Maybe I'm too used to the wifey's cooking, but how the hell do you fuck up chicken parm!? I feel like every time I try it at a restaurant they fucking botch it.

Stay the fuck away from uverse. Random day long outages at least once every 2-3 weeks with no compensation is fucking horrible.
Slight update to all of this. After speaking with a lawyer, he affirmed that I had a strong case but he didn't recommend hiring a lawyer due to the amounts. Eating up 40-50% of the potential payout in fees likely wouldn't be worth it since as strong as it is, it's possible the court could still rule against me and I'd be stuck with the fees, while I'd just have a lawyer handling something that's easy enough to handle on my own. Pretty much risk vs reward wasn't there, or he didn't think such a case was worth his time and he just wanted to sugar coat it.
That said, I've moved forward. I sent the demand letter and the CEO emailed back that day to try and put things to rest. Things didn't go anywhere, the only thing he agreed to pay was the $150 uniform deposit. The other $2100 in wages he declined to pay. I explained per the letter, the company had until 7/31 to handle things before I'd go to the county to file the case. I've printed up the forms and have all my evidence in order to prove that the commissions/vacation/unpaid raise are due. At this point, I don't mind if it goes to court because the filing fees are so low and there's a line in Ohio's revision that if you can prove "willful, wanton, or reckless misconduct or bad faith" in the payout of the commission, the employer is liable for up to 3x the commissions in damages. I have the evidence to prove that, even more so because I told the CEO I had this evidence, and he still declined to pay out. This'd top out the claim to the $6000 max that Ohio allows small claims court to handle.
Went to Safeway tonight after movie specifically to use my coupon for Halo Top. End up picking up some other items including an awesome deal bone in ribeye steak for $6.99/lb so forget to actually use coupon. Welp just means I'll have to get more next week I guess lol.
Re: comcast stuff, you dont actually need to yell. What you say is more important than how you say it, if theor procedures are anything like ours. Be prepared to ask to cancel immediately.
I'm trying to decipher this statement. Are you saying when calling into Comcast, you don't need to yell, just say what you want and it will get done. Not understanding why I need to be prepared to ask to cancel immediately? Is this a really bad mobile autocorrect thing?
I'm saying that if their procedures are anything like ours, the fact that you're yelling has no bearing at all on what we can do. Unless you get particularly vile (a line which is up to our own discretion) we're expected to just buck up and take it, and even once you cross that line, we'd be escalating within out own department. We have rules about when we can transfer to retention, that sort of thing. For us, we can only do that if you ask to cancel your services right there on that call. Corporate has essentially decided to call that bluff ahead of time, so you need to be prepared to actually cancel the services before you can get any promotions and shit.
Also, you don't want to be labeled an abusive caller, either. Then you get stonewalled immediately until the same people you've been talking to get back on the line with you, and they're not going to change anything about what they're prepared to do.
The Internet at work is out which means I get to fart around until it's fixed but ultimately is gonna be a PITA because I can't do anything without it so I'll probably get stuck staying late once it finally does come back.
Bad part is I got the promotion and then they've added stuff to it... while my service has gotten worse <.<. Not sure if I can technically cancel since just got new contract but yeah not paying for the extra fees they've tacked on when I'm not even getting those "extras" or even the base service
Over last 2 days been getting spammed by emails all with different titles but from the same teaparty site. Click them open and they say they are to my boss but somehow are going to my personal email. Holy shit though some of this stuff is Alex Jones level conspiracy theory lol
And you're opening spam in the first place...why? That's just begging for a virus.
well it went to inbox and some of the emails I get don't that I want don't really say who it's from till you open it and it wasn't obvious spam until I got the gist of the bunch of them. It's not like I clicked anything in the email itself
edit: on hold with Comcast and the stupid hold music and messages stop... still connected so not sure if I should hang up and try again or not
Lol god this guys explanation. Tv fee is to pay for transmitting signals to your tv... so how is that paid for already in the tv part of the package?
And the explanation for the internet is some kind of crazy ass bs. Like apparently the package is only for 55 mpbs... except for the promotion makes it 200 mpbs... but also adds on an extra $20 without telling you. Great promotion guys. Especially since the highest I clock in at is 90 and I spent most this weekend at <10. Welp downgrading to just internet and only 100 since apparently I can't get higher download speeds in this apartment.
And then the person I transfer to is telling me different pricing than that guy.... which ends up being exactly what I'm at now. Much higher than I was told when I signed up for the deal and higher than what others in the bay area pay. Ending up telling me for the 49.99 the first guy told me would get me 100 mbps that I'd only get 10 and that it's because they invest so much into infrastructure... so much that I ya know often get much less. Fuck my phone gives me 10mbps mobile and that's only $35 a month with no hidden fees. Yeah totally lost it and hung up
Our school is only two blocks away from the local community college, and we have a partnership with them so students can take college classes for free. Which is awesome. But last year the classes were after school, and they were talking about having the students take it during the day. Because of that, they talked a lot about having our schedule switch to block scheduling. Now, we are also switching to a 1-to-1 school (computers for every student) which means that whether the schedule changed or not, I was redoing my lesson plans madly. But I didn't know whether to design them for a 2 hour class, or a 50 minute class. I kept asking, but they kept saying, "we haven't decided yet." So, I haven't done much planning this summer.
I just got a text from one of my students with a printout of the schedule. So, they knew the schedule before the admin announcing it to the teachers. And on top of that, it looks ridiculous. Classes are all 53 minutes, but now we have advisory 5 times a week instead of 4, and twice a day instead of once. Which is dumb.
Advisory, fyi is the new version of homeroom where you get the kids for four years. Except most schools have an independent lesson plan created by a team for advisory for things like real world skills and community service.
Except we don't have that, and I don't have the time to create some awesome plan for it. And they basically want the kids sitting there reading 15 minutes a day, which they don't. Even my best students act ridiculous during that time. /whine
Random memory, was it you that had a gofundme for providing laptops to your students like a year or two ago? Remember seeing it posted here and had contributed a bit, would be glad to see it all paid off and the school system opened their eyes.
Regardless if it was or not, going 1-to-1 is awesome, it's so important for kids to be around tech and get that mindset and habits down pat so they don't struggle down the road. Growing up, my school didn't even have computers for anyone until the 5th grade. Even then it was just a lab with 20ish systems that the entire middle school of 600ish kids shared. At least they shaped up by time freshman year rolled around.
That scheduling nonsense blows. Teach them mad meme skills, surely they'd be on board.
Yep that was me. I couldn't get the funding, so if you donated gofundme should have emailed you to choose whether to get the money back or donate it elsewhere.
I can't take credit for the one to one, but I was pretty vocal about it last year, so who knows how much of it was influenced by me. I am sooo excited to be doing this. I am trying to design the class similar to an online course, but with a big safety net, so students become better at being independent learners. Kids don't need to memorize as much anymore. What they need to learn is how to find the answers.
After successfully avoiding a lot of regulatory oversight, I am now on two sides of my company which involve different government oversight procedures.
This.
This is hell.
Bright side is I get to work from home 3 days a week at least now.
