If I had a fist of death I would already be in prison.
And mourning pretty much my entire family.
Stay strong Bri, don't use your powers for anything trivial.

Infi? Sounds like a shit day.
Weekend soon...?

Ahh, yeah. I need to relax this weekend. It's been go go go and work work work and I'm just really tired.

I don't know how people with gumption do it.

Or is that porridge?




































Or spoodge?

Since the Bates Motel didn't give me my full paycheck, I can't pay for my internet (used the money on other things, since I was counting on the OT from Bates). Now I have to call my Internet provider and whimper for mercy. Oh, and the Bates is trying to do me out of paying for 5 hours that I worked last week in addition to all the others.

Any of that in writing Sam? Is there a time card you punch or some paperwork you fill out? Grrr - this guy is pissing ME off and I'm not even involved.

Well thanks, Classic. I knew it would be cool to be a member of your clique!

The place grosses about $2,000/day, so there's no financial need to treat staff so poorly.

We fill in our time cards ourselves. I suppose buying a clock that would let us punch in officially would cost too much. Often the desk clerk is alone at the front counter, so there's no actual proof of how long we were there. Of course, Motel Maintenance Man immediately rats us out to the owner if we do something wrong. Naturally, mum's the word if we do something right. The other desk clerk could verify my hours because she was exhausted and called me to ask if I'd mind finishing her shift for her. But she's terrified of "Norman" and is a worse space cadet then I am, so...

If I just knew the computerized check-in and payment programs real motels use, I could apply to some ski resort outfits that are beginning to hire for the winter season, but true to form, all the Bates has is a manual system from the 1950's.

<Victim card> Is it about a paycheck or principle? You sure are ready to fall on your sword over principle but when it comes down to brass tacks you are just like the rest of us....

Huh? What in the world are you talking about? Are you referring to my stance on letting the Bush tax cuts expire and comparing that to getting ripped off at a job that I can't quit until I find other work? How can you compare paying a few more dollars out of one's paycheck in taxes to having no paycheck at all?

I don't think anyone got paid for them, but maybe she did. It was her shift and she might have spaced and put down that she worked the entire thing. Hopefully Carmen can straighten it out now that she's back.

@ Aliantha: Colorado law has a statute of limitations of two years for reporting tricks like the owner is playing. I'm keeping my paperwork and check stubs. My thought is once I find something else, I'll contact the State Department of labor about the owner's little tricks. The man is such a lowlife to take advantage of the recession and the high unemployment here to cheat his employees who get paid nothing to begin with.

You're computer literate. Apply anyway and wing it. If the complete ditzes they usually hire can manage it......

Keep a diary, then at the end of the year get together with the other staff and hit him with a class action.

That's how they do it in the movies anyway right?...
