN: I am just sick to my stomach. We were supposed to trick or treat at my grammas early in the night and I forgot and we didn't get there until 9:00 and she was already in bed. Today she won't even speak to me. sigh. What to do...

RN the utilities truck came up and parked by the front curb and put out their orange cone. Then they pulled up the cover over my meter. I went out to see what's happening and there's sewerage bubbling out of our back up pipe! They said there was a blockage in the main line, so now my front yard stinks.

RN I am irritated that the landlady has not deposited my rent check from last month. I am not going to send another until she deposits the last one. About six months ago she came to my door accusing me of not paying when really she just lost track. My nieghbor said they she had to go to court over the same thing.

right now, Nyheat, in court you would lose. send the check with a note saying "you have not cashed the check i sent you last month, could you please let me know when this check will be deposited."

Or send a cashiers check from the bank, that way you've spent the money and it's all on them, plus you have a receipt of it in case they lose track.

RN they backwashed our sewer pipe and then washed and pine-sol'd my yard! They say there is a break in the main line somewhere near my meter, so now they are going to dig up my yard for the fourth time in the last couple of years. <sigh>

RN that's too bad Urgrace. An annoyance to say the least!

RN I called the landlady (i already called a week ago, she swore she had the check) and she promised to deposit it today. I must say it's the first time I've encountered a landlady who likes to sit on the checks for weeks at a time. My guess is that many in this building pay late.

Still, no new check til the last one clears. She won't boot me for sending the rent check a week later than usual.

RN it's a good idea, Escapee...maybe in the future? It's a New York City landlord--she and I could do this dance for a loooong time!

RN is wasn't 'our' fault, Escapee. Previously there was a hackberry tree growing right next to the curb that the city would not allow us to cut down, so it grew like wildfire. It ended up growing all around and into the sewer lines a few years ago until they finally cut the tree down at about 25 ft. Looks like the main pipe (that everyone uses) just broke this time.

RN why do people go to work with infectious diseases!? If I were their boss, I'd send them home. Get some disinfectant wipes, too, Mocha!

Rn Urgrace, I can only speak for myself, but I work with people who call in sick everytime they have a hang nail or had a fight with their boyfriend and I feel like I have to come to work because I am the one who gets spoken to if I call in sick (and may I remind you I only call in when I am running a fever)

RN, Nyheat, you could tell her that you're putting a stop payment on the check on (insert date here) and will deliver the two months checks together. Cashier's checks and money orders wouldn't prove that you actually SENT them. I'd either hand deliver it or tell her that you can arrange to have a deposit directly from your account to hers at her own bank. If she has a history of being an idiot, I wouldn't trust her.

Right now, I used to work with someone who called in sick because her DOG was sick. Yeah, I'm glad I don't work there anymore!

RN I want sick time.

ETA: When I worked at the retirement home, if we had something contagious we werne't allowed back to work until the dr cleared us. We had 7 paid sick days a year and once you used those you didn't get paid for anymore drs note or no.

Darrens co is like Mochas, they earn a sick day every month. In November, they can cash out whatever sick days they didn't use because they don't roll over. Because of this, Darren doesn't take any (he's had one in two years,) cashes them out and we get a decent sized check mid-November for Christmas shopping.

RN I think the people who never use their sick days should get paid for not being out - IF they didn't ever come to work contagious, but I just hate it when people who call in six times a month get rewarded for it.
