Sort of. I have a trip to Knoxville planned for Thanksgiving. Not sure that really qualifies as a vacation, but it is at least time off.
Also, we've started doing an alternative work schedule where I am doing eight 9-hour days, one 8-hour day, and then I get to be off every other Monday. So because of that and Nevada Day on Friday, I'll have a four-day weekend this weekend, so I'm pretty excited about that!
I always want to elaborate on my frustration, but I feel weird about it. I doubt that anybody from my job would ever read what I've written on here, but I get paranoid. For this, I'll just say that I'm at least the fourth person to review the thing I am working on, but I am finding things in it that are just completely wrong. I know that mistakes happen, which is why we have this many levels of review, but it's pretty frustrating to be finding certain errors that just should never have made it to me.
I feel like I find an error of some sort in my own writing every time I review it. Regardless of which edit it is.
Oh, I do too. And I proof my work repeatedly before turning it in to my supervisor, and he still usually finds things to fix. And then we give it to my coworker for proofing, and she sometimes finds things to fix too. I absolutely know that some mistakes will happen no matter how much care you take. I was more talking about mistakes that definitely would not happen if even a little bit of care was put into trying to avoid them.
3 of my co-workers are commiserating how teenagers come to their houses in shitty costumes just to get free candy. To the point that they will tell them how bad their costumes are or sometimes even withhold treats.
Being a teenager sucks enough, just give them the candy and move on! Sheesh.
Maybe for you! I was starting qb, dating the head cheerleader and getting straight a's while having an affair with my gf's mom.
Oh wait no, I was depressed smoked a ton of pot and was on math team. I wasnt cool at all. Give them CANDY!
HA. I was on the SAT competition team, which is exactly as cool as it sounds. As for Halloween, this year my 15 year old went up to all of the houses with the baby's candy bucket, and I was glad no one gave her any grief. I mean, if a teenager wants to embrace the Halloween thing, just roll with it.
I have been incredibly occupied at work recently both handling my historic duties and learning new duties. I was optimistic coming into work today because I am in the office almost all week and should be able to catch up. I walk in today to all of our network being down which means I can make basically zero progress until that is fixed. Fucking great.

Isn't that a bitch? I find the more stuff I make plans to conquer, the less I get done. Very annoying.

I've finally discovered the downside to my job and, boy, is it a doozy...
The owner hasn't paid sales tax since she opened the shop. It's been over a year. I haven't gotten paid in 2 weeks. She has an outstanding bill with the mechanical company that installed our giant oven. It is for $10,000+.

I jumped on a flaming, sinking ship.
Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuudge. That is no bueno. Has she said anything about, you know, not paying you?

Oh no! That is NOT good. How did you find out about the taxes and the oven bill?

Nope! She keeps blaming the payroll company we use, when really it's her fault. She sends in payroll late all the time. We know that money is tight around the shop this time of year. We're not getting as much foot traffic because of the cold weather. We're really understanding about it. If you can't pay us, then tell us. Be open about it.
A few of us were discussing our options today. One of the other bakers has contacted his lawyer and gave him all the info about the business to find out exactly what kind of trouble we're looking at and what we need to do to protect ourselves from the shitstorm that is coming. Her tax bill is for more than the oven install.

She's been slowly cracking from stress and just blurted out the tax debt to one of the girls that works up front. She told me about the oven bill about a month and a half ago.

Oh snap! That is hardcore. I wish I had advice for you or her.

I'm starting my job search again. It's sad because I really love the place she created. That place is awesome, I love my co-workers, and I really like that the owner's mission is to use as much local and organic ingredients as possible. But you gotta pay The Man. That's rule number 1.

It sucks that you have to do that and that such a great place is going to the crapper due to not paying bills or the man. Good luck in your search. You seem to be very talented/knowledgable and I am sure that you will find a new job soon.

Log your hours and be ready to go to your state's version of the Department of Labor - like Wage and Hour division or something like that. Don't go there yet because it sounds like you have a good relationship with your boss and obviously this would be a sucky thing to have to do, but you'll have to figure out the right time to go. If she goes bankrupt unpaid workers salaries will be one of the highest priorities to pay back (basically after the IRS and the bankruptcy attorneys I believe).
The Orkin guy came by the office and now there is a brown mouse running around the office. UGH!!
That seems backwards from the way it's supposed to work.
You would think right? I think it smells the poison and is trying to get away. I just wish it would stay the fuck away from my desk and boot. I keep seeing it out the corner of my eye or feel it on my shoe and it freaks me out. I had mice, you would think this wouldn't bother me as much as it does.

This is solid advice. Also if you have paid time off or reimbursements or anything remember to log those. In most cases if you separate employment from someone they also owe you any time off you accrued.
So I couldn't access my voicemails, so called tech support. They rebooted the phones, which never came up. So I have a mouse running around, and no phones. Today is going great!

Unfortunately we don't get any kind of PTO.
I set off some sensor on the oven just now and give zero fucks.
But hey, we got paid yesterday so that's nice. Still quitting though. This bitch is crazy.
Example: she talks shit about the two other bakers behind their backs and tries to pit them against each other. She constantly criticizes the product we make whenever it's the one guy. Even though he does everything the same as me and the head baker. She is talking shit and giving one girl a hard time about time off. This girl just got diagnosed with cervical cancer.
I want to throw my apron on the table and walk out.
None of my conference calls can stick to the scheduled times today. This is driving me crazy. I have other things that I should be doing too but the dang calls take priority.
We have a box at work that customers can drop comment cards into, most usually say stuff like the music is too loud, or you should lower the prices, etc.
This one takes the cake.
On the other side there's questions, and his answer to "Who served you today" was "Dunno, too busy with food to notice"

Wow. She sounds like a truly terrible person. I'm sorry for you and your coworkers, and hope you can find something better (most things would be better!) soon.
Would anyone like to try to convince me why an HSA is better than traditional insurance (80/20)? My company is switching to all HSAs for next year and I'm little put off. Thinking I should shop around on the Healthcare Marketplace instead of going with this crap. I've never heard good things about HSAs but I'd like to hear if anyone has a good story, or can share some good points?

I have one. It is basically all we have, unless you want the steaming pile of shit they offer as an alternative. I was scared the first year, because you have a high deductible and you are basically on your own. But once you get some equity into it, you are self insured. And my work socks in a nice chunk of change as well. We can talk about it at the Sufjan Stevens show.
