restaurant week - I'll go!

I need a new job. srsly. I am so burned out on my job I was up til 3am because my stomach hurt from the sheer dread of going back to the office. anyone need a webmaster/web editor? html/css/xml, most any cms, photoshop/fireworks, information architecture = OK, I don't do any server side programming though I pretty much know what the toolkits are for web based projects, writing/editing (copy, substantive) skills very good, for real, but if I have to write all day I'll go nuts.

You should consider moving to California. We should all consider this.

i'm pretty much banking on having tuesday off as a "national day of mourning". i was already on vacation when reagan kicked so while i got 8 hours of leave comped back to me it wasn't as cool as getting an unexpected day off.

who else played on the black lips bill? and did they have the new record at the merch table?

OK I'm gonna run this past you all too:

My coworker missed his bus this morning, offered to work from home (keep in mind that he is on the road most of the time, so he is specifically set up to work remotely 80% of the time and it wouldn't be unusual), was told he HAD to come in by our boss (despite fact that we have received very few inquiries or responses this week due to holiday and we're only working a half day today), so he drove in. Goes and parks in our parking garage (ie the private one in our building, that our company owns, that only company employees can park in) AND THEY CHARGED HIM $10 FOR THE PRIVLEDGE. WTF?

-- Allyzay heard you got beat up in a club. (garance8...) (webmail), December 29th, 2006 4:13 PM. (Allyzay Eisenschefter) (later) (link)

For comparison's sake, there are multiple public garages surrounding our building, all of which have $5 "early bird specials" that cover parking from like anytime before 8:30 until 5 or 6pm, so he's paying double price to park IN HIS OWN COMPANY'S LOT. Who has ever heard of this?

yeah so lame - the company should def pay the parking today

69 (pete), Friday, 29 December 2006 16:19 (seventeen years ago) link

today or any day?? I mean, I don't understand the idea of your own employer charging you to park on their premises.

Allyzay heard you got beat up in a club. (Allyzay Eisenschefter), Friday, 29 December 2006 16:20 (seventeen years ago) link

Companies should never pay for employee parking, it discourages use of public transportation (this is not to say that your company is not being dickish).

Is the parking garage under separate management?

Brian Miller (Brian Miller), Friday, 29 December 2006 16:23 (seventeen years ago) link

Not that I know of, and would doubt it knowing how this place operates. My opinion is that if you are going to offer an employee parking lot or garage, forcing employees to pay for it is asinine. Utilizing the space in a better fashion and not having a lot makes sense to me as a method of encouraging public transit use, as is giving transit benefits. But why offer it and then fleece over your own employees, which you pay like shit under the questionable "we're a non-profit" lie that you keep telling people??? Ugh this place.

petty cash fund

If you ain't eatin' WHAM, you ain't eatin' HAM (trm), Friday, 29 December 2006 16:26 (seventeen years ago) link

from the Going Out Gurus Nightlife Agenda...

At 12:01 a.m. on January 2, 2007, it becomes illegal to smoke inside any bar, club or restaurant in Washington. The employees of the Black Cat have been vocal opponents of the smoking ban from the start -- when owner Dante Ferrando asked them at a staff meeting earlier this year if they'd like to ban cigarettes before the government forced them to, Ferrando says, they voted 30-1 to let the smoke stay. With the ban looming, the Cat is hosting one last "Smoke Night" in the club's Red Room, where everyone's invited to come in, puff away and commiserate before all the ashtrays disappear for the last time.

Brian Miller (Brian Miller), Friday, 29 December 2006 16:26 (seventeen years ago) link

no one here seems to understand any kind of "petty cash fund" or anything like that. I think the conclusion we came to was that we were going to corner Ian and force him to personally reimburse the dude, since it was sooooooooooooooooooooo important that he came in today (not that Ian is here or anything, I mean it's not THAT kind of important right).

my work doesn't pay for parking even though the office is in glover park ie NO METRO ANYWHERE AROUND. it costs like $160/month to park in the garage. luckily I have found a street nearby where the zone signs were taken down for construction.

this year I didn't get much culture at all, which is pretty sad.. but I liked the Sugimoto show a lot
