Hahahaha, here's a weird twist to things.
That lady who skipped the job for two weeks is back and nothing happened.
To make matters worse, I am helping her with her files.... :grumble:

I didn't even know you were in school! I'm so behind on what's been up w/ everybody while I was away...

Being on-call isn't too bad but I have a housewarming party to go to, so now I have to lug around this crappy binder. Someone called @ 8:15 this morning and it's a client I can't even bill for.

Well, I'm not officially a student.
It's only real estate prelicensing classes. After that, I'm off to take my notary public. Then a loan officer weekend seminar. And if all goes well, perhaps regular school after.

Sorry that you had to put in some love time this weekend. I've had my share and I know it sucks donkey balls.

I was considering real estate classes too. But up here they cost $500+ for the first set of classes, and so far no online ones here, so I'd actually have to go and I don't know if I can handle that and working too.

So far so good, only that one call.......no whacks coming in to claim they wanna commit suicide this weekend :woot:

From Yahoo! News:

Unfair boss could shorten your life: study

That crummy boss in the window office could be slowly killing you, according to a study of British workers published on Monday.

Researchers in Finland who did the study found that workers who felt they were being treated fairly had a much lower incidence of coronary heart disease, the leading cause of death in all Western societies.

"Most people care deeply about just treatment by authorities," study author Mika Kivimaki of the Finnish Institute of Occupational Health wrote in this week's Archives of Internal Medicine. "Lack of justice may be a source of oppression, deprivation and stress."

People consider that they are being treated fairly at work when they believe their supervisor considers their viewpoint, shares information about decision-making and treats individuals fairly and in a truthful manner, the study said.

The researchers tracked the 10-year incidence of heart disease in over 6,400 male civil servants in London who had been polled on their perceived level of justice and injustice in the workplace.

"In men who perceived a high level of justice, the risk of coronary heart disease was 30 percent lower than among those who perceived a low or an intermediate level of justice," the researchers said.

That finding was not accounted for by other risk factors, from age and socioeconomic status to cholesterol levels, alcohol consumption and physical activity, the authors said.

Rania Sedhom, a labor and employment attorney with Meyer Suozzi English & Klein in New York who commented on the research, said a parallel study in the United States could find even more dramatic results because of the longer American work day.

At my job, I have to put notes on what I've done, and just now, I made a mistake, after I corrected it, I put gomen nasai in parentheses. The question is: Does this mean I need a break from work, or from J-Dorama? :crazy:

Started work today looks like the only day off this week is going to be Thursday. Otherwise it's going to be busy with the Holiday coming up :(

You need a break from work: I started saying "itadakimasu" before eating my lunch recently. ;)
