OUR DEAR FRIEND HAS CANCER FCS

[A/C guy's chick]

I did the Nyquil on Friday night, after growing tired of the repetitive and cloying reporting of the day's events.

I felt better yesterday, well enough to take a service call.

Today, I learned a little about IP addresses, too. Weird.

yea IP addresses can mess up a good program or machining if not known..like CNC plasma cutters !!
Good afternoon Bret & all. Hubby making whiskey and I'm making candy. Hope y'all have a good day !

I think I dodged the cold, I started to get it, this is going to sound crazy but I worked in a disgusting pig sty of a house and poof it was gone, the polio and tb in the air must have scarred the cold virus away!

Try Oil of Oregano......couple shots in the back of the tongue and swallow (chase it with orange juice....it's vial stuff!) and the next day you're good.....kills all viruses and bacteria.....

Good morning, Bret and everyone.

I have a nasty cold to start my vacation. I took some Nyquil last night at bedtime, and stayed in the rack until almost 11 this am.

Bret, I hope you and Frank both feel better today!

You need to start your own company there Art.....then you can write all the cheques you want and deal with all the positive, happy, ambitious, hard working employees you can stand.....as they rip you for not being an 'nice boss'....

I made him an offer that I would continue to work, and he could pay me for the vacation I had already earned.

Instead, he is paying TWO guys today, who traveled first to my house (over an hour) to get the parts, and then, who will do the job I would have done in the same amount of time, and it will cost him more.

So, he decided to spend more on labor, when all he had to do was write a check, and spend less.

Feel good this morning

Way to go Bret......was hoping it'd blow over in a day or two when we talked on the weekend.....stay in today....

Makes a lot more sense......unless he's bound by the labour laws.......as we are here. I CAN'T have an agreement, even signed by all including individual's counsel.....which will allow me to work the guys over 8 or over 40 on a project, then if/when we get it done pay them out a bonus....NOT ALLOWED to do that.....so no bonus.....only O/T that is HEAVILY taxed, whereas the bonus could be in the form of contractual and subject to way less taxes.
Also, at Christmas, I'm not allowed to give them a bonus/gift.....without applying full tax on it.....not even once a year for $XXXX.XX dollars....$%#@ing government...!!!

Sure, he could have just wrtten a check, with the taxes, and he still would have saved money by doing that.

Doug,
Is your government as crooked and lame as ours?
