The Alipinestars are missing...which I'm not too mad about since I really like the Forma boots

 

. Look at the latest they will arrive. Sometimes the gubment service will push it to the last minute/day of delivery.

 

Right rite. Hopefully they show up soon.

On that note… so-far I have the Friday and Saturday off, along with the following monday. Boss man said it has become a popular week for people. So, we will see.

 

I ordered them on the 19th. This is what they are showing..........

Running behind, original estimate was Fri, Mar 22 - Wed, Mar 27

 

I didn't know the end of April was a popular time......with Memorial Day being right around the corner

youi can make it. It should be a good trip

 

Yeah, no shit. Boss man has a thing of wanting a full staff at the office even when someone takes a day off. He is starting the search for volunteers. I get it to a point, but still.

 

From AlabamaWX

WARM START TO APRIL: Today will be another warm, dry day for Alabama with a high in the low 80s in most places with a mix of sun and clouds. The weather becomes active late tomorrow and tomorrow night as an organized band of showers and thunderstorms moves into the Deep South.

SPC has defined an “enhanced risk” (level 3/5) of severe thunderstorms for the Tennessee Valley of North Alabama; a “slight risk” (level 2/5) extends as far south as Demopolis, Clanton, and Ranburne. For South Alabama, a “marginal risk” (level 1/5) is in place.



The primary window for strong to severe thunderstorms will come from around 4:00 p.m. tomorrow through 2:00 a.m. Wednesday. The main threat for Alabama will come from strong, potentially damaging straight line winds. The main parameters needed for tornadoes will be to the north, although an isolated tornado or two can’t be ruled out across North Alabama tomorrow night. Some hail is possible as well.

Rain amounts will be in the 1/2 to 1 inch for the northern half of Alabama, and under 1/2 inch for the southern counties of the state.

Wednesday will be breezy and much cooler with highs in the 57-64 degree range over North Alabama along with lingering clouds. South Alabama will see lots of sun Wednesday with a high in the 60s. Thursday and Friday will be sunny and cool statewide with a high in the 60s.

FROST/FREEZE THREAT: We have frost potential over the northern 2/3 of Alabama Friday, and possibly Saturday morning. Colder spots could see a freeze. Growers will need to monitor temperature forecasts.

THE WEEKEND: Dry weather continues over the weekend with lots of sun along with highs in the 70s. Next chance of showers will be at some point around the middle part of the following week. See the video briefing for maps, graphics, and more details.



ECLIPSE WEATHER: Alabama will experience a partial solar eclipse one week from today (Monday April 8)… for now we are forecasting a partly sunny sky. For those in the path of totality to the west and north of here, clouds will likely be an issue for states like Texas, Arkansas, and Missouri.



ON THIS DATE IN 1960: The first weather satellite, TIROS 1 (Television and Infra-Red Observation Satellite) began sending pictures back to Earth. The TIROS series would have little benefit to operational weather forecasters because the image quality was low and inconsistent. The most critical understanding achieved from the new technology was the discovery of the high degree of organization of large-scale weather systems, a fact never apparent from ground and aircraft observations.

ON THIS DATE IN 2023: An EF-3 tornado moved through northern Madison County near Hazel Green; one person was killed. An EF-1 tornado moved through parts of Marion and Winston counties.

 

Shit, my thought is you make me use my vacation(we no longer can cash out....unless we want to take a 50% cut).........so I don't care about staff My ETO is more of "I'm letting you know I won't be there since you force me to use it"

 

Sup Mike

 

You watch they'll be there in the next day or so.

 

Rite rite. We have the use or loose, vacation. Sick/flex time is the only thig we can get a payout on. That even blows when they tax it 40%. Much better to take the days.

 

I'm honestly ok with them showing up since I only paid $100($249 regularly) and if I get refunded.....I still have my Forma boots. So either way, I'll be aight

I started a claim on the 27th just in case. Ebay sent a message telling me to contact them on April 4th if I haven't received them.

 

They do the same to us. I would cash out my ETO and buy something I didn't need. Now if we cash out 100hrs....we only get paid for 50hrs. I refuse to give money back to the company. Fuck them. I'll get my full pay and not be at work.....if you're short staffed....your fault.
