Way longer. Like 12 years or more. I used to work across the street in the old Bon Marche mall. I remember them building it and that was a long time ago. ...

Mine is also 17, but still in HS. I had friends that were 17 in college. I guess I'd probably deal with post HS a little bit more lax as long as she's not being totally stupid. ...

They suck for about 2-3 years. It happens all of the sudden too. They just take their head and shove it up their arse. Luckily it doesn't last too long.

Our youngest is 17. She's a pretty good kid, and doesn't give me a lot of shite, but I take her phone when she does occasionally. I've taken her car too.
Me and her mom pay for both, so I remind her neither are really hers, and ours to take or give at our discretion. ...

Yeah, give me the 7-3. I'll be up anyway. That's pretty close to what I work now most days. ...

They aren't going to put any effort into catching them. Someone recently stole my credit card number and paid their damn bills with it. It seems like that would be pretty easy to track down, but I doubt they even try.
Turn on multi factor. ...

[quote]One thing I am tired of is only being given 1-2 weeks PTO per year. It's just not enough to prevent burnout. Give people more time off and the bitching about M-F 8-5 goes away.[/quote]
Yeah 5-10 days blows for PTO. I get 27 days now. ...

I spend 50% of my time in mostly pointless meetings.
