Childfree Woman Refuses To Give Her Annual Leave Slot To A Coworker With Four Kids, Office Drama Ensues

The lady was NTA in this case. I had an unusual case once when I was in the commercial two-way radio installation and repair, i.e., police, fire, ambulance and hospital equipment. In the middle of a two week call rotation with the other techs that covered the other territories our company was responsible for, one of my wife's parents passed away. My manager told me to take whatever time I needed and I was so appreciative of what he and the other techs did. I was able to repay them later by covering for them when they emergency leave needs.

Overworked Employee Quits Because He Wasn't Getting A Fair Wage, Costs The Company $40 Million

I used to be in the field of commercial two-way radio installation and repair. The manufacturer's sales team sold some dash mounted two-way radios to a crop duster pilot training school. The problems started when I was given the task of trying to modify surplus flight helmets to work with the commercial two-way radio. The boom mics had to be replaced, which wasn't cheap, and an adapter box built with an audio transformer to match the impedance between the receiver audio power amp and the helmet speakers. The adapter box also held the additional microphone impedance matching circuits. I lost track of the number of hours I put in working nights while still trying to service the other customers. Let's just say that I did NOT get paid for all the hours I put in. Let's just say that the installation bill was a LOT more than the customer anticipated and he went ballistic, but he had to have radio system working by a certain date and I met that deadline.

Boss Tries To Scare Off Employee For Quitting For A Better Job, Worker's Soon-To-Be CEO Steps In And Threatens The Boss

I can give you an even better one. Being hired by the lone competitor in the field and business you were in for half again as much as you were making at your current employer then getting fired 6 months later on a made-up excuse because you refused to tell your current employer management anything about the customer base of your former employer.

Landlords Didn't Expect Tenant Would Move Her Garden With Her, Have Potential Buyers Walk Out

NTA. It wasn't there before, when you moved in and they didn't pay for it or you to do the work. I don't think there is a judge in the world that would make you put everything back since you returned it to it's original state before you moved in.

50 Work-Related Memes From This Insta Account To Make You Laugh, Then Cry

Haha, the whole 'commitment to working' thing. I work with a guy who spends 16 - 20 hours a day at work. He's SO proud of it and thinks the company likes it too (I'm sure they do). Sadly, if he'd just shut his mouth and stop socializing, he'd get everything he does all day done in about 4 - 5 hours and be a happier person.

Folks In This Online Community Are Boycotting These 40 Things, Brands And People Until The End Of Their Days

I got three coffee drinkers in the house, including me. Several years ago, we, as a family, decided to buy the home version of the Bunn drip coffee maker. We have not been disappointed. Thanks to McDonald's coming to our home town, before we were married in '78, my wife would take her mom to McDonalds every afternoon when she got off work and they would wait for her dad to get off work and join them for some coffee before going home to eat supper. When my wife's dad was diagnosed with the cancer and had to quit working at the age of 75, we bought the home version of the Bunn coffee maker. We still have that original Bunn coffee maker. That machine has to be at least 10-15 years old. by now or older.

Dad Schools Anti-Mask Parents About What Is And Isn’t In The Bible In Powerful Speech

Unfortunately, a lot of folks are too young to remember the various flu epidemic that have gone through the US populations at different times. Sometime between 1980 and 1983, one went through our home town in Southwest Georgia that incapacitated my wife and both her parents. I did not contract it at all, and truth be told, I have never been diagnosed with any type of flue in my entire 67 years. Now, that does not mean that I have ever turned down any flue vaccine available, including this new one that is going around now. Due to heart issues that have cropped up in the three to four years, I felt it was the wise thing to do. My doctors agreed with my decision. I did check with them before I got the shot as to which one they preferred I get. I AM NOT going to say which one they advised me to get because I DO NOT want it to appear that I am pushing one manufacturer over another. If you cannot decide which one you want to take, check with your family doctor as they know you the best.

No, they do not. The air from the hot refrigerant due to compression is cooled first by the heat exchanger in the rear of the unit. That cooled compressed refrigerant is then fed to the coils in the front through an expansion valve, where it drops it's temperature exponentially when it expands and decompresses to a lower pressure. NOW, I do agree that those units are NOT the most efficient thing around, but beggars can't be choosers in that situation. I REALLY feel sorry for the folks on the northern west coast. Their bodies are not climatized to this kind of heat. If they have about another 4 or 5 years of this type of climate cycle, they will get used to it. NOW, the big question becomes., can their infrastructure i.e., roads, power supply be upgraded in time enough to account for it? Who knows, as it will take billions of dollars to do that.

Years ago, before my wife and I got married in '78, I had a black-on-black 74 Mustang II. I live in Southwest Georgia where 95-99 degree days in the summer are not unusual. I was at one of the favorite swimming holes one day and got in my car to go home. It had been parked in the sun for between 4-6 hours. I could swear I could hear sizzling sounds from my wet cut off jeans I had been swimming in and the seat. It didn't take but a second or two to figure out that I needed to give the air-conditioner time to cool things down before I got back in.

I agree with M O'Connell. I have seen that A LOT on communications towers where the attachment wires loosened over time and allowed movement of the coax in the wind. IF the cables are attached properly, that will not happen. Depending on the location and weather extremes, inspections should be done yearly, no less than every five years.

Trust me, I know how hot it can get in a vehicle. I did commercial two-way radio field work in Southwest Georgia for 10 years. I have seen outside, in the sun, temps of 105-110 and the humidity being 100%. That didn't count the temperature inside cars and trucks that I was working on the communications radios in. It was nothing to lose 4-5 pounds between morning and evening when I got home even with drinking 2 gallons of water/Gatorade. Wife would not let me in the house with my wet clothes. I would change in the carport utility room, then hang them on a line on the carport. Putting on a bathrobe, I would then immediately get a shower in the house. My dried clothes would look like they had been dusted with flour when they came off the hangers the next morning.

That is the manual power cut-off to the compressor unit, which has 240 volts running through it. A bad connection in the box could have overheated and caused that. If all the power connections had been good, that would not have happened. I know, because I have one on the back of my house that feeds the compressor unit.

Because your siding was spec'd differently to account for that. I live in the deep south. The siding on my house would not survive zero degree temps, but will survive 100 degree days without warping.

Come on folks!!! Think about it, a black truck in the sun!!! How long do you think that water is going to stay cool? In Southwest Georgia where I live, not long at all in the summer time where daytime temps run between 90-100 degrees with near 100% humidity. You walk out of an airconditioned house in the morning and before you can get to your vehicle, you are soaked in sweat.

Different building codes for different areas. In Texas, they were freezing when it got super cold because their houses weren't built for freezing temps. Just because your house was built to code for a place where it reaches 110 doesn't mean the whole world follows the same codes.

It's probably cycling off via the high pressure control. For the sake of your product, you can put a water mist on the condenser to bring the pressure down.
