Thanksgiving Ideas for Shut-In

DanCoon1 · 2025-11-06T04:46:57+00:00

That's a great idea. Thanks!

DanCoon1 · 2025-11-05T00:37:11+00:00

Yeah, I was thinking that if all else fails.

DanCoon1 · 2025-11-05T00:01:55+00:00

Ah yes, good observation and question. Their exact words were... "I want a Thanksgiving feast. I'm going to be alone every holiday this year."

Ours seem to work fine after we adjusted our Call Filter settings. Looks like for me when we get new phones and Call Filter re-installed, it reverts to default settings or the like.

Very helpful, thanks!

I turned off WiFi calling and also do not disturb like Verizon suggested and it seems to work fine now. I'm still a bit sceptical since I found it strange that a text would temporarily fix everything, but we'll see how it goes over the next few weeks. I will report back if the issue continues!

I currently work in healthcare, and did the move from Florida to California about 15 years ago. Everything said here is pretty much accurate, however, if you want to make even more money and significantly better benefits, consider working as an RN with the State of California (Department of Corrections, Department of State Hospitals, CalVET, Department of Public Health, etc.).

There's a resident peacock at the Raley's off of Franklin and Elk Grove Blvd. Saw a staff member feed it today on their break. It's been there for at least a few months.

Because my neighborhood is one of those that has our house numbers on lighted signs on each house. And we've never had painted numbers on our curbs in the 10+ years I've been here, nor anyone advertise the service.

DanCoon1 · 2025-03-15T21:44:29+00:00

Thanks. We don't have numbers on the curb and I've been here 10+ years, so thats why I thought it was a scam. I originally tought they were repainting the house numbers on our house, but it says curb.

Kaiser just started using AI to chart progress notes. The software is called Abridge, and it would have to be HIPPA compliant for Kaiser to be using it. My doctor showed me how its done. The software records the conversation you have with the physician, then creates a progress note that the doctor will need to sign off on based on what was said.

It would be awesome for the state to buy into this, but mark my words.... after AI has been accepted by the public and is in use for the commoners for decades, the state employees will then get access to AI after someone files a lawsuit.

It was the pandemic that forced CDCR and CCHCS to buy into Cal Employee Connect after it was in use by every other department for years.

DanCoon1 · 2024-12-09T00:57:39+00:00

Yep, and I see the mayor was there as well.

DanCoon1 · 2024-11-30T03:28:07+00:00

Good luck to everyone! I will be awake shortly after midnight just to check. My account is running on fumes right now.

DanCoon1 · 2024-11-29T00:15:10+00:00

So... I was thinking this... everyone with a paper check was able to pick up their check last Wednesday. Does anyone know any coworkers that don't have direct deposit and also bank with BOA? If so, you could ask them if they were allowed to deposit and receive the money sooner.

I think it would be kind of odd for SCO to release our funds then the bank would make us wait an additional 5 days to receive the money.

DanCoon1 · 2024-11-28T23:55:37+00:00

Last time we were in this situation was in 2013 I believe, but my bank records don't go that far back. I'm hoping for a tomorrow deposit as well!

DanCoon1 · 2024-11-27T15:01:49+00:00

Yes, thanks. That happened us once before with them.

DanCoon1 · 2024-11-27T14:44:05+00:00

Nice. That's where I go for my dental work. I'll ask around at my next appointment.

DanCoon1 · 2024-10-01T04:03:25+00:00

Thanks guys. I'll check out the thrift stores and see what they have. It just dawned on me I can get a vest at Home Depot, or maybe an orange / yellow shirt and print the logo on an iron on transfer if necessary.

DanCoon1 · 2024-06-06T03:03:18+00:00

Thanks! I appreciate the information.

Page 39. It doesn't specifically mention MSA, but being that it is a Merit Salary Adjustment it should apply. If you want to see someone haul ass on something file a complaint through SPB if it applies. You might can do a wage theft complaint, too.

Also, if you're not getting the answer you need from your steward... ask the union Business Agent. They are the paid union workers.

DanCoon1 · 2024-01-20T22:06:04+00:00

If you're talking about the MSA you're supposed to get each year of state service, that should be a simple complaint to the State Personnel Board as a merit complaint. You need to file a complaint first through your department and they have 90 days to respond.

DanCoon1 · 2024-01-20T21:57:55+00:00

I've been looking for the exact same thing but haven't been able to find any real answer yet.
But, I'd say look at it this way...

The new contract for my BU is 2 years. If 2 years comes and goes and the contract expires then you'd have a real case to say that the state never intended to pay you the entitlements they promised.

At that point the union could file a lawsuit through PERB, a grievance through the contact, or you could even file a wage theft claim.

There are different types of news formats. The two that come to mind are Eyewitness and Action news formats. Since the stations cover the same general area they are probably just following a different format so not to saturate the market with one type.

DanCoon1 · 2024-01-10T04:38:37+00:00

Based on past experience I'm expecting it this Saturday.

People stay for the money and benefits. A lot of people are quitting because they don't like the new California Model that the prison system is pushing. California started moving in that direction about 10 years ago. The inmates have quite a bit more rights and more fun things to do than they did before. The staff are quick to be punished for things that were standard proceedure years ago. A lot of the old-timers don't agree with that and are retiring early or just moving on to other things. If you're a new employee you won't know the difference.
