Ouch

Well I live in the Great State of Nevada. It is called a "work at will state" your will or your employeers.

Well it was my employers will that I no longer work for the company. Guess what in this state they do not have to pay you earned vacation time. I had over 120hours of earned time.

Golden Gaming Inc the Owners of PT Pubs SUCKS. Typical Corporate ASSES with no honor at all. (IMHO)

I also have not seen my last check, what's with that. And where is the info about my 401K.

I also have a question. Can you be fired off the clock? I mean I'm the type of person that arrives 1/2 hour early. Since we cannot clock in I sit out in my truck and listen to audio.

On the night I go fired by supervisor "JOE" comes out orders me inside. Tells me I cannot clock in because he is going to fire me and I have paperwork to sign..

Now what they fired me for I find very hard to believe. Leaving a machine door open? Yeh, right. I go on a location to work on a machine I stick money in the machine to make sure it works before I leave. A gaming machine WILL NOT ACCEPT MONEY or CASH OUT if the DOOR is open.. BOGUS BS

Hmmm, do I sound just a tad angry? If a company want's to reduce the work force I have no problem with that. However firing someone so that you do not have to pay them vacation time and to lie about the reason for the firing is just plain wrong.

I saw another lost dog

In the last post I mentioned I'm not supposed to pick up any more strays.. Well as I was driving down the road the other day.... A beautiful little dog. Well groomed and wearing a collar. And acting very lost. I hope he got home safely. Or that the pound picked him up.

Hey do you Yuwie?



Well, I'm trying to get ready for a vacation. So for the 1st time in 10 years I have totally emptied my closet. At 0300 when I log off I will be going into the exercise room and trying everything on. What does not fit goes into a box for GOODWILL.

I need to make 3 seperate piles, giveaway, take on vacation, put back in closet. I know I will need some long sleeve blouses on vacation. San Diego is a lot cooler than here.

Dogs are BANNED

Well, the dogs are banned from the porch unless we are outside.
They ate my welding gloves.

The dogs are in the dog house. They pulled up the watering lines from the trees.

That's actually ok. We are going to cap the lines and cut down the trees. We will keep the pine trees only. The others drop too many leaves in the pool.

Ilona tried to get the dogs in the wading pool today by force. It was very funny to watch. Maybe the dogs did not think it was hot enough to go wading.

She would pull on the leash and a dog would jump over the pool.

I have been buying the dog food for months. The price going up has been bugging me. Today Ilona brought the food and got a case of sticker shock. She thinks it may be time to get rid of a few dogs.

Ok, So that idea brings up a lot of heavy stuff. The pound is a no kill but full. Not a good idea to just take the dog in-in the middle of the night and tie them to the door. Besides the pound is where they got fixed. They would know who left them.

I could take them to a vet to be put down. That would cost more than 6 months worth of food PER DOG.

I could take them out to the desert and shoot them 1 at a time. Bullets are cheap. Never mind the nightmares I would have for years to come.

I could just blow it off and let Ilona deal with it. That way, we both just mouth off about the cost of food and shots and other wise don't worry about it. I like that idea much better.

I of course need to stop bringing home strays.

Chat?

Don't you just love it! I'm on Yahoo checking my mail. I spend hours doing that.. I get a little pop up that says someone wants to chat with me. So tonight for the 1st time in months I click the window.

Hey I'm bored. But it's the same old same old. Some twit says she is new in town and was referred to me by a common friend. Except I don't know any such person. So of course the next thing the twit does is refer me to XXXX site. Time to close the window.

Oh and block that person of course. I know sex is a big seller and living near "sin city" I guess it should not bother me. What can I say. I have a partner. I'm very happy. And watching is just not my thing.

Banned Books

I live in the Desert

All the dogs are running in and out as they want. See why below.

Well, I woke up very very hot last Saturday. The AC was blowing hot air. Went out to check the circuit breaker.. The Motor for the unit is dead. Just replaced that motor less than 5 years ago.

So right now all the windows are open and the box fan is in one window. The rest of the fans are as close as I can get them to the windows.

The swamp cooler has been rolled over to the front door. I've managed to get the temp from 88 degrees down to 75.9 at 0154.

So I have been spending the evening reseaching A/C units. Here is what I have found out so far.

1. My house is not zoned. It's way too old
2. My duct work has caved in somewhere.
3. An A/C unit can save UP TO 10% electrical if placed in the shade.
4. A room air conditioner works better if it stays on for long periods of time vs. cycling off and on.

I found a new unit that I think I like designed for a room of 450 square feet. You only need a 3" hole in the wall. The part in the house is advertised as quieter than a fan. Ok. About $595.00

One unit for the living room area. One for the bedroom. Install the part that goes outside UNDER the house in the Old Laundry Room area. Yes I would have to install a trap door in the Laundry room which we have been planning to do anyway.

Then run the provided 27 feet of wiring and cooling pipe to approiate areas.

That sounds a whole let better to me than replacing existing duct work. Getting a new whole house unit and trying to figure out where to put it. And of course having to pay $5000.00 plus dollars.

So if anyone has any experience with "Ductless Split Air Systems" I would like some comments.

Thanks
