The Coffee House

[limr30 3]

Tomorrow is the federal holiday for Veteran's Day, so banks will be closed.

It's not the end of the world, and if they're going to choose a paycheck to mess up -- at least its the middle of the month, and not the end of the month, haha. But seriously. It shouldn't be that hard.


In other news...we finally had a true killing frost today. 29* when I left the house this morning. Nothing better than the frost "smell" with leaves still blowing around.

HR said that it was issued incorrectly. Now it's a matter of the Payroll office fixing it. I guess when my wife contacted the HR person this morning, her response was "Are you 'jamming' kidding me? Again?" .

Ah, I was going to say that it's hard to say if this was a payroll mistake or an HR mistake.

Speaking as someone who enters hours for payroll and is often caught in the middle, it is usually one or the other, OR it's the middle person.

And no, it's not that hard.

Or men can just keep their attention focused on what women are saying instead of what they're wearing.

In a case like that, I don't see that man or woman matters. Inappropriate is inappropriate.

Please don't make it about men and women, because it's not. I'd be equally put off if a man dressed inappropriate for the situation they were in. Call me old school but I believe how you dress is the first step in how you wish others to view you.

Sitting on my hands and holding in several extremely funny but too liberal for the main forum responses. I will just say that Fox knows exactly who their audience is, especially their biggest fan.

Ooops! Sorry, couldn't hold it in.

Then why are all of these comments directed at how women are dressed? Where is the talk about how we can't take Zuckerberg seriously because it's not appropriate to be wearing a hoodie in a professional environment?

Which news agency does Zuckerberg work for?

Now now, Leo...he knows how & when to wear a nice suit! When he wants money from a fabulous new partner, like from....another country which will not be named but is long considered adversarial to the U.S.

Sounds great, except you let slip what channel you were watching. Given the recent *ahem* turnover in top management and the firing of one certain high-profile *anchor,* I can state firmly that it is PRECISELY about men...and women.

I don't watch the news so the only panties I'll be seeing are the wife's when I do her laundry tonight. I will probably not be listening to her either, she's been in a bad mood from work and being married to me....

 

[vintagesnaps]

I don't know if I wanna know what channel. But I found Curling!!! why Curling Night in America is on now I don't know but thank goodness for something decent to watch til I have to go deal with laundry.

I don't know how there can be a bazillion cable channels and still daytime TV is the worst! All these one word titles, The Chew, The Kitchen, which are at least tolerable, some of them I wouldn't watch if they paid me.

Obviously you don't know me or you would know that the same would have been directed toward him, if I had seen him in a setting inappropriate for the way he was dressed. Again "it's not a man/woman thing", it's any man or woman dressing inappropriately for the situation they are in. Had the young lady in question been in a social setting I wouldn't have commented, but she wasn't, she was a panel commentator on a national news segment. The other three women were all nicely dressed, but yet didn't feel the need to flash their butts. I haven't seen any men on the news feel the need to come on in gym shorts with their junk hanging out. Why would this one young woman think it appropriate, or for that matter why would any news channel deem it appropriate and allow it.

What kind of message does this send to aspiring young reporters coming up???? Well gee, I don't have to really know anything I just have to flash something.

Over the years I've dealt with a lot of professional people both men and women who were outstanding in their field. I've also dealt with a few that weren't. I took my business very seriously, didn't matter what color, race, sex, religion....impress me with your ability, and you get my respect.

I mentioned the channel because that's were it was, though I suspect if I were to scroll through enough of the others I would eventually find the same thing at one point or another. As I said I have an aversion to all of the cable news channels. I did keep the financial news channels on for awhile, but now I mostly just keep an eye on my investment news feeds. Sad really.

Agreed 240 channels that I'm paying for and I probably watch less than 20 on a regular basis.

My mom used to do payroll for the county voc tech school (where I live not where I worked), it sounded like it was loads of fun! But my mom is pretty organized and on top of things and if anything was usually on somebody else about some goof up.

I worked for a county agency but not THE COUNTY... and not where I live but in THE CITY. So we were um, something... didn't have to be, um something else... but we weren't in a union. lol But there was a lot of stuff we had to do to maintain status, trainings, etc. I liked the annual video with the guy who inhaled chemicals he mixed and keeled over every damn year! ya think he'd learn. Or the video on tornado drills etc. and we watched a clip of that movie with the flying cows.

I don't know if payroll goof ups ever happened, nothing would surprise me but doing everything in triplicate and what not maybe prevents some of that. Or makes it worse! I don't really miss all that.
