Happy Mothers Day!

Good point about Small business and the Government Insurance burden being laid upon them... that is a bunch of crock! More like an effort to kill off the middle class.

Hello, how are things?

Thank you for accepting my Buddy Request!! The avatar is an old pic of me.... lol Have a great and safe week.. :)

Spot on comments re minimum wages, and I'm impressed by your profile remarks & quote. Buddy up, please.

I know what you mean. I have that defiant nature myself. If I am going to be a rug to be walked over, management should be careful they don't trip up on one of the employee handbook, union rules, state or Federal laws! I'm watching for everything. Darn migraines. I need to have a 3-day series of treatments and I'm reading the employee handbook. They could require FMLA paperwork and I may not qualify because I had an injury and light duty in 2012. I may not have worked enough hours to qualify for FMLA - I know I'm close to the 1250 hour requirement. I hate being in this predicament - I have had a migraine since 12/26 and the urgent care treatment didn't help much and I have already missed 3 days of work. Then there is the cost factor. My insurance company had to approve the treatment so I know this will be more than the $10 copay. I'm guessing it's going to be about $300 out of pocket. This just plain sucks!

Hi TigerPaw46. Thank you for the kind holiday wishes and a Merry Christmas, happy holidays and happy new to you! - - - I also hope our economy improves and lifts the wages of all of us. The main reason for the deficit is that we're still in the great recession. - - - The federal and many state governments would have a lot more tax revenue flowing in, if we had a lot less unemployed and under-employed. - - Cheers and best wishes in the new year!

I condensed the joke/poster quite a bit but it really seems to ring true when it comes to communication between workers and management. I got a cute email from my daughter that was similar. The new organizational chart. A group of birds are sitting on power pole cross arms. The birds on the bottom row look up and only see a-holes and the birds on the top look down and only see sh-t heads. Hope you get a laugh out of that one too. I did and I was even brave enough to send it to the general manager at work. He thought it was funny and in a sneaky way I was able to "express my feelings" about him!
