The Lurker Thread

[daleron]

So are mine and some of my red and white tulips and my orange flowers,cant remember what their called Oh and my cherry and peach trees are blooming



I liked it till it started costing over 30 bucks to get it done

I want to plant some tulips, they are so pretty in the Spring

No, the problem child was end of last week and had to finish on them on Monday...although these two do fall in the more difficult to deal with spectrum.

Speaking of the problem child though...I got permission last week from the boss to write an email to them laying down the rules and what we would no longer accept from them. I was able to tell them that they have to make sure their payroll is correct before sending it in and that whatever I receive from them I will assume to be correct and will process as is...see, they kept sending me crap that they hadn't gone through where the employees clearly hadn't clocked out and were getting like a 100 hours of overtime, not to mention them constantly changing their hourly wage without telling me, missing tips, etc...I knew this wasn't correct and it required me to go back and forth with the client on each employee...this turned what should have been a 30 minute job into sometimes a 4 hour job trying to get everything correct.

I got fed up and the boss knew I was tired of it and so she let me do whatever necessary. And I tell you, it never felt so good to send an email as it did that one! When they saw that she backed me on the email, the time they submitted this time was miraculously correct! Guess they didn't want to end up paying thousands more!

Way to go Angel!

All of them?

Yes.

Here's a little story for you. Shortly after I got married and moved into Dh house, he went away on business.

Couple details: we didn't have central air, only a window unit in the bedroom.

We had a woodburning fireplace that we used to burn papers (junk mail, cc offers) year round.

It was a split ranch.

Ya see where I'm going with this. Lolol

Dh didn't close the flue? So I woke up one morning all alone in a new house and heard all this noise. Bedroom door was closed because the ac was on. I thought it was a burglar. I was freaked out. Cracked the bedroom door and heard the noise was coming from the spare bedroom.

A bird had gotten into the house down the chimney. It was freaking out in the spare room because it couldn't get out. I opened the front door and slider and didn't know how to get it from upstairs to downstairs. Plus I had to drive 45 min to work at the time.

Dh had previously been changing the screens in the windows. So I armed myself with a screen and went in. It was diving at me and I was screaming. It finally flew downstairs and out of the house. I ended up being late to work and it was just terrifying.

Sara, my mom was always terrified of birds too...she had an experience similar to yours when she was married to my dad because we used to have them fly down the chimney all the time too...she swore they were out to get her because they would dive at her head...she'd scream and run to get my dad to get rid of the "evil thing" as she put it...funny thing though, when she got older, she ended up with a couple of pet birds...go figure!

 

[oldbikeguy]

I'm glad it's not just me. Another time he left it open we were eating dinner. Kiddo was small because he was in a high chair. It flew into the kitchen and I was all "save yourself" and ran to the corner of the kitchen that had no windows. Poor kiddo was sitting in his high chair like I can't believe I left him just sitting there.

 

[daleron]

Oh my gosh!!!

Kids

That's what I think of every time I'm in close quarters. They are going to dive bomb me and peck my eyes out.
