the last 3 months I've already been an adjustment and lost 33 pounds just think it was a little too late

WOW!

That's awesome!!

It wasn't "too little too late". It could've been "just in time".

Thinking of you, man.
would have thought the same thing but seeing the OP was TAC i immediately thought Maiden or DT related
Winger Theater Forums........or WTF.  ;D
TAC got a higher score than me in the electronic round? Honestly, can I just drop out now? :lol

You're a tough sonofabitch. You got dis.


Good morning guys.

Jay how is your payroll handled now? Is it on paper or is it done electronically?


Electronically.

At the end of the pay period, I get a print out of all of my guys' time sheets and have to verify that everything is correct. Once I've made changes and sign off, I send them back to my payroll manager (who is one of the sweetest girls in the world) and she processes it.

The problem is... a lot of the time cards are so screwed up, so I have to manually figure out what people worked (overtime and what not) and manually write out the cards. And then Payroll manager has to manually input those into the system. That's where the pain starts.




I just don't understand what they were trying to achieve with any part of the song, either individually or as a whole. You know what? It's the Platypus of Dream Theater songs. That bill doesn't go with that tail, or that strange little furry body, or those webbed feet, and oh god why does it have venomous spurs!? And then you find out it lays eggs too. The difference is that the Platypus is somehow functional despite being a crazy mishmash or leftover animal pieces

You should create an incentive  to handing in a perfect time card. I used to do that, free dinner or something similar.

If that Costco sells liquor, you should buy a bottle of Elijah Craig Whiskey and drink it prior to seeing Jovi.

It does! That's why we are making this trip (my local Costco doesn't).  My parents sent me a costco gift card too for Easter for some reason (I'm not complaining) so I plan to put it towards booze, but I am not a whiskey drinker.  I may actually get it for my coworker though cause he LOVES that whiskey.  I am probably just getting a Kirkland Vodka which is quality stuff for super cheap.  Make myself a cocktail for the train ride to the concert.

I need help, and quick!!  Buddy of mine is a bourbon guy, and he's taking me to a whisky tasting tonight.  It's his birthday as well.  I was thinking of surprising him with a bottle of bourbon as a trip for the road.   What's good?  What's a good price range?   Initial thought was $50; is that reasonable/unreasonable?  High?  Low?

My best friend is a bourbon drinker. He LOVES Woodford Reserve. I think it's a pretty good bourbon that is affordable. He swears by it.

%^&#^&$%*$&*$%^&#%&@%*(#^*#^&@#$%^@#%$^@$%^&#%^*#$^&*#%^@#%$^@%^

So at my work I have 1 other full time person that is regularly at my location. Sure, I see part time people when we have funerals, and have other funeral directors over from time to time, but usually it's just me and this other person. I enjoy working with her for the most part, get along well and all that, but every once in awhile she has a habit of just not showing up. Doesn't call, doesn't text, just doesn't show up. Sometimes she'll end up coming in at 10am, noon, 1pm, whatever, or just the next day. I usually call and get no response. Then I get, oh, sorry this came up or that, which is fine, BUT FUCKING COMMUNICATE THAT YOU WON'T BE THERE. I plan my day around having someone to help with phones if I need to go out (like I did today) and being up front for people if I'm in the back etc. So. Fucking. Annoying.

Yea, seems she gets away with it and has no desire to change since you've noticed it happens enough.  Someone needs to tell her how unprofessional that is.

It may be un-excusable but it certainly fits in line with the temperature of society today. I'm going to do what I want, when I want, how I want no matter what consequences it has on anyone else.

:lol It's like Christmas morning; even if your gifts are all total shit, you can cling on to the anticipation beforehand. :neverusethis:

That, plus the alternative is that we'd have to wait until my brother gets home from work at 8:30pm, and who's going to watch a 5-6 hour event starting at that time? :|
