10:00 pm	No, An Elvis Impersonator Did NOT Officiate! CROSS POSTED FROMscax_e_one's JOURNAL: This past weekend I married iris_from_phil in Las Vegas. Here's a photo of us that the professional photographer took: Yes, love is in the air! And to think that I told her on more than one occasion that I didn't want to get married (again). Ahhhh, the power of a woman! M_P (17 Comments |Comment on this)

2:58 pm	The Order Hello, Everyone (~_~) It's been a long time since my second entry! Yeah, been very busy lately with my new job. I'm inspired to share what happened here at work 30 minutes ago: I got a phone from my boss. He asked me if the laptop and projector (I'll use them for my presentation tomorrow in Bakersfield) is already in the office. "Not yet", I replied. He continued, "because I am leaving for a meeting in San Diego. BTW, make me a contract ... blah... blah .... blah." When do you need this, Doc?. He said, "Right now, I am leaving the house (he lives in Palos Verdes and the office is in Hawthorne) right now?". WHAT? You want me to write a contract right now? I don't even have at least a model to pattern PLUS contracts are legal documents. I have to be careful with my words that they are not only politically correct but LEGALly right. Well, thanks to the internet. After 10 minutes, he arrived and I gave him the draft. I don't even know the name of the other party! After reading " Blah... blah... herein refered to as 'company' and _________ refered to as 'exempt employee'", he asked what is Exempt? Oh, my! I want laugh in his face but of, course I couldn't (even if I want to!). An employer doesn't know what/who is an exempt employee? So I briefly explained it to him. And I said if he wants to delete the word "exempt". "No but I need a literature for support." No problem... I'll just have to make few mouse clicks and I printed an excerpt for him and his "exempt" employee. NOW, I am wondering... how many employers are there ( small to medium businesses) who are not aware that there is a New Overtime Rules effective August 23, 2004? Well, I hope you guys (if you are employees) know whether you are an exempt or non-exempt employee. If you don't, you can talk to your HR. Godspeed!

5:27 pm	affirmed! The nicest thing an employee can expect is the boss' pat-on-the-shoulder. Yes, indeed.... I got an affirmation from my boss regarding the results of my reserarch about Phlebotomy... Yeah, I know this is also alien to some who are not in the medical field. I am a Psychology graduate, worked as a school counselor and a human resources supervisor ... and I don't know anything about Phlebotomy. My boss wants to start a school so I had to dig/surf/dive in the internet. After 3 days I presented to him the following: How/where/when/what are the requirements to get the License, How/where/to whom to obtain the couse content, Who/What/How to teach and be certified. I gave phone/fax numbers, websites and the contact persons... And what he said "why have I met you only now? I could have done this long time ago!" Flattering, isn't it? Guess what, he gave two new assignments. I have to research on a copy service business and the mobile Physical Exam van! Do you think it's possible? Maybe, I am crossing my finger! Work is lots of fun when you have a supportive an encouraging employer.... talk about Motivation! Current Mood: satisfied (8 Comments |Comment on this)
