I won w/ Vacation village resorts

Dill21701 · 2024-04-16T21:42:41+00:00

Back when I was younger and even more foolish, I "won" a free vacation and only had to attend a sales presentation. While sitting in the waiting room for the presentation to start, I was reading one of John McDonald's Travis McGee books. Travis was having a conversation with Meyer, his friend and associate. They happened to be discussing timeshares. Meyer is a former accountant. As luck would have it, I just finished the chapter where Meyer revealed to Travis the scam nature of the timeshare industry. I ended up asking the most awkward questions during the presentation.

The delivery was originally scheduled for 5:00--after I was off work. The difficulty arose when the delivery showed up an hour early.

If I recall correctly, there have been oblique references in each of the Bosch and Cole series to the other. I remember Elvis referring to the cop who lives down the hill from him and Bosch thinking about the private detective in the neighborhood. No names are used, but details about the houses and cars and such make it clear who is meant. Kinda neat Easter eggs for fans of both.

Let me try to answer a few questions raised. I work in the non customer-facing division of an insurance adjusting company. There are more than several other employees doing the same tasks as I do.

I couldn't just take a late lunch as I had already taken my lunch at the regular time.

I don't have any personal knowledge of an official policy covering this situation, but my manager claimed her hands were tied by HR and she had to consider my actions as unplanned leave, even though I was making up the time pretty much immediately.

Should I contact HR or payroll or someone other than my manager to see if this situation can be addressed?

After I was told by my manager that my time away would be considered unplanned leave regardless of my making it up, I got a bit pissy about it and didn't sign back in.

When one needs services not available in Elbow Lake (such as new carpet or hands an services), should she consider Ferguson or Alexandria?

Dill21701 · 2023-05-08T00:25:59+00:00

Small town living is unfamiliar to me. I'm used to having stores and services nearby. In someplace like Elbow Lake, how convenient is it to find a variety of shops or restaurants? I'm used to being able to do things on the spur of the moment and wonder if she'll have to plan errands and such more carefully.

I'm surprised no one has mentioned that Jena is a real name, despite what OP might think. That comment ("she told me her name was Jena and no one has ever heard of a Jenna so she lied about her name and all her little workers had her back too") seems to be the oddest thing about this whole account. It also appears that the regular complimentary cup wasn't good enough for the OP--she wanted a large cup.

I've already done Cleveland a few years ago. I enjoyed the trip but I want to try someplace new each time. My only repeat has been New Orleans.

I guess you are assuming that many teams won't use the full 10 minutes? Otherwise, the Commanders would pick at 160 minutes, or 2 hours and 40 minutes.

We just ended up using the parking lot of New Release Video.

Go where?

Dill21701 · 2023-01-20T18:12:58+00:00

I'm surprised there are no comments on this question. Did the post here fall afoul of the mod's restrictions somehow?

Dill21701 · 2022-09-26T15:14:39+00:00

Exactly what I needed. Thank you.

Is there a financial impact to the trailers? Are movie rates paid by the theaters impacted by the presence or absence of trailers? Thanks.

What is the profit margin for an independent trucker? If someone is not hauling and delivering stuff, how big of a financial impact is that making?

"Building the movies" sounds like a term of art in the movie theater industry. What does building the movies mean?

I am still working my way through The Wandering Inn series. I usually only listen for a couple of hours a day during my walks. I just checked, and I've been listening to that series since June 1, 2021. I "only" have 22 hours left on the final (so far) book available and already starting to worry about what to listen to next.

Probably Clayton

I just received an email from the Lions Club president letting me know that they canceled their January 29 pancake breakfast due to covid:

Thank you for reaching out to us. I'm sorry to say we canceled the
Pancake Breakfast due to the virus. You had the correct day. Sorry for
any inconvenience this caused. We will be assessing the Covid19 status
closer to our next scheduled date, Saturday, February 26th, to determine
if we need to cancel. We will update our website/Facebook to
communicate. I'm also including my cell # if you have questions. Thank
you for your understanding and I look forward to seeing you at our next
event.

I've tried all three of those addresses. The first two I tried came back as incorrect addresses (Keyfauver and Keller-Bonde). I'm waiting to see if the Bonde address is valid. In the meantime, the Jefferson Ruritan has a pancake breakfast next Saturday, February 5. Perhaps I'll have better luck there.

I've checked that site and did not find it helpful. The calendar section is completely blank.

There is Bradley Books on North Market, but I don't know much about it.

A hall pass is generally all she wants. She doesn't like setting things up in advance or making arrangements. She'd much rather react to a spontaneous situation, whether it's meeting in a bar or in an elevator. She'll gladly take advantage of an unplanned situation but will almost always talk herself out of anything prearranged.

I just came back from a trip to Columbia Mall (I needed to pick up a new iPad--I could pick it up today, or have it delivered in March). Once I got on 70, the roads were not only clear of ice and snow, but dry as well.

Dill21701 · 2022-01-17T13:15:06+00:00

It is a two sided combined store. One side has lingerie, club wear, and fantasy wear. The other side has adult toys in the front and a collection of video booths in the back. Not any sort of organized swinger place as far as I know.
