Same here

 

idiot report. backnin 2020 had covid during the original out break. work called for 14 day isolation and working swing shift lost 3weeks pay. filled unemployment got paid for 2 of the 3 weeks and that was end of story,Hell No. they send me a letter 6mo. ago. claim was denide and i own them the money back. i have appealed 3 times. says i was able to work. HR sent them email each time as why i was off,guess what. now sending me letters its denide because i make enough to assorb it. so because i work to earn a living they want money back. screw them. will sent this to them next

 

That is just f#$ked up.
Looks like they need money for the people who can work but don't want to. They they get a doctor to sign off on FMLA because they are under stress.

 

AND This is why I always worked during "Seasonal layoff" back in New England..

You had the choice of sitting like cattle and wait on a lecture , then a do you really need this ( I pay into it all F@#$% year ) and they want to "start a job search". I will be off less than 10 weeks

Easier to just "grab a seat in an oil truck" and make the same pay or pray it SNOWS and COLLECT serious $$$$$

I will credit the "System" with one thing, Con & I have pre-planned for every "oops" ever since.. even when Covid hit she had us "safely" getting by....

Good morning all, my patient is still restless but we are still married

Get out and enjoy your day

 

Good morning crew! Off to find the elusive 9 pieces of 2x6 x 8' "good" lumber...

 

Dwayne that's just ... up , I hope the company realizes the mistake they made and apologizes for their error

 

Yessa we also save to be able to cover stuff like this but i was in the rules and told to apply by HR.I worked thru the WHOLE covid thing and we had some take off like 2 months because they were scared of it and drew unemployment the whole time while they fished,rode horses and hell i know one who took a dang vacation

 

no, its not the company its the State unemployment office.

 

Some of us were raised different

Plant your own seeds and receive thy own bounty... do not ride someone's coat tails as there might be "thorns" under 'em

Luckily it is working out for us, my semi-retirement has allowed me the time to take care of Con through her "Bionic rebuild" and then we wait to "write the next chapter"

Life being a bourbon drinker, that glass is ALWAYS half full

Changed the oil in the kids truck. Then checked the brakes because they had a slight squeak. Sure enough the slider was frozen on the caliper bracket. While wallowing on the ground fixing that I pulled my back. Wife comes home and parks in the garage. There’s a sweet smell. Yup her radiator is leaking

 

Oh crap…
Sorry Dude.

 

When it rains, it pours.

 

Saturday Suckage

 

Back awake and having a little coffee


Bad drive last night, couldn't stay awake the last half hour.

I hate getting home late

 

Then stay home? Never late then.

 

I've reversed the roles. My son does my oil changes. He even brought the fuel system fogger over and did the Jeep for me. Any repairs I can do I hand him the tools and he does the work.

I can't handle those long marathon trips anymore. If I have to do a long trip I plan out the hotel stops or fly.

 

We went the opposite way. Used to stay halfway, now we make it in one go.

I actually like the 14 hour drive, always liked driving, but I start at 6 am, not 10am.

 

I have a dream of downsizing to a 450 sq/ft. room addition over the garage, renting out the main house of 1907sqft. and traveling. I'd keep the 2 car garage for myself and car storage. Room over the garage has a private entrance with an exterior set of stairs and a 10x20 deck. If my snoring bothers my wife too much I'll just set up a cot in the garage!
