BUMP -

Just got my shipping email from Ray, so he is still on a 24 hour turnaround even with these sales and increased business! I guess our VVV Leader is doing well after his surgery!

#3 As usual, I worked all weekend. Friday night, Saturday night, and Sunday lunch shift. We also, and very unfortunately, had a server staff meeting at 9AM on Saturday. Just the normal "good job, but do better" routine, but it really upset my schedule because I stayed up til 4 on Friday night. It was mandatory, so a couple servers who didn't show got spanked for not being there. I think one of them actually lost their job over it. My question: if they're not paying you to be there, can they make it mandatory to attend? Seems kinda sketchy to me. Anybody have more info on that than I do?

I don't think so, mandatory meetings I am pretty sure have to be paid. I would look into your states employment laws on that.

The Kitchen And Dining Area:

Almost everything including the furnture, windows, and lightening (The ones over the counter & Table - I helped with) are handmade by "My" best Friend Tom who died a couple of years ago from Diabeties. AND - One of "My" Favorite things he made - is the "Stainglass Rose Window".




THANKSGIVING 2012:
BTW: I'm somewhere in that picture right next to "My" other Best Friend Cindy Tom's Wife. . .




OH - I almost forgot "The MILL" was actually shown on HGTV's "Extreme Homes" a Few Years ago . . .

beautiful pics Uncle and "I" see "you" just sayin

Same here! I'm impressed.

@Tish- unless it's a training meeting, or they make you work somehow, it's probably legal. Very lame, but legal. I've gone through the same thing at many jobs, some paid and some didn't. There was at least some free food or drinks though. Owners and management should understand how unpaid mandatory meetings undermine moral and breed contempt. An unhappy customer service staff is bad for business. In other words, your bosses are .......

Uncle,

Thanks for sharing that glimpse into your New Hope world.... Some really cool stuff!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Schnarph]

I forgot to comment on the photos Uncle, that's a pretty looking house you stayed in! I'm guessing that most of those beautiful windows don't open, and without AC...yeesh. That would not work out well down here in Texas.

Congrats MrPicC!!!

Sheesh... I was trying to use one of those little bottles that you can barely drip juice out of and I squeezed it so hard to hurry it up that I popped the tip off and sprayed juice all over my desk and monitor... I see that I missed wiping up some juice on my keyboard XD

Ahhhhhh, posting numbers feels much better

4. That happened to me once! It was a 60ml bottle and I lost over half of it all over my kitchen! Took me 2 1/2 hours to clean it all up! Got it in my hair & eyes too! I've learned that I like syringes now! I was advised to use a paperclip to open the hole on the tip a little more to avoid that in the future.

Lisa I can relate to those bottles you squeeze like heck and only get a drop at a time... I think I got some from Perfumers Apprentice.... Fortunately I havent popped the tip out.

That happened to me and that's why I only use bottles with the Luer Lock caps and blunt needle tips now. Never again with that mess!

YEA - Tom actually made all the Windows and Doors each and everyone of them are handcarved and he did the stainglass in each of them too . . .

Even the Garage door (which does "roll-up") of the back Workroom was one of the last ones he made . . .
