charlottechristy Posted June 4, 2008 Share Posted June 4, 2008 I work for the Government...seems like there aren't as many rights when you work for them. I asked for paid leave and that's what they are having a hard time with. But, in regs, it states that it can be given. I'm now on day 15 without an answer so, I'm probably going to file a grievance and a complaint with the Dept of Labor. I have medical appointments on Monday and they want me to come in work that day. I don't know which part of, "I'm sick" they don't understand. My Doctor wanted me to have a month off to get better and gave a note and everything. My Commander is just well, for a lack of a better word that can be used on here....MEAN!! I don't know how they can get away with that. Have you not gotworkers rights over there? The doctors here write a sick-note - and thats all it takes!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charlottechristy Posted June 4, 2008 Share Posted June 4, 2008 Hi Laurel, Good luck with winning those tickets! Hope you get them. Yes, Curly Locks makes everything a little more bearable. Hi guys... god have I had alot to catch up on on some of these threads since last night.... Sometimes It's not very wise to bugger off at 7.30pm.... Really hope I do though... I've missed them, though Curly Locks has made that alittle more bearable... How is everyone anyway... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wendi Posted June 4, 2008 Author Share Posted June 4, 2008 That is really rotten Charlotte - if you get worse just tell them you are going to sue them - that should put the wind up them!!! Hiya Laurel - I will keep my fingers crossed for you to win the tickets!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robertina Posted June 4, 2008 Share Posted June 4, 2008 thanks laurel for letting us know about this competition. i wish we could have something similar in the future, but...in every country! i mean, if it's valid only for the UK ppl (or US ppl) what about us, liìving abroad? it should be done in every country the artist is going to tour!

charlottechristy Posted June 4, 2008 Share Posted June 4, 2008 OH, Yes, that has crossed my mind. My Mother is really angry about it all. She does all she can not to call the Commander and give him a piece of her mind. I have to remind Mum that I'm a grown up and that she really can't do that now.

I know how she feels When my oldest son was nearly at dropping point, and still having to put in 70 hour weeks it took all my self control not to phone his boss and give him a rocket!!

I know with all the Blur Fan Club gigs I went to... (I went to four) they were all in the UK too... (3 were in London and 1 in Birmingham)... I know Blur Fans were abit miffed at the time if they weren't UK residents, they didn't really get a look in... Franz have mostly only done UK Fan Club things too... but to give them their due, the Fanclub has only been going for just over a year. I was a member of Blur's for over 10 years so they didn't have that excuse. I hope if Mika does something like this he'll think of those Mika fans abroad. Not that I'll complain if he does do London of course I just don't like seeing people miss out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mamacatt Posted June 4, 2008 Share Posted June 4, 2008 this is what caught my eye at the library (I briefly considered War & Peace!)Dickens- Mystery of Edwin Drood Sinclair Lewis-Main Street Theodore Dreiser/F. Scott Fitzgerald- collections of short stories. and- because it looks like fun: Hairstyles of the Damned by Joe Meno. My neighborhood library is really small, I prefer the huge one dontown, but that will have to wait a few more weeks until I can ride the train comfortably. now I'm exhausted and must take a nap! bye for now- Happy reading, Leona! Do you ever listen to books on tape/CD? I find it helps to make drudge work bearable (maybe even enjoyable!) Also may be easier for you to rest and heal this way. *pictures Leona, eyes closed, feet up and smile on her face as she listens to story* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charlottechristy Posted June 4, 2008 Share Posted June 4, 2008 Robi, this will pass. Thank you! You know, in my experience, I've noticed that whenever something bad happens to me, something more incredible happens later. So, just have to stick this out to see what that incredible something is.

mamacatt Posted June 4, 2008 Share Posted June 4, 2008 Hey Charlotte! sounds like your "commander" has a little too much control over employees and a too little human compassion. Hope things get sorted out, and you get the chance to recuperate properly. Laurel, good luck with winning those tix! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wendi Posted June 4, 2008 Author Share Posted June 4, 2008 It is quiet - but the chat room was starting to buzz earlier. My flash player keeps kicking me out - so it limits my time in there. Greta and Sheena were chatting when I left Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
