My letter arrived yesterday...Just by way of update. My letter arrived yesterday and by now they have assimilated it.<br /><br />Gino brought up a point that needs a little discussion. Yes it is true that in the past this employer did extend loans to people and keep them on as long as he could though they were sick or facing trouble. And that, plus his basic kindness to me at the outset, are the reason that I'm not right this second going to the state and demanding they get my money. <br /><br />However, you can't not go to appointments I set up for you to see about measuring new jobs, let money owed to the company for years sit there and laxly pursue it - if at all, hire me to give advice and direction and then listen to nothing I say, and not pay your vendors or your employees for months and expect they'll all just "understand how it is."<br /><br />The man and the company have holdings and a bankroll. They have the wherewithal to cash in what they have and pay everybody (vendors and employees alike) that has been CARRYING them through the winter. <br /><br />It is NOT OK to disappear in the morning of paydays and not mention to anybody there'll be no check today, and then take two seconds to apologize for that on Monday before giving out orders for what you want done that day.<br /><br />I've waited since Christmas Eve for a check and just only recently, before I left, got the paycheck I should have gotten in December that they missed. I have also waited now unto March 9 for money owed me since the first or second week of January. <br /><br />That I am giving them until April 15 to come up with the money before I get the state on my team, I think, is leeway enough. I already know I'll never be reimbursed for the free use of my car that I gave the company to do errands. <br /><br />So, no. April 15 is time enough. Screw it. I want to get my money before he totally disappears out of his own ineptness.RWhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14416316296228157208noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2540360308013071801.post-67119016948580229562011-03-07T22:06:39.475-06:002011-03-07T22:06:39.475-06:00I think everyone else already said anything I'...I think everyone else already said anything I'd want to say.

Mostly when it would keep individuals from having to extract justice by their own hand. You're owed money earned. I'd much rather this be a function of government and law enforcement than you getting a gun and having to take care of it yourself. It's not like you're screaming STOP SOCIALIZED MEDICINE! one minute, then turning around and screaming DON'T TOUCH MY MEDICARE! the next.Dave2https://www.blogger.com/profile/15376066552003396828noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2540360308013071801.post-18231163201200477162011-03-07T19:19:32.867-06:002011-03-07T19:19:32.867-06:00That Bodies exhibit always seemed morbid and awful...That Bodies exhibit always seemed morbid and awful to me, but I never really looked into it.

You're good. <br /><br />Tea party hypocrisy is more along the lines of bitching about government spending while supporting pointless (and expensive wars) without question, or losing your shit when someone suggests raising the SS retirement age by a year.Brianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06799024060528185282noreply@blogger.com
