- I like Cuban, but I disagree with him here. They're not just nailing him for the PEDs but for the obstruction, etc as well. -- nm - Stephen Aug 9, 08:26 2
  - The proof needs to come out. -- nm - Spawn Aug 9, 08:27 1
    - I assume it will after the arbiter rules. - Will Hunting Aug 9, 08:29

- Get a fake pregnant belly, find them in a restaurant and scream at him, "IT'S YOURS, YOU BASTARD!" -- nm - amoxy Aug 9, 08:02
- Sure...go ahead and tell her. When she completely falls apart, like you did and maybe does something drastic.... - Jim Aug 9, 08:01
- run, don't walk, away. -- nm - znufrii Aug 9, 07:58 3
  - Sounds like she is pretty much "away". More like, let it go. -- nm - Spawn Aug 9, 08:00 2
    - If she's close enough to consider insinuating herself into the situation, she's not "away". -- nm - znufrii Aug 9, 08:01 1
      - She is not "in" the situation at all, hence away, but will let you win this one. -- nm - Spawn Aug 9, 08:03
- Talk to your therapist, not write and ask someone you have never met. -- nm - Spawn Aug 9, 07:58 1
  - this. lessons learned are yours and yours alone. - OAE -- Explorer, Antarctica, Old Aug 9, 08:02
- No. - Strongbad Aug 9, 07:58 7
  - I look it from the POV - Strongbad Aug 9, 08:12 5
    - Because she's totally going to believe anything her fiancee's ex says about him... -- nm - znufrii Aug 9, 08:21 1
      - I would bet somewhere in between believing and completely dismissing. -- nm - Strongbad Aug 9, 08:23
    - Sounds like maybe the guy *has* changed his behavior if he is getting married. -- nm - Spawn Aug 9, 08:13 2
      - Maybe. Maybe not. - Strongbad Aug 9, 08:17 1
        
        And this girl dumped him. Leave him dumped, and move on. -- nm - Spawn Aug 9, 08:18

- You're out of the game....be content to be out of that game. -- nm - Will Hunting Aug 9, 07:58
pmb, spencer is child porn. not judd. sp ish - amanda Aug 9, 07:52 6
- Oh. I don't really know any of the guys names. I really would like to see this house nuked from orbit. -- nm - pmb Aug 9, 08:01 1
  - You should have stuck to your guns. They SHOULD be telling everybody that comes out that they're being investigated for child porn. -- nm - Ender Aug 9, 08:19
- Here's the end of the season finale - Strongbad Aug 9, 07:54 3
  - has amanda been fired, or is he indep? also, I love that spencer is union and basically untouchable here. -- nm - amanda Aug 9, 07:57 2
    - From what I've read, the official count is only 2. Aaryn and GM. -- nm - Strongbad Aug 9, 07:59 1
      - That's my understanding too. -- nm - Ender Aug 9, 08:19
1980 -- nm - Spawn Aug 9, 07:49 5
- Type that into YouTube when watching a video. Just saying... -- nm - Mop (200 lbs) Aug 9, 08:48
- I was 22 -- nm - amoxy Aug 9, 07:50 3
  - I was 4. -- nm - Krusty Aug 9, 07:52 1
    - I had my first birthday. -- nm - nubby, Astro-lord Aug 9, 07:53
  - It was a very good year. - Spawn Aug 9, 07:52
should we be sending good thoughts david/kim's way today. wasnt today the day we should be? -- nm - Truman Aug 9, 07:46 3
- Do you even read this board? -- nm - Spawn Aug 9, 07:46 2
  - maybe i have bacon killfiled. -- nm - Truman Aug 9, 07:47 1
    - That is quite understandable. -- nm - Spawn Aug 9, 07:48
so, here is the deal, i have never seen an employee manual, i have been told that if I leave i get paid for unused vacation, but there was a cap in - Truman Aug 9, 07:44 20
- Be happy if you get the 20. -- nm - mara Aug 9, 08:37
- I love that "bonus" of paid vacay when leaving jobs. extra paycheck! double pay for two weeks! - amanda Aug 9, 07:56
- I would say that you should get whatever is actually printed in the manual. In the state of Missouri - Jim Aug 9, 07:53 12
  - Whether the manual constitutes a contract depends in large part on how it's drafted. But there's a decent chance (given everything else about that - pmb Aug 9, 07:58
  - If he has never seen it, I am sure it will change to zero. -- nm - Spawn Aug 9, 07:55 10
    - he should ask to see the manual as he's resigning. -- nm - amanda Aug 9, 07:56 9
      - Absolutely. Actually, I'd go to the human resources person (or office manager or whoever would have the manual) and ask for it before I resign. -- nm - pmb Aug 9, 07:59 8
        
        I am of the impression that no such person exists in that office, that the boss does it all. -- nm - amanda Aug 9, 08:01 7
        
        I'd ask the other employees...I bet someone has a copy. -- nm - Jim Aug 9, 08:04 4
        
        the pointy-haired evil boss has the only copy. what i know about the 20 days is from the other employees - Truman Aug 9, 08:24 2
        
        Do you have a good relationship with her? (assistant, firm billing lady) - Strongbad Aug 9, 08:26 1
        
        I would, but she is out today (at a funeral) not sure if she is coming in this afternoon. -- nm - Truman Aug 9, 08:47
        
        I agree totally. -- nm - amanda Aug 9, 08:09
        
        Could be. If so, ask for it at time of resignation. -- nm - pmb Aug 9, 08:03
        
        me too - i have worked in small office -those positions don't exist. -- nm - Andie Aug 9, 08:01
- No one gets paid for sick time, so forget that. Fight for the 20 and call it a day. -- nm - spamlet Aug 9, 07:53
- It's pretty rare that sick time is paid out if you leave. -- nm - Strongbad Aug 9, 07:47 1
  - Would think so. - Spawn Aug 9, 07:48
- I set your expectations at not getting paid for any, knowing your boss. Then if you get anything, it's a nice bonus. -- nm - TWuG Aug 9, 07:45 1
  - agreed, the bonus is getting the eff outta there. nm -- nm - groiny Aug 9, 07:58

Walt Disney is an evil, evil human being and should be drowned in the 'water' that fills the canals of that ride. -- nm - Will Hunting Aug 9, 07:36 4
- Hehe :) -- nm - Walt_Disney Aug 9, 08:20

LIR: Tru -- lotsa advice on B2 - OAE -- Explorer, Antarctica, Old Aug 9, 07:32

- In their search box? -- nm - amoxy Aug 9, 07:52 2
  - No, just type it. It's like the Konami code. No need to type it in a text box for it to work. -- nm - TWuG Aug 9, 07:55 1
    - Ahhh, got it -- nm - amoxy Aug 9, 07:59
