My company pays double time, so I work

4 hours spread out through the day on those days, maybe a few in the morning and then a few at the end of the day. There is never a shortage of people wanting to make double time on these days. At the places I have previously worked, we did an every-other-year thing for both these holidays unless people didn't want to work them, and nobody was forced to. If you don't want to work a certain day for religious beliefs, you should state this up front, otherwise ask them their policy and whether or not that is something that would work for you. You always have a choice not to take that position.

I did leave MQ, thanks to lack of work started PT with another company and full time yesteday.
.
Thanks. I am total IC and work for one company..sm
and I have worked for them for 3 years. I do have a FED ID #, as my employer requested that I have one when I first started. Hence, I also have a business name, but I file under my SS# and my personal name, not my business. I thought maybe that would make a difference. I still have the letter, as I keep all of that stuff *just in case.* I know that being an IC, we are *suppose* to file quarterly and I did read somewhere that there may be fines involved if you don't, so I did not think too much about it when it happened. I file in April and everything is in their officed prior to the 15th, so that could not be a reason why the fine, either. Needless to say, I am confused. Maybe I will seek out an accountant this year and leave all that stuff in their hands. It is getting to be a drag and too time consuming for me anyway. just trying to save a buck, even though I know it is deductible. thanks for answering me. I appreciate it.
I used to work for a finance company many in an earlier lifetime, sm
At that time, I never saw anything repossessed. However, they would guarnishee people's wages. The first thing you need to do is to contact the lenders to work something out. Sometimes they used to refinance the loans to lower the payments. Or, you could contact somebody like Consumer Credit Counseling Service (be careful and find a legitimate company). They can work out deals with your creditors. Be prepared that this will not help your credit rating, but the companies usually work with you if you are up front and communicate with them. At least they did back when I was working with them. The worst thing to do is to avoid them.
On the other hand, if you financed the furniture through the store, it could be that they would repossess. I know they do with cars.
What I was referring to was taking out a loan and putting down household goods as collateral, which is what people did when I was working for the finance company.
His time, not company's.

Maybe next time hire a company that employs US citizens ; )

I work part-time as a MT and I also do a little
subbing when I can. I never appreciated the teachers that taught my children until I started subbing. Where I live teachers are certainly underpaid. My SIL is a teacher and loves her job and is a wonderful teacher. I wish she could get paid for her passion for teaching.
I work about 10 hours a day with very little time off. nm

Working now though, doing work I had no time to do - sm
over the weekend, and it is due tomorrow morning 8 a.m.; so working on Christmas unfortunately. But luckly it will only take about 3 hours, but still a drag.
I, too, have fibro and work part-time
I work only 20 hours a week -and so far my PS is working really well with me on the days that I am not feeling well (which it also kind of helps that work has been slow)...I'm new to the fibro world so who knows what the future holds though.
and try finding time to workout between children and work...
I wish I had the energy of my 8 year old....
My biggest time waster/sucker-upper is work related
If I need to research a word or a procedure and I find a link with downloadable free surgical videos...watch out! Fascinating stuff and man, you learn a lot when you watch them and it's accompanied by the surgeon talking the watcher through step by step, because then it really gels in your head.
I do most of my shopping on line though, just because the only stores near me are Walmart and Target, which totally don't buy stuff I need around here. However, sister wouldn't get paid if I did it during work hours, because I spend too much time researching the best deals and always free shipping, so that can take up quite a bit of time.
Are you serious? What bride pays for the dresses? LOL

any insurance co that pays preventative???
I am seriously thinking of switching from BC/BS as i'm so aggravated that they don't pay for preventative exams/procedures. You'd think it would be to everyone's advantage to do so. If you know of a major insurance company that i might look into, please let me know. thanks.
Think about who pays for public school.
People in the local district pay school and property taxes, so they pay for their schools. Or, more precisely, they pay for the young people in their district to be educated, since it's not just parents who pay these taxes.
So, no. Students may not freely transfer to other public districts, because their parents or guardians have not paid taxes in other districts.
In our district, we paid the taxes before we had children. We paid the taxes while our children were growing up, even though our children attended Catholic schools and we paid tuition. Now that our children are grown, we continue to pay taxes. I don't mind paying the taxes, because it's part of my civic duty to help to educate ALL the young people in our community.
I hear you on that one, and it DEFINITELY pays to check out the US educated M.D.'s as
well...some of the horror stories I have heard from OR nurses give one pause to check out any MD before ANY SURGICAL PROCEDURE!
Ours isn't due until July, and since DH is self-employed and pays quarterly tax estimates...
the "stimulus" is going toward the tax bill. Ironic, huh?
Oh, and if you want to get mad, listen to this. Our former foster son's parents are Korean citizens. They have green cards and are considered permanent residents of the US, but they live in S. Korea. They travel here twice a year but live and work in S. Korea. They do file US tax returns, but they don't make enough there (or they don't report enough!) to actually pay much in taxes. Yet, they are getting a stimulus payment. Now tell me why that's fair?
Blech! The worst coffee ever. No wonder they're closing stores, who pays for that garbage?

A double duh here
I was answering the post above me when they said Merck would benefit off these injections. Yes, I said, that is what most pharmaceutical companies are in the business for. I use medications, my husband does, my whole family does. I really don’t understand what you are trying to say?? This in no way will effect me whether it is mandatory or not.
Wal-Mart does offer health insurance to their workers. Wal-Mart pays part and the employee SM
pays part of the premium. Just like other companies do.
Double Yea to Andy!
Good for him! Good for you!
I will not tell you what my first thought was when you wrote "detasseling", but I can assure you it had nothing to do with corn!
My son is a college student. He has a job on campus. I pay the college bills he pays for whatever he needs while at school. This is his 2nd year and so far so good - he's never asked me for money. He was home on break a few weeks ago and was so excited to show me this t-shirt he bought at a Goodwill store. It was black with a very large photo of Michael Bolton on it. He thought it was a riot, and so didn't I because we both have a warped sense of humor. He is a very preppy-looking kid, usually wears a white t-shirt with an opened collared shirt over it, nice jeans, clean-cut, short hair. The Michael Bolton t-shirt is SO unlike him. He's now looking for a shirt with David Hasselhoff on it. You will may be entertained by what your son buys.
Enjoy these years, they are THE best!
Thanks. I will be sure to double check this. nm

Say what, in the south we have double
names for males also, since when did you think it stopped at females?
Funny that the double name comes up
I was going to add that to my original post, as both of her girls have double names. So, for the third girl, she wants to keep it the same. They have kind of given up on that tho, since they haven't been successful at finding anything. Thanks a bunch!!!
double standard
Men have been doing it for centuries....marrying and/or keeping mistresses about 15-20 years younger and nothing is said about it, other than "You lucky dog."
Why is it so frowned upon in society for women to consider the same option?
Ditto and NEVER again. I'd rather pay double! lol
Amazing what some people will do to save a buck.
Oh no, we're going to H E double L!
Are you even capable of making a point without the scare tactics? And you wonder why bible thumpers like you are laughed at.
It is considered a double negative, sm
and not standardly use. Use "regardless", or "irrespective". It is considered bad grammar.
According to Wikipedia, double-wides just
depreciate more slowly than single-wides:
"Others have strongly limited or forbidden all single-wide models, which tend to depreciate in value more rapidly than modern double-wide models."
And modern double-wides depreciate less quickly than older double-wides:
"Newer manufactured homes, particularly double-wides, tend to be built to much higher standards than their predecessors and meet the building codes applicable to most areas. This has led to a reduction in the rate of value depreciation of most used units."
Unfortunately that's still losing money instead of making it.
I had a mouse get in my double oven many
years ago and get electrocuted on the wiring. Needless to say the kitchen smelled like something dead for DAYS. I tore the room apart and never found it. When we took the front electrical panel off 3 months later to replace a report, there it was! Looked like it was crucifed. All bones and they all fell out all over the stove. Yuk.
I double lock the door and have a
security latch as there's been a lot of break-ins at gun point lately. We live in an apt and since I work overnight I've actually had people that thought my door was their door and tried to unlock it...drunk ones, of course.
I've thought about leaving my keys in the car and the windowns down (1999 car with 137,000 miles on it)....JOKING.
Are we going to h-e-double-hockeysticks in a handbasket or what? NM

Please forgive the double post. Wise NM

modular/manufactured (double) are built the same
the modular comes in sections, the manufactured comes in halves. The specifics are the same.
Just chop it and double bag it in the freezer. You'll be
s
I'm short so I always have to pull my straps double all the way
I get mine at Walmart and Target. but I was thinking maybe if I get a few good bras they would stay. So I went to VS and holy moly...$50 bucks for a bra? I'll stick with my slippin straps!
You can buy a single/double burner at lab supply - sm
or jewerly supply places for about $30. We (jewelers) use it to heat up pickle solution (cleans the metal after soldering). I bought might from a place called Rio Grande, big jeweler supplier. You can probably find one used on ebay or craigs list though.
I remember when Nancy Reagan had a double mastectomy
and if I remember correctly, she was only diagnosed with it in 1 side. Not that you have cancer but I remember thinking and talking about her at that time I thought have a bilateral mastectomy was the way I would do in case of this ever happening, plus as aggressive chemo and whatever. Up to now, no further problem with her and I thought she made the right decision, just to be rid of the concern about the other breast eventually having to go back again. By the way, had hysterectomy, not for tumor but unending bleeding and probably best thing I ever did, vaginal route, really no down time, no pain (unlike before). Good luck with your decision.
Separate bathrooms would definitely be great, or 1 huge one. Nix to the double
s
I wear Bali double lift bra. I know Penneys SM
has a large selection of all size bras and even have professional fitters come in a couple of times a year.
Looking at holiday pics, I am so disappointed in my double chin. sm
Any ideas how to get rid of this fat bag around my chin/neck area? Do you just have to lose a lot of weight for it to decrease? I am obese at 180 lbs, 5Ɗ". But boy it just looks horrible in pics. It bothers me more than the actual overall weight does. Guess diet is in for my New Years's resolutions........
Oh, and double check which side you are supposed to sleep on (sm)
I think it is your right side. I slept on the opposite side from the correct one but can't remember which is which...one side will help your body filter out toxins and the other side makes it harder.
Doesn't she still live in that trailer? Or has she graduated to a double wide? lol

his head is over the door. People double-take, point, and laugh. Everybody loves big sweet Walter. n

Yes - does not work! Hoax if you ask me. MetaboLife doesn't work either.
The only thing that works for me is exercise and eating correctly! No quick fix, unfortunately.
I tried a big company, but
I didn't like the rigidity of their plan. You want somebody who is flexible in the cleaning rotation if they rotate their area of concentration. I mean, this company wanted to waste a clean by detailing my office and bedroom and laundry area. Nobody sees those areas, so if I have company coming over, attention needs to be paid to the areas we'll be using, you know? But they had to follow their national plan.
Plus, DH and I didn't appreciate having to spend every other day off preparing for them to come. Some days you want to spend in the yard and let the house go, but when somebody is coming to clean, you need to have picked up so they can vacuum and wipe counters, etc.
Which company did you use? NM

I went with a company...sm
We went with InCharge. The credit cards were out of hand and I was fed up. It took 1-2 months to get everything set up. We pay them $40 a month for their service, but the interest rates were knocked down to 6% so we are still saving bunches of money. We have have all the credit cards paid off in 2 more years. As for working out something with the credit card companies directly, they would not work with us so this is the route we went. Do not regret it at all.
Which company has this.
:
unwanted company
Ditto -- Just don't answer the door. We moved to the country to get away from that sort of thing and it still happens. I hate it too.
Just because a company offers 8....
Just because a company offers 8 cpl doesn't mean they won't up that for experience. I was offered 8 and said no and now I get 10 cpl.
For what company? See, that's the thing - I
have tested for numerous companies, and passed with flying colors, then when it comes down to the job offer, they offer me about what I am making now. That is why I would like to just know what companies out there are paying 10 cpl so I can just bypass all the ones that offer low pay; otherwise, I just see myself wasting my time, taking all these tests and in the end being offered no more than what I'm getting now. Can anyone out there who makes 10 cpl tell me what company they work for?
