(no subject)

Holy ouch. I just spent a marathon drafting advice that we settle a case. The case was given to my branch for review, and my coworker gave a careful analysis in which he articulated why we should not remove the employee. The Agency ignored the advice and removed the employee. Now the employee is back in my branch as he appealed the action. I reviewed the case and agreed with the first analysis - in fact, since I had more time and the entire case file to review - I did a mini-dissertation about all the flaws in the case (and there were many). I think my favorite was not legally huge, that 3:35 to 3:50 is 15 minutes, not 25 as charged. This was actually pointed out to the other branch, who failed to correct it. Whoops!

I get a charge from finding all the flaws, discovering the truth, and repainting the story as I am sure it really occurred. I actually think the guy is a scumbag and want him fired, but this is not the case to do it. I don't know if they'll take my advice to settle the case, but if they don't, I'll still have a blast litigating it. The only problem will be if I lose, will I be blamed despite the two warnings my branch gave that the case should be settled.

Rugs are hard to shop for. Same subject - I think at Bed, Bath, and Beyond, that nobody actually works there. There are people in uniforms, but if they worked there, they would know where things you asked about were. I'm on the verge of covering my apt with bath mats.

I did - love some, but wow spendy. Also, I have a real problem with rugs I can't see up close and personal. You should see the dazzle biscuit I nearly bought...(shudder)

Try Ikea for rugs. They had some the last time I was there. It's possible that they don't have them anymore, but it's the best option I can come up with.
