Good Morning!

Unky, I want to come visit Mauritius some day, so if you ever do hotel management, which I don't advise you do, you should hook me up! Haha

It was nearly 60° here yesterday, today mid 40's and windy as hell which means that I will be outside picking up the paper off the slopes. Yay! I hate my life...

My boss layed me off today. I am not surprised. Trust me. But as he is telling me this in is own words he said the 2 checks I am sitting on that wont cash, will never cash. This past week that I worked? I am not getting paid for. He told me to just go ahead and apply for unemployment and say I was laid off on the 7th. Of course because he had no intentions on paying me for this past week. Here is the best part. During this discussion he said he still needed help though. I am a smart girl but at that point I was lost. I asked him if he was out of his mind. He seriously was laying me off, but still expects me there Monday morning like a normal work day and wants me to work on unemployment. WOW! Is all I could say to him. I gave him some choice words let me tell you. I asked him if he realized the trouble I could get in doing that if we were caught. He told me to say I was just hanging out. Wow again. I nicely reminded him that when I go home and tell my husband I am unemployed that his store is now the last place I need to be. If I am there I had better be coming home with a "real" check or my hubby would turn him in so fast its not even funny. All this crap and bull and all of it I have struggled through. All the people I watched him dump on and I was that last man standing. Well atleast the others got paid on there way out. I am in such frustrations and stress I can't even have a darn drink!

If you could afford the bounce fees... cash those checks (go to the bank they are issued from, that same branch if possible) and if they bouce.. IMMEDIATELY go to the police and get him charged for passing bad checks... then file suit against him in court for the money... small claims court obviously...

It's a cruel thought... but maybe that would push him to take a header of the roof.

Hey... you worked the hours... YOU are entitled to that money... besides... he can pay you for it (cash rather than check)... or you can go to the arson investigators to tell them everything you know... ;) And after screwing you out of two paychecks... (heck even one) you could do it with a clean concience.

If you spend 5 minutes there on on the phone on store business... unpaid... after all of this, then you need your butt kicked every bit as much as he does.

What is it they always say... what goes around... comes around.

Nah, after all, I'll not be looking into Hotel Management. Apparently, there is a great possibility that the first boss puts me on the night shifts and keeps me there for a long time. I don't think that working only at night is something I'll do.

Still looking more into Actuarial Science (jobs in banks and insurance companies mainly) and Chiropractic Science (mainly putting the bones of people in the right place).

I'm personally more attracted to Actuarial science because of the math involved. Now, I'm checking some universities providing scholarships, full if necessary. I've found Macquarie in Aussie and MIT in US. I don't know quite yet the exact conditions for the scholarships, but I hope I'll found out soon. Either that, or finding another university with full scholarships possibility. If there are none, then I'll resolve to partial ones.

Unky if you can get into MIT with a scholarship that would be great.

adam_89 · Feb 14, 2011, 06:39 AM

I think you could get into MIT. A school for very smart kids like yourself. If I am thinking of the right one, then very smart, talented kids... Like you.

I was joking about the hotel thing, I wouldn't want you wasting your time and skill by doing a job like that.

Stringer · Feb 14, 2011, 06:44 AM

60's... great Adam. Maybe winter is losing its grip, finally.

adam_89 · Feb 14, 2011, 06:55 AM

I sure hope so, looks like you are looking at some warmer weather yourself huh?

I seen like 5 spiders in my house yesterday. The warm must have brought them out. Or in however you would like to put it. I'm hoping it will bring out a lot more insects then we good one more good cold spell to kill them off to keep them limited this year. I get some freaky looking bugs where I live and the less the better.

Stringer · Feb 14, 2011, 07:02 AM

I am just glad that it is warming up some Adam.

Ok, I have to leave...

adam_89 · Feb 14, 2011, 07:14 AM

Have a good day Stringer. Hope to see you soon.

adam_89 · Feb 14, 2011, 07:14 AM

Anybody want to buy some jewellery?

I agree with you so much. I have been paying bounced check fees because of him for months. He has never paid me back. Lucky enough I haven't bounced a personal check because of it. I have never had issues like this before. So now I sit on 2 actual checks that can't cash. Then I have last week that I am not even getting a check for period. He said he will try and get me some cash. Oh trust me I have already thought if they questioned me I am the one flame that can burn the rest of his little empire. The things he has told me and wanted to do. I could burn him bad. I am not sure if I will be questioned as of yet.

No worries about me spending any minutes in that store doing any thing. I am so much smarter then that. He didn't think I was I am sure. Or maybe he thought there was something I had inside for him still and wanted to help him.

Thanks for the little chat on this smoothy. I know I am a broken record on this topic. But now I am stressed to max over it. His life has officially had an effect on mine and I am not OK with this. Valentines morning and I was in tears all morning. Wasn't good when I had chocolates and flowers and breakfast for me.

adam_89 · Feb 14, 2011, 02:43 PM

Well do what you can to screw him, because what matters is you, not him. If he wants to be a complete idiot, then let him be. Everything that you have listed here should be turned over to an investigator. I think you know things and you seem to know some things that need to be known. So, go talk to the police. Don't try and cover for some idiot, that only makes you look guilty as well and I know you are innocent. Well I hope I know. Tell him to quit screwing around and give you money now! I would be absolutely livid if I was you. I am actually very mad about it right now and it isn't even me. Just go clear your conscious!

smoothy · Feb 14, 2011, 05:45 PM

I'd still go to the branch of the bank that he has an account with.

Try and cash the two... if they bounce... make a stink with the bank manager about it (they might freeze his account)... then I'd get a statement from the bank about it and head straight over to the closest State police Barracks and have a nice long talk with the desk sergant obout these bad checks he gave you.

Of course... assuming he can't come up with 100% cash for them in exchange for them back.

If I got stiffed out of a couple weeks pay... I assume it's a weekly pay and not every two weeks... I'd not harbor a second thought about spilling the beans on someone that had the nerve to screw me like that.

THere is one thing about waiting to be asked about someone who didn't screw me... and its another if I had a lot of stuff to get even with someone that just screwed me out of not just one... but two paychecks.

He OWES you that much... you weren't working there in exhange for a certain percentage of the profits all this time.

88sunflower · Feb 14, 2011, 06:32 PM

Adam and you smoothy are totally right. I have been to the bank in person about the checks. I actually have access to his account online also since that's one thing I did there. I don't even need to bother with the bank I already know I can look it up. I plan on giving him a call sometime tomorrow. See how he dances around it. If I don't get an answer I like I will go from there.

Sorry! Happy thoughts. Rainbows and puppies.

Aurora_Bell · Feb 14, 2011, 06:54 PM

Hey guys, how's things today? Gawd Sunny, your boss seems like a total jerk! On to bigger and better things!

I forgot to take pic's, bu my samosas turned out amazing! Everyone loved them. I made the vegetarian and spicy beef ones. The spinach dip turned out great too. I actually made it in a sour dough loaf. Too bad the Leafs lost :(

adam_89 · Feb 15, 2011, 05:56 AM

Bella,will you come cook me a meal like that?

adam_89 · Feb 15, 2011, 12:14 PM

Is everybody to busy for some AMHD?

88sunflower · Feb 15, 2011, 12:50 PM

I am here adam.
Swearing like a trucker at the hubby right now but I am here.

adam_89 · Feb 15, 2011, 12:55 PM

So what did he do?

88sunflower · Feb 15, 2011, 12:58 PM

Honestly I will tell you and it sent me off on a tail spin let me tell you. He was with me in town, I ran in someplace really quick and he waited in the Jeep. I guess I was faster then he thought I caught him searching through my cell phone. What the heck! That irks me so bad. If you want to look at it then ask me. I have nothing to hide. I am not a happy person right now. You can cut the tension with a knife. I hate hate hate that.
