    Fuck that.
    If the duress code doesn't also open the safe before people get nervous, I wouldn't use it. If that makes me an accomplace, Im switching sides and telling them everything. #YOLOSWAG2014, don't take those bags, guys, they have the dye packs in!

    I wish I could talk to my mom about things going on in my life without her losing her shit

    sometimes I need to talk about important highly stressful decisions and have literally no outlet

    *points to [chat]'s 21st Century Pre-Memorial Venting Couch*
    have a seat, bro.

    okay here goes

    my lease was going to run out Oct 1, I wasn't going to sign it because I'm unemployed, I have a few grand in the bank but who knows how long that will last so I was just going to move in with my mom once the landlord got tired of us being month to month

    but my roomate got told my the state they were going to pay all but $200/month of his rent since he's disabled, he told them I lived here too and they're like, oh np

    so anyway I sign the new lease, and he sends it to the state

    turns out that they actually do care that there are two tenantsand he doesn't qualify if someone else is on the lease, they don't care if someone lives with him, but he needs to be the sole tenant on the lease

    can't get landlord to change the lease to have just him on it, landlord thinks it would be committing fraud, landlord won't change it, thinks we're trying to use him to scam the state, landlord won't let us break lease entirely and move out

    motherfucker. can you sublet?

    lease forbids subletting and the landlord has made it pretty clear that he will put zero effort in trying to rerent it if we break the lease, he's moving to arizona in like 2 months

    what a piece of shit.

    so contracts or disagreements or insults in writing? Anything else in writing?

    Job descriptions.

    Wage agreements.

    Time-off protocols.

    oh, well i saved the offer letter and i posted the job description here so i'll just save a copy on my hard drive~

    Nah you'll be fine.

    Oh shit I forgot one thing. Find out the length of the contract. This is important. Some contracts if they run out the govt sometimes doesn't renew them, or goes with someone else, so when you are 4 or 5 months away from re-compete, try to find another job, or figure out who is competing for the contract call them up and send them your resume, that way no matter who wins you have a contingency offer. ;)

    im printing out the state definitions for " live in caregiver" my nephew is disabled and if I don't live here, somebody would have to come by a few days a week to help him out

    according to the definitions I would qualify

    he's going to show the landlord and tell him either it's just him on the lease or he's going to move out

    which leaves me in a bind and a huge year long rent lease, the landlord can't go after him for rent because he's on disability but he could go after me till the end of time

    my nephew believes that when given the option of getting the entire lease worth of rent paid by the state immediately or not getting anything and having to go after an unemployed college student that he'll pick the former

    this has me incredibly nervous

    Whatever happens the time lock means the safe isn't opening for half an hour regardless

    Well, I don't know if it's that kind of contract? I was just told it was permanent full-time. Originally this was a temporary position for 3 months but then it became permanent.

    THESE THINGS END?! I just figured because it was immigration it just kept going and going and going..

    Depends on the job, but the more the better.

    Not just big issues (contracts, wages), everyday issues in writing can be very helpful. Its very easy to hear something incorrectly (and also very easy to say something ineptly), misunderstandings in verbal communication are very easy and since there's no record there's no real way to verify anything. This isn't even necessarily a reflection of bad faith or ineptitude, simple phrases like "report" or "client" or "the deadline" or "soon" can easily communicate two completely different things to each person in a conversation.

    This will vary by job and office. Sometimes you can do almost everything by e-mail, sometimes you'll be the only person in an entire office who really does any work on a PC. When possible, keep a written record because it is safer and more accurate.

    Yes government contracts are periodically re-competed. Per FAR the longest a service contract can go is 5 years. If you message me more details I can try to look it up and see how many options are left on the contract, usually the incumbent wins the contract, and there are all sorts of special set asides and such that make things easier.

    Transscrotal piercings (also transcrotal, or scrunnel—short for scrotal tunnel) are piercings which travel into the inner body of the scrotum and then out again. Generally, this means that they travel right through the scrotum from front to back.

    To simplify, the scrotum is first clamped. An incision is made with a scalpel (or sometimes a dermal punch), and the skin on the front is sutured to the skin on the back. Correct stitching is essential for safe and effective healing. Of the three layers of tissue that compose the scrotum (skin, muscle, and membrane), only the skin layers should be stitched together. If any of the other layers are attached, healing can be difficult or impossible. Jewelry is inserted into this fresh hole which is usually between 2 gauge and half an inch, but can be much larger.

    There will be more drug tests this fall in the Mobile County school system as officials encourage more students to join the testing pool, including eighth-graders.

    The first round of drug tests, about 120 screenings, have already been conducted among Mobile County high school students, with 100 percent negative results, said Larry Mouton, executive director of the school system's career and technical education department.

    The Drug Education Council oversees the program, which now has a $120,000 budget and three full-time teachers, said DEC Executive Director Virginia Guy.

    The testing pool includes all students who take part in extracurricular activities; those who drive to campus; and those who voluntarily sign up. The eighth-grade testing pool is only administered to those who "opt in," Guy said.

    How do you screen 120 high school kids and not have one test positive for drugs? That seems unlikely to me. That was my graduating class and I can think of a lot of us who would have failed it.

    I can't really unload the assemblies I make so I guess I'll settle for giving them random names and dealing with the fact that if you spend 400 hours in the program hitting compile over and over, you might run out of memory.
